There's a reason why it hasn't clicked with the masses. Misinformation from a reality TV star...
Referencing Maddow and misinformation from others; the irony. Last week your hero said that even the slightest act to limit border crossings would be racist. Pure hilariousness. All those university students and millennials partying...supporters of the president? I want to see you actually type it.
The oldest millennials are around 39 and fastly approaching middle age.
The youngest millennials are around 24 and are in grad school, if they are in school at all, not partying for Spring Break.
Inform yourself before you look stupid next time.

There is no such thing. The only way is to watch Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN, so you get access to all the news. Then do your research to figure out what is and isn't true.

New York Governor Cuomo just announced that, consulting medical experts, New York state will be conducting trials using hydroxychloroquine with Z Pack. Another trial to watch.

Unbiased America has a facebook page that tends to just present the facts. If you are looking for something that does not tend to skew one way or the other that is a pretty good page to follow.

The amount of biased, nonsensical clutter put in this thread by the one poster with CUSA-level mentality, would be comical if it wasn't so ignorant.
The fact is that the US had it's first case on Jan 21 - 3 days before France, 10 days before Italy, and 11 days before Spain. And our country's situation is nowhere near the levels those countries are experiencing. Yet these political operatives are so frothy with their desire to put some blame on Trump, that they try to twist this into a bad thing. They say, "we're still seeing such growth this late in the curve, blah, blah...".
The measures we have taken are to flatten the curve - remember? And that is exactly what we've done so far. Testing is up, so reported positives are up. But our metrics are still at world-class levels. We are the leader in the sick rate of population. And most importantly, we are behind only Germany in the fewest deaths per capita (in 17 countries with significant cases). South Korea - who many in the media keep referencing - is experiencing 1 death per 546k population. The world rate is 1 per 777k population. The US is 1 per 1.6M.
Ignore the blatantly biased media on this thing. Get the unspun facts and think for yourself.

A day ago: It might get better... it might not.
While the numbers may be true as far as reporting I doubt it reflects the actual growth/detection rate.
The growth rate is factor of how many tests you administer. So while our detection rate is going up very fast it is likely due to the fact that we are actually capable of testing people now.
Do you have proof of this? Reports I've seen from medical staff at hospitals across the nation have all been the opposite... American hospitals don't have enough tests and hospitals are forced to stop testing many potential cases cdue to the shortage....
I'll await your proof.
