I understand that and that’s why I said the numbers are as of now, subject to change.

I think the larger risk is in the highly congested metro areas. Suppression is the key. I’d say we’ll have a much clearer picture in a week from now. Of course, we’re learning stuff each and every day too.

I agree. One thing a lot of America still has going for us is comparably low population density to other countries.

+5200 in one day. Deaths jumped from 122 to 221 in two days.

There is now one presumptive case in Sedgwick County. A 60 year old lady who is now self-isolating.

I think population density is a big factor in this.

Long but worth the read. Summary: warm weather probably will burn off the virus and things simply are not as bad as being report.

I attempted to look up cases by region and admittedly didnt put too much effort into it https://www.livescience.com/coronavi...ed-states.html

China has 1,927 cases as of 3/21/20 that are serious or critical, the US has 64 cases that are serious or critical on the same date.

The Hoover Institute has a "projection" of a peak of well under 1 million world-wide, with the total number of deaths at 50,000. Their guess is as good as any other we've been fed over the last 10 days.

This is all just a big liberal ploy to discredit President Trump and steal the Presidency so the deepstate can get Medicare for all. Hide your guns, hide your wife... they infecting everyone out here.

I guess that's the danger of crying wolf for 3 years straight -- when there actually is a wolf, it's hard to get the people you have pissed off to listen.

This article makes a loooooot of assumptions. The assumptions may be correct, but that’s also assuming a lot.

I am especially skeptical to the warm weather argument. It will likely decrease the rate of spread, but it will not eliminate it as some are hoping.

That sounds like a personal problem actually. I know the mentality of quite a few on this board is that of anything involving education/science being code words for Liberal Indoctrination and that stupidity is something I'll never be able to change. But I'll sure as hell make fun of you for it.

I absolutely agree with that statement. One wonders what these folks studied when they attended (if they did at all). Heck, even if you were a business major, you had to take higher-level math (statistics & calculus) and probably took some science, so what I see on these boards really makes me SMH at times.

While your premise is valid (and I originally though that) and the president also thinks it is valid, I'm not as sure. Watching this thing change and talking to Oregon Shocker and Wufan on this board made me go back and do more research, and come to the conclusion this virus is morphing and once it gets entrenched, it will stay in the community for some time. To me, the biggest surprise was India closing its borders and some of the reports I've heard from there.

I'm also wondering if this virus will further morph and hit 20-40 year olds much harder than it has. Experience in Italy seems to be pointing this out and what we are seeing here in our country indicates this might now be true.
