US per capita deaths are low now, but its still early in our outbreak. Plus although hospitals are strained, not sure we're having to triage people just yet. We will though, and when that happens things will look far worse. We know its coming.
The government is distributing emergency Covid-19 supplies. But some states are losing out.
Florida has received all the supplies it has asked for. But most states haven’t.
On Sunday, Michigan’s Gov. Gretchen Whitmer appeared on Meet the Press to say that her state received 112,000 masks from the national stockpile Saturday, but that even with that number, “We’re going to be in dire straits again in a matter of days.”
President Donald Trump has been critical of Whitmer’s requests for aid, and her criticism of his administration’s response, referring to her as “the woman in Michigan.” By contrast, he has praised Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, where Trump resides, and that state has received multiple shipments of everything it has requested, and is awaiting another, according to FEMA data.
It is not clear why this disparity exists, or what protocol FEMA, which recently took over control of the stockpile, uses to administer resources.

One would hope there's nothing nefarious about this, and politics aren't being played with human lives.
At a press briefing on March 19, Trump expressed resentment about being asked for medical supplies, saying that the federal government is “not a shipping clerk.” He also suggested that governors needed to take care of their own states, acquiring necessary medical materials themselves on the open market.
Governors “are supposed to be doing a lot of this work” of obtaining supplies, Trump said at the time.
But many governors and health officials have said this approach is difficult, needlessly expensive, and that it pits localities both against one another — and the federal government.
“Allowing the free market to determine availability and pricing is not the way we should be dealing with this national crisis at this time,” Virginia’s Gov. Ralph Northam said.
“It is a challenge,” Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said. “The federal government says ‘States, you need to go find your supply chain,’ and then the federal government ends up buying from that supply chain.”

From same article...
We have about 2.5k deaths right now. Assuming a slow 4 day doubling time for deaths (I think it'll be faster), in ~3 weeks we hit 150k dead. Thats why Fauci's numbers seem appropriate.
It not just the old dying now. If it's 100K, then maybe 20K - 30K will be under 60.
Trump accuses hospitals of hoarding ventilators
did not cite any evidence
to back his accusation that hospitals were hoarding the devices. It was also unclear which medical facilities he was referring to.
“We have some healthcare workers, some hospitals ... hoarding equipment including ventilators,”
the administration was asking U.S. governors and mayors to know “where your anesthesia ventilators are.” amazing bull from this ditzy sycophant

Trump Wants Doctors To Reuse Their Contaminated Coronavirus Masks

The feds barely have any stock of fave masks. They burned through 100 million of the during the H1N1 scare and never replaced them.
White House dismissed $2 billion request for emergency supplies as crisis loomed
on Feb. 5, back when there were few confirmed U.S. coronavirus cases but it was already clear that the pandemic was spreading worldwide,
Health and Human Secretary Alex Azar asked the administration for $2 billion in emergency funding for the exact supplies now in shortage, including protective masks.
The administration refused, cutting the request to $500 million in the eventual budget request.
But it's the reason Azar's request wasn't taken seriously that's the most damning.
the Feb. 5 request devolved into
"a shouting match" between Azar and an unnamed Official of Management and Budget official
who was angry at Azar in the belief Azar had already "improperly lobbied" Congress for that emergency money.
Azar asking for massive new funding to prepare for the pandemic would have conflicted mightily with Trump's insistence that officials downplay the threat.
the deep disparities between what different states are getting, from the national stockpile.
Massachusetts has received only 17% of requested supplies,
Maine about 5%, and
Colorado only enough for "one full day."

China says imported virus cases raise risk of new infection wave
The rising number of imported coronavirus cases in China have raised
the possibility that the country will undergo a second wave of infections,
“China already has an ac ulated total of 693 cases entering from overseas,
which means the possibility of a new round of infections remains relatively big,”

No wonder DarrinS is acting out today.
This really isnt going to end well for all of us,tbh
Were his numbers for the month or overall? Because nothing is ending in 3 weeks.
How exactly am I "acting out"? Lol
I'll play optimist again. This of course assumes daily deaths reliably increase a certain percentage. When Italy reached the 2500 mark, their growth rate projected them to be at ~30K right now. https://coronavirus.1point3acres.com/en
I also think New York (and some other hotspots) are inflating the national growth rate. The curve has to bend at some point through our lockdown and social distancing efforts, less prone regions that will naturally have a slower growth rate due to factors like population density, average age, obesity rate, climate, social behavior, use of mass transit, and so on. Basically, I think New York will start to slow at some point, which will also slow the national growth rate. And yes, I expect other hotpots to start their inflection points, but hopefully they won't explode like New York, which, as I've said, just checks ALL the boxes.
