You ain't even seen the worst of the young and dumb behavior this week. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/coronav...nton-missouri/

Mostly private companies who don't want to stockpile anything.

Wait, so if nobody complained a month ago, it's not happening? Come on son, you know better than this.
Both, honestly. It's not like NY hasn't been requesting aid from the federal government to handle this pandemic for at least a week or more.
At this point one would have to conclude that the federal government is not suited to provide the required resources either. Heck, POTUS was saying about a month ago how the government was purchasing all these supplies, where are they?
Iceland probably did the same things that germany did to limit outbreaks. The kinds of things that a competent, science-based socialist response would do, with universal health care.
We won't do that in the US. Conservatism and free markets will consign us to a higher death rate.
I think it's safe to say NY is reporting at GMT... went from 14 to 95 in a jiffy
He really doesn't.
not wrong though
... so far. Such metrics are meaningless at the beginning of an outbreak.

Madrid’s Ice Rink Turned Into Morgue as Spain Exceeds China in COVID-19 Deaths

I've been tracking death rate since we crossed 20k cases, and it's been progressively getting worse and worse, as it was somewhat expected. Started at 0.9, we're at 1.5 today.
And this is with NY having the bulk of the issues, and I'm not ready to say the system collapsed there yet, but they have one of the best hospital networks in the country in the Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and Cornell system, and a lot of hospitals, so this really, really spells trouble for the smaller cities and towns.

NY is a very scary situation. Just the perfect environment for this thing to snowball for the reasons we've talked about. They had their first case a month and half after California and Washington, so it's not like they're ahead. I think mass transit might be the big culprit here. The UK is taking off, as well.
Some good news:
From WH press conference:
Dr. Brix
- 50% of new cases are in the NYC metro area
- NYC new case growth is flattening
- # of NYC hospitalizations projected to increase next week
- Criticized models that show a massive increase in # cases as they "aren’t based on the reality"
Dr. Fauci
- Believes that COVID-19 is probably seasonal
- Looking for the curve to begin bending down
- It will rapidly decline based on the pattern of other nations
- Must be careful to prevent a second outbreak
warm weather theory
Great news. Hopefully they'll be able run them clinical trials on the northerners and other countries before I get it. This will give the government more time to increase our medical capacity. Further increase the virus testing and antibodies tests. In the meantime I should probably get healthier tbhSome good news:

Today is the day we will pass italy for number of diagnosed cases. Some time today or Tomorrow, we will pass the reported number for china (to be clear: no one believes their data)
The ed up part of this is that Trump is viewing this as "look its Democratic governors who aren't kissing my ass". You ding me for hating this wad too much.
You hate him too little. He is a venal, narcissistic conman sociopath. That is killing people, and will kill people.
That is evil, straight up. you TSA.
There's no point in hating anybody at this point, tbh... what you can do is let your voice be heard come November and beyond.
In the meantime, try to take care of yourself and loved ones, try to help if you can. We're all in this together no matter what team you root for.
It doesn't cost me anything extra to sit here and hate on Trump. Especially when I don't think he has the same sense of us all being in this together.
I'll give him ten days before he goes Lt Gov Patrick mode.
Hey, anybody spend their time however they want. I have better things to do that get bitter over a guy I have no control of.

We can only hope
I think the best data tracking is to be done via hospitalization rates. Regardless of how much testing is done, cases that result in you having to seek hospital care are much more unlikely to go undetected and really allow us to track things. As more states report hospitalization, we'll be able to get a better handle of how those states are doing with their outbreaks. This is the same technique I linked to in the medium posts yesterday.
Hopefully Fauci is right regarding warm weather. Thats the one guy on the stage I trust 100%. Birx is OK, but she doesn't cut through the bull as much as Fauci.
