Some interesting numbers,

World - Cases which had an outcome - 87% recovered - 13% Deaths
USA - Cases which had an outcome - 28% recovered - 72% Deaths

Given that the cases are just starting to greatly increase........

BREAKING: Drs in Spain in anger & tears are forced to remove respirators from people 65 hrs & up to give to younger people. They don’t have the supplies or enough respirators. Seniors are sedated so they don't suffer. Drs blame politicians who acted late.

Don't take unnecessary risks and wear a mask in public.

On another bullshit note.
Ticks are out.

The guinea hens are out patrolling the farmyard already. Beware these watch dogs.

In early Feburary when it was blatantly obvious CV was going to be a big problem, I stated that the masses were going to get a brutal lesson in exponential growth. Well that lesson is still in the early innings. The growth of this graph is alarming however when we look back 3 months from now it will appear as though we are just leaving the X-axis. At the current rate of growth every 2 weeks there are 8 times more cases or 64 times more cases in a month. Social distancing will help flatten the curve but within 6 months there will be a period when over 20% of the population will catch it in a single week. The real problems are just beginning imo. It's looking like it's going to be a very challenging crop year.

The chart might more accurately be named Total Cases Identified for it will never be known how many contracted or carried the virus. If it persists it is reasonable to think that sooner or later everyone will be exposed to it if total isolation is not practiced or a vaccine is not produced

Going strictly by math and numbers , where should China infections be by now ?
1/2 billion ? With millions dead ?
Either China is not telling the truth, hmmm , or the infection/ death by numbers did not apply there, or South Korea .
Again just wondering, because there are a lot of terrifying hockey stick graphs being shown by exponential growth , we have seen that before in other things .
Hopefully it levels out before the math does .......

Unofficially China is still having problems, but It is law to wear masks in public. They road blocked, isolated, disinfected streets and buildings, they locked the infected inside. They had a plan in place and executed. The R naught is around 4 or 5 and to get it below 1 is a tall order considering how ignorant most of the population is. We need to employ tactics straight out of a biowarfare decontamination manual. Washing hands just isn't enough.
