My $0.02 on China. The damage is done...they have destroyed a lot of trust and credibility with the rest of the world. For a regime that prides itself on appearances, the consequences of hiding an outbreak are far far worse than war.

This is good to see - a big chuck of the administration's economic response package includes loans to small businesses that will allow them to pay their employees 100% of their regular paycheck, for up to 6 weeks.

This Chloroquine “news” isn’t even news. China has been publishing what has been helpful to them for MONTHS.
The findings of Chloroquine being helpful for covid was published a month ago, February 19th.
It looks like the French published a peer reviewed trial and the US just said “oh ok we should try it”
Thanks China and France! Global communication is nice!

It's not quite that simple (but then, these things never are).
COVID-19: Could Hydroxychloroquine Really Be An Answer?
Repurposing an old malaria drug to treat patients with COVID-19 could not only reduce symptoms and shorten the disease duration but also reduce the viral load, suggests a preliminary French study.

Wasn’t commenting on the validity of using chloroquine, just the use being breaking news.

For anybody still wondering why tests are important it only takes a quick google search. I mean, come on people. It's 2020. You shouldn't have to get your pandemic news from a weather message board site but here you go. (no offense southernwx, luv ya)

I really wish we could put this to rest. If you think tests don't matter then admit your guessing and that your guess isn't supported by the scientific or medical community. Or cite sources if you have them. Again, I'd love to see them because we are all trying to learn.
Lessons From Coronavirus: Testing Is Essential To Save Lives and Protect Human Health
Testing, testing, testing – the novel coronavirus has revealed the critical importance of swift and accurate testing and reporting, something that for decades, the Environmental Working Group has advocated for across multiple areas of public health and the environment.

Special Report: How Korea trounced U.S. in race to test people for coronavirus
SEOUL - In late January, South Korean health officials summoned representatives from more than 20 medical companies from their lunar New Year celebrations to a conference room tucked inside Seoul’s busy train station.

SC’s first coronavirus cluster highlights the importance of tests, but they’re hard to get
South Carolina’s biggest cluster of coronavirus cases would have gone undetected under early federal testing guidelines if doctors had not insisted their patient be tested anyway.
The Dangerous Delays in U.S. Coronavirus Testing Haven’t Stopped
Without adequate testing, people with coronavirus symptoms are left to agonize over the right course of action on their own.

A graphic illustration of the situation in Italy. 
Something doesn’t quite add up. Don’t get me wrong what is happening in Italy is horrible, but Italy is not losing thousands of people a day and wouldn’t need a complete convey to carry coffins. I’d think that image is probably aid and not coffins

They had almost 1000 die the past two days so it's possible these trucks are carrying the dead unfortunately.

Bottom of article says:Main Street Baptist Church says parent of child at day care tests presumptive positive for COVID-19

When asked about the church’s email, the Forsyth County Department of Public Health director said they are going to do a news briefing Thursday at 2 p.m.
When asked if the information was accurate to the best of his knowledge, he said, “I will verify tomorrow.”
It almost seems like the HD was surprised to be asked about this. Did he not think there was going to be media attention? Doesn't give a great impression in my opinion.

How many caskets do you think would fit in each truck? 20? 25? Even at 50 caskets per truck you would need 20 trucks. And that's just for 2 days. I only see about a dozen trucks in that picture.

I don’t want to say too much, but part of the problem here may be that more than one county health department is involved (i.e. lack of communication). But as for the contents of my email, it is all 100 percent true.

It's all terribly true, unfortunately.
