We have only about 8% infected out of the people they've tested (not very many tested) and most cases are in Milwaukee (our only really large city & large airport). We've had 17,000 flu cases and 1,550 coronavirus cases... so far.
The testing (or lack) is the frustrating part. US is doing 100,000 tests per day... so it will take 3,300 days to test everyone (9 years).

And Fox News is crushing MSNBC in ratings... even the people who want to believe their anti-Trump, liberal BS don't trust them enough to depend on them for "news". https://www.foxnews.com/media/msnbc-...-first-quarter
It was even worse for MSNBC when it comes to the key news demographic of adults age 25-54, as Fox News grew 42 percent and CNN grew 27 percent, while MSNBC dropped by one percent – losing viewers during, arguably, the most newsworthy quarter in a decade.

Too much emphasis on this. Current tests only reveal active cases. What we need to know is how many have already had it and recovered, then study what were the conditions that allowed them to survive. If you test everybody today for active infection, it will be all different tomorrow with new cases. It will take years to sort it out. Tests right now are being held back for only those with symptoms and for medical and emergency people.

To get the country back to work, they need to test some complete population and figure out what the real transmission & mortality rates are. We can't sit around for years waiting.

I just feel terrible for those people. Their deaths were wasted. If they had only waited to die from Corona they could have died gloriously and been immortalized on the Daily Death Scoreboard, where our grief could be displayed in a far more grand fashion.
Some poor guy killed in a car accident driving around trying to find toilet paper for his family is meaningless.Living in the Freedom provided by Bud Conner and his fellow warriors.

04-02-2020, 09:40 AM #143Dr. Hans Kluge, the head of its European office, said recent statistics showed 30,098 deaths have been linked to COVID-19 across the continent, mostly in Italy, France and Spain.
“We know that over 95 percent of these deaths occurred in those older than 60 years,” he said, with more than half of the dead over 80.
Kluge added that more than 80 percent of those who died had at least one other chronic underlying condition like cardiovascular disease, hypertension or diabetes.Last edited by David - WI; 04-02-2020 at 06:35 PM.

I hear they are working on a test that will only require a drop of blood to see if you've had it.
As far as testing, where I live they have a drive up station where you can get tested. I understand it's open to anyone but don't know if they ask questions before they test you. Manned by the Sheriffs Dept. I imagine the conspiracy theorist around here are going bezerk over that.-----------------------

Up here our family all had colds, including the little guy. I couldn't find much information on whether the symptoms were the same for infants as adults. So I phoned into the helpline. 2 hours on hold. We went through all the checks and that, but I found it really funny, they pretty much want you to be half dead to do any testing. We had quite a few of the symptoms, plus some others, but they were totally uninterested unless we had been 1). Out of the country 2). Know for a FACT that we had been in contact with someone that was CONFIRMED to have the virus.
It just seemed really odd. I know they can only test so many people a day but how do you want to get in front of this if your only diagnosing and helping people that have the virus so bad that it's too late.
Anyways we stayed home and all is good.
Hope you all are staying safe too.

Not totally sure but I think most of the problems are in N.O. and southeast La. They just had Mardi Gras and that brings in people from all over the world. Mardi Gras season actually starts on Jan. 6. So you have tons of balls and parades until Fat Tuesday, the big day down in the French Quarter you always see on TV.
Where I live is approx. halfway between Houston,Tx. and New Orleans via I-10. So that might play a part and we are the Parish seat, which is the same as the County seat in every other state.Last edited by CDave; 04-02-2020 at 05:40 PM.

Yep, Marti Gras was a huge petri dish!!!
The 31rst we had 54 deaths, yesterday we had 34, today 37 for a total of 310. Most of it is down south.

It would be nice if they had the numbers of people that recovered.

I just found out today that I am an essential employee, we are on lockdown in Florida I am kind of happy as it is good job security, I feel so bad for my part time employees that we are not allowed to work for 30 days Since most of my full time staff will only be working 16 hours to receive a 40 hour paycheck.
