This is absolutely not apple's to apple's. We have 7 times the number of people in the US as Italy. Also, as I said yesterday, our confirmed numbers would explode as we got our testing up to speed. That doesn't mean we should panic and cry that the sky is falling. Before this last week or so we tested very few people. We will see it explode more still as we test even higher numbers soon. This want necessarily mean out infection rates exploded overnight as most of these people were most likely already infected. We just didn't know it.

Not to mention ten days ago Italy lost 168 people. So far today the US is at 42.
 
I’ve watched some videos on people’s experience with COVID-19 and some say it’s so mild or there asymptomatic all the way to saying they have a sore throat the night before than the next morning they wake up
With full blown pneumonia, quite interesting

Looks to be a preparatory measure to facilitate a broader activation (which could be soon forthcoming; I imagine there's going to be some Warning Orders sent out over the next day or two).

The US population of people over 60 is larger than the entire population of Italy.......

The point is that the percentage of their total elderly population is much higher than that of the United States; over 21% of Italians are >65, while it's less than 15% for the US.

They got any flour and yeast? Could always try baking it at home. I've never done it myself, but I may just take this opportunity to try it.

We gotta pivot yo.

Just in case anyone thought we were not in any real trouble in the US.....the lag time is key, it takes 10ish days to show symptoms, then from that onset to death for those that have died its around 20-25 days. That means that the death count wont take off in the US for another 30 days or so....its also why even though Italy has had a total lockdown for 8-10 days now they are still seeing a steady climb in daily deaths....the real question is did we and are we doing enough now to separate us from where Italy is now....

Saw this posted by JP Dice earlier. I live in the clay centerpoint area of the Birmingham metro. Get to see a good bit of air traffic in this area and I can attest to see some of these larger planes rolling in. Delta has been parking a bunch of their 767s and 777s at BHM. Not typical traffic for this areaScreenshot_20200320-193923_Facebook.jpg

Yep, but they're saying that neither Pence nor Trump had "close contact with the individual."

Sounds like a plan. Now that I think about it, I'm half empty on Bisquick. I kinda forgot about it when stocking up. I'll fix that tomorrow if I see it.
