Will probably see a lot more of this. I don't get the feeling that people in the US have a full appreciation for the magnitude of what is coming.

I've been wondering about the ACC tournament. That's going to be a petri dish. Apparently, it's still happening as planned, full attendance, etc.
 
Just noticed they updated the numbers on the Diamond Princess. They are now showing 245 recovered with the serious numbers down to 18.

Supposedly someone at Clemson is being monitored for it, I assume they have been tested as well.
 
Maybe in the future instead of intentionally infected kids with chickenpox when they are young we can infect them with corona virus instead. Coronavirus dates, with beer too

Putting it in the same context as the flu clearly downplays the threat the Coronavirus poses to the US to the average American that's not debatable and I'm not sure why you're trying to subsequently cover your tracks and say you never implied "x" because when you tout far right-wing talking points "there is nothing wrong with comparing it to the flu" you're clearly implying they are in fact similar in many respects and it's beyond obvious at this point they aren't. These baseless, nonsensical comparisons (even implied ones) between CoV-19 & Influenza need to stop because there really is no valid comparison.

Well have to agree to disagree. And yes im right wing 100%. Clearly stated that as original poster implied the only reason someone would try to compare flu to corono is for the same reason you just implied.
Dont think that is gonna effect the virus and how its gonna behave one way or the other. Its gonna do what its gonna do. I know what the seasonal flu does to us every year. Some are more severe than others. So for me to weigh the EVOLVING state of corona against that backdrop and try to gauge how much worse,neutral or less severe it could or appears to be at the moment is perfectly fine. Im on the fence atm still after 2 months. Prepared for the worse,hoping for the best while at the same time digestion and discerning the facts. Staying grounded in Realville.
 
I was thinking about looking into tickets for the ACC tourney on Thursday IF NC State wins Wednesday. But I think I’ll just save the money for TP and watch from home.

How does the much lower density of population in the US vs Italy and especially SK figure into the equation? SK density is nearly 20 times higher and Italy is about 6 times higher:

It would make sense but since we are following the same logarithmic chart I’m not sure it matters that much but we’ll see where we break off

The right hand does not know what the left hand is saying. Avoid places of a 100 more of people. Last time I took a cruise there was more than a 100 people on it.

So here's a question I have not seen answered. China quarantined for roughly a month which appears to have been effective in reducing the spread of it. However, now that things are starting to pick back up from an activity standpoint isn't there still the risk this thing could just start spreading once again, especially since new cases are being reported daily and there is always the risk of people from other countries entering and spreading it too?

Yeah, I would imagine that it would spread again.
