USA now has more coronavirus cases even with our pathetic testing than Spain (2nd most), Italy (3rd most), France (4th most) and Germany (5th most) COMBINED. We may end up with more cases than all of the EU when this is all said and done despite 100 million less people, a lower amount of people in urban areas and a 2 full week head start on preparation over our friends in the EU. That’s what we call great leadership.
Antibody test done in Finland is showing around 3% of those tested are showing antibodies... I have seen a couple other studies which showed around 3% infected. If NY State had 3% of their population infected, that would be around 585,000 people in NY state alone. Obviously this is no where close to herd immunity, but it is a compelling argument that the virus FR would be lower than the 4% we are seeing here.

Someone finally got to Trump that our testing is embarrassing so we might get testing up to where everyone will be able to get tested in 4 years instead of 6.
https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/main.html This is what they are using. I can't imagine this is a good tracker
So were back to comparing this to the flu? Want to know what talking points i will be hearing tomorrow
I don't really understand setting some random date to reopen either. I think it's worse to get people's hopes up and then have to push it back.
I'm seeing this and we're going to see sports played with no audience and only suite owners allowed b/c they can properly "distance" themselves
This reopening plan seems pretty reasonable. It's obvious when they listen to the medical experts over the economic and political advisers
I kind of agree. It seems thought out from a public health stand point. One thing I don't like is "no increases in cases" So if we still have a fuck ton each day, but they aren't going up we're going to open up?
Parson is a fucking shithead. At least here in KC though, the metro counties on both sides of the state line are following the KCMO mayor's lead when it comes to rules. So that's at least been a nice thing to see. No clue how St. Louis is handling it.
Can’t we let people with a positive CV test attend sporting events? Give them something for recovering
StL County and city have basically ordered the same strict distancing rules that most of the non idiot states have instituted. Parsons is such a Moron. I read he's only doing video press conferences w no press questions.
the fine print says it’s based on doctors visits to outpatient clinics. People aren’t going to the doctor right now if they are sick unless they think it’s coronavirus. Even then, more are going straight to a hospital or just toughing it out because tests are low. The map makes sense because it’s based on truly horrible data.
We did a great job only 50,000 deaths way under what is expected. Sure 2 million people died from the flu this year but hey the flu was around when Obama was President and he didn’t stop it.
Sentinel stations in communities that are particularly vulnerable (inner city/indigenous ppl) is how we're going to catch asymptomatics - Birx wtf
