What do you want us to do? Weep? Pre-condition ourselves for the panic? We're taking it just like everyone else: one day at a time. States are sending out state of emergency. Hand sanitizers are selling like hot cakes. Do we have to break down and lose our mind to be taken seriously? Here's a reason to be optimistic: the US's population density is only 1/3 that of Europe and 1/4 that of Asia.

Coronavirus: Missouri man breaks self-quarantine, goes to school dance
This is a perfect example of what I mentioned yesterday about American behavior. There are many more cases here than acknowledged, thanks to extremely limited testing and blase attitudes by many of the infected.

That's one of the negatives about Americans. We are very optimistic people, individualist etc. but that can turn into being very self centered very easily. Especially if you listen to politicians/media telling you that it's not a threat and is actually a hoax.

No offense, but I'd take anything on Reddit with a very big grain of salt. In contrast, Highway2Heel's post presented the best overall summary to date. Factual stuff. From real physicians and those treating the patients.

None taken. The r/dataisbeautiful sub takes their data pretty seriously in general, but your point is taken. Here is an interactive map sourced with WHO data, if you prefer.

Instead, he denies the problem, puts a science denier in charge, puts science under kibosh and goes around SHAKING HANDS WITH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. After himself being exposed to contagion.
Where is TSA when you really need them, eh? Or any other federal agencies for that matter. Words fail me.

Anyone else suspicious that Russia has reported practically no cases? They have pretty consistent travel with eastern europe, Iran, and China, yet they have pretty much zero cases.

In Brabant (southern part of NL, where the Tesla factory is) all events are cancelled immediately if there are more than 1000 attendees. No lockdown of the province yet, but we're not far from it. All employees that can work remotely are requested to work from home.

Extremely suspicions. And have been extremely suspicious for quite some time. And they're exactly the sort of nation which would hide this sort of thing. And Putin is currently working to get a bit of constitutional gymnastics approved that would allow him to "legally" stay in office beyond 2024.
That's what I think every time I go to the dentist! Blows me away we have cars that almost drive themselves, rockets that land themselves, and still don't have a vaccine for corona or cavities.

We haven't started widespread testing for the virus, so we have no idea how many cases we have, except for those presenting symptoms and getting tested.
