Theres always going to be a 'false peak' as diagnoses are way behind. This stuff has been around since November. My personal belief is that we (USA) are already past the actual peak, but stats wont show it because we started testing for it late in the game.
GF suspects they all had it in December to January. Shes a RN and the Dr went on a trip to Africa in December. He got sick right as he returned, office got it, she brought it home. I got a very minor 'cold' at the same time. They say you can be re-infected, but I suspect as healthy young-ish adults we had it, beat it and didnt even know it.
Or, had it, beat it back and are still carrying it like a case of herpes? You may know more about this than I do or can ask your GF, does it... incubating in nerve cells(?)... mean is it like herpes and incurable? Does it live in spinal fluid? Heroes travels along nerve routes and erupts when your immune system is down. Is this similar at all to herpes-complex molecules, I wonder. Read that somewhere. So much misinfo and useless disinfo flying around. A lot here for some reason. I mean. I like music, memes and laughing... Probably more than most. But the 'just a flu. Get back to work' flooding is of the charts. Something FUCKY. Definitely going on.
Edited: My spellchecking keyboard is drunk. It's not me! Honest!
It's not a molecule, it's a virus. Not sure if Wuhan flu is carried for life or if either it or host has to die soon. Learning that much may be a ways off.
I know a relative who had similar ChiCom Virus symptoms back in early December, they work at a college and knew plenty of other people who had similar symptoms at the time. I had what I though was a bad cold in early January, low fever and cough for a week or so before subsiding. At the time I attributed it to being outside a lot in mid-late Dec.
Don't even gaf. So tired of people predicting this or that from some tiny-assed change or crumb of data. Just stay tf inside. Trump said 15 days and, by my count, got a little less than a week to go. I'll care about the predictions after that.
The graph shows new cases per day. It has "peaked" in the sense that 4 days ago they tested their record high number of people as positive, but that's not very informative as to the actual spread.
If you have a different graph showing # of deaths per day that would also be (morbidly) interesting to see.
My State is holding at 5 dead and 1 person recovered. We're adding new positives quickly, up to 400+. Most Counties in my whole region have 0, with the second highest category being 1-4 people who have tested positive. It'd be nice if our rural areas were actually safe, but of course this could just reflect a lack of testing.
We have nearly 55,000 tested positive. If we've only tested 300,000 that would mean that over 1 in 6 test positive. The numbers I've seen are all less than 1 in 10 tests come back positive, Nationwide.
That's a big difference! If it's less than 1 in 10, I think it makes sense to forego testing even with mild symptoms that are manageable if you can isolate effectively, in order to save resources for areas that are hardest hit.
If more than 1 in 6 test positive? Prioritizing that way may make no sense. This is a material difference.

Ah, shit. Yeah, that was dumb. Virus... made of molecules.

That's probably what they said on March 10th, too.
Over 5,000 new cases a day doesn't sound like Italy has peaked yet.
deaths.. America prob has around 1.5 M infected but only 300,000 tested so far..

Is Italy using HCQ?
