The US has now blown past Spain in confirmed cases, is now #3, and is quickly gaining on Iran to take over the #2 spot.

The mortality rate in the US is currently a bit below 1.3%, so unfortunately, COVID-19 remains more than 10 times deadlier than the seasonal flu (0.1% mortality rate).

The trend is hardly encouraging:
March 17: 1748 new cases and 23 new deaths
March 21: 4824 new cases and 46 new deaths
March 22: 9359 new cases and 111 new deaths
March 23: 10,168 new cases and 140 new deaths

Trump said at a news conference: “Nobody ever thought of numbers like this’’. The fictitious “Crimson Contagion” sounds a lot like COVID-19. In Oct. 2019, a Federal DHS report (“Crimson Contagion”) documents that officials at the Homeland Security, Health and Human Services departments, and the White House’s National Security Council were on notice of the potential for a respiratory virus outbreak originating in China to spread quickly to the U.S..

I'm not a big Trump fan even though I do think he has had a great first term. I am just fully opposed to criminals like Pelosi and Schumer that play political games over saving American lives. They are the very lowest element of society , you literally cannot get any lower or any more heartless

The big increase in cases is due to increased testing (which we did not have a few weeks ago).
The virus has been spreading in the US for months, we are only finally testing it now for an official count.

It is a shame they give a death rate (1 percent) that has a denominator of "people tested positive", and not a denominator of total people in the respective population. Many people who have or had the virus with no serious issues are not counted in the denominator.

Interesting comment by one of the doctors today at the press conference. She said that people (I'm assuming Dr F, and Dr Gupta, etc) have warned about a possible 50 percent infection rate in the US population (which would be about 175 million Americans infected and a death total of 1.75M Americans) .
She wanted to explain how they arrived at this percentage and to calm people down.

She then explained, this percentage assumes A 3 YEAR CYCLE OF THE VIRUS.......not just this year!!!!
I wish Dr G and Dr. F would have said this in their predictions/possible predictions to the public.

Those are POLITICALLY motivated doctors. It should surprise no one

So population wise, the rate of coronavirus in Spain(.07%) and the mortality rate(.005%)
In the US, it is 1/3 rate of Spain's occurrence of coronavirus with 1/4 the total # of deaths.
Btw, about 16,000 people died from HIV in the US 2016. 161,000 avoidable hospital deaths occur in the
US annually.

And thousands of people get killed by guns. What's your point? Do you wait until 20,000 people are dead before you do anything? 50,000? 100,000? At what point do you take action?

I still cannot get over the evil of Pelosi and Schumer, packing a stimulus bill aimed to save the lives of those devastated by this with political garbage like diversity, solar power initiatives, etc....I hope no matter which side you lean toward, we all can agree this is most wretched thing. I cannot believe the evil that exists in DC

If people are driven to suicides more here than in other countries it's because we don't have the social safety net that other countries have. That's the way Republicans want it, apparently.

I really wish they would keep that crap out of there, on both sides. They need to grow up and get a package done that just pertains to the virus. But they haven't shown much ability to do that in the past. And no, it isn't just Democrats.

Dr. Jerome Adams, surgeon general, just said at a conference on TV:

"People have to remember that results are showing 96 percent of all people being tested are negative for covid 19. And if people are tested positive, they have a 98 percent chance at survival."

So you say getting low paid workers 4 months of full wages when they are let go because of the virus is shameful and disgusting? I guess you want more corporate buybacks to line the pockets of the rich.

I really wish they would keep that crap out of there, on both sides. They need to grow up and get a package done that just pertains to the virus. But they haven't shown much ability to do that in the past. And no, it isn't just Democrats.

Really cannot blame both sides right now, the left is trying to put in all their pet political agenda items into this bill. It is disgusting and shameful

I don't see the connection between Planned Parenthood, among others and stopping the Chinese Coronavirus.

So the Republicans put nothing in there that had nothing to do with the virus?

Everyone needs to DEMAND Pelosi and Schumer resign. I have never seen anything like this in my life. This is really so sad, my God.

Keep things in perspective.Maintain your humanity.
Btw, approximately 60% of the gun violence deaths are suicides. Those numbers actually surpass
US coronavirus deaths. If people lose their homes,
businesses, jobs, etc suicides could be a greater tragedy than coronavirus deaths.

The vast majority of people are already doing what you suggested - not being panicked and maintaining humanity. The pliticians are trying to take action to prevent evictions and foreclosures, hopefully they succeed.

If people are driven to suicides more here than in other countries it's because we don't have the social safety net that other countries have. That's the way Republicans want it, apparently.

We have to pass it, to see what's inside.
