Deaths in Italy dropped for a second day in a row. It is working, it just takes a while. The next phase of this is that when you do start to loosen the restrictions, the cases increase again, like what is happening now in parts of Asia.

Stay at home order for Indiana that will kick in on Wednesday. Our confirmed case number is still kind of low compared to many other states, but a concerning thing is that 8 people have already died. I think that is a good indicator that we are substantially farther along with the outbreak than we think, because it often takes 10 days, 2 weeks, 3 weeks for a person to die from this.

Although testing is a bit better than it was early on, there is no question we are still in serious catch up mode in this country, with some states lagging behind more than others. In some instances, the only reported case in a county is of someone who died. Very unlikely.

My sister's friend works in a hospital, is feeling sick (not sure on exact symptoms) and can't get tested. If that is the situation across the country, ****

New record for Mayberry in a post.

This thing is going to spread pretty easily in prisons. Supposedly there are a lot of other cases where he is.

Well said. And yeah, increased depression, suicides, child abuse, the economics, etc are the negative consequences of shutting so much down, especially if it goes on for a while. It is a tough spot for decision makers to be in.

296 new cases in Illinois, 3 new deaths
-
The swine flu deaths took like a year or more to get to the 12,000+ number, iirc. We'll see where we are with covid19 in early to mid 2021. Hopefully it will be a lower death toll in the US... if it is, it will be because of the current measures and some very effective/widely available/low cost treatment option.

Good news in Italy is that deaths were down from yesterday. Bad news it was still well over 600.
-
New map of confirmed cases from Indiana's virus page Obviously there is undercounting because of testing issues. It is no surprise that Marion county/Indianapolis leads the state, but another thing that stands out are the very low numbers in the donut counties around there. A lot of people commute into Indianapolis from those counties, though less now than a couple weeks ago with many companies putting emphasis on working from home.

I am fixated on bubble guy.

Drudge right now... lol

Another good tracking site https://coronavirus.1point3acres.com/en

This is a pretty good site China specifically https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/china/ You are right to treat them with skepticism. For various reasons I think it will be more telling to watch how long it takes Europe to turn the corner for a better idea of what we're facing here in the US.

4th death in Indiana. 126 confirmed cases

They are pulling back on testing in big cities like NY and LA.

People with other ailments avoiding the hospital if they can?

Third death in Indiana with less than 100 confirmed cases in the state. That is the same number of deaths as Michigan, which has confirmed over 550 cases. I just read a story that the husband of the woman in critical condition that I posted about a few days ago has been having symptoms and even he has not been tested yet. You'd think he of all people would be able to get one.
-
There is a lot of blame to go around on leaders in this country and elsewhere. The original sinner in all of this is China because of their disgraceful coverup of what was going on there before they couldn't hide it anymore. Been doing a good job of keeping politics out of this thread for the most part and would like that to continue. Whatever you think of the response to this pandemic or anything else, we have a chance to decide our path in less than 8 months, like we do every 4 years.
-
Yeah, somebody should come up with a better term for it. Shelter in place is misleading and causes unnecessary panic rush to the stores like you said.
-
I am hitting the store again today just to avoid the real chaos later. Indiana has been lagging Illinois a bit on many of these restrictions so I am figuring shelter in place in IN is coming.
