I’m looking at the CDC website updated at at 12. Cases in the US by date of illness onset: yesterday 1
Today 0

Almost 250 were announced yesterday, up to almost 50 already today. Chances are the website aint working.

@DMK

But it is good to see where our faults lie in readiness and outsourcing.

Only if we address them.

Not working? Where are you getting those numbers?

Glitch or inaccurate. You’re over 1400 cases and 40 dead now, no?

I was reading were an influenza scientist from a MIT or Yale was saying every person should be quarantined in their house for 14-21 days, no stepping outside after which the coronavirus would be much easy to contain. Sounds draconic but also sounds like something that might be asked of us. Maybe

Easier said than done.

Currently I have enough supplies to get through 21 days, but my guess is, way more people do not than do.

Hm, might have been wrong on that one or there’s more recent numbers out there. There was almost 250 new cases yesterday though.

Thanks I am prescribing myself no more scary movies for the next week.

It’s just the flu, bro.

Positives or illness onset?

@WuWei

Positives. CDC numbers don’t include cases where they can’t verify date of onset.

NYT? The CDC has a website.

Positives.

Different metric.

[MoleUK]

@WuWei

Different metric.

Yes. CDC doesn’t list date of onset for those it can’t nail down. Not sure it’s too useful a metric in that case.

For that matter, CDC is openly saying to trust state numbers over CDC numbers.

Pence said that the CDC’s figures weren’t wrong; they were just not complete.

Even house R’s are starting to get frustrated. Can’t get a definitive answer on much.

Ok…

Apparently awaiting development of some it package. A simple excel spreadsheet could have been put in place in about 5 minutes as an interim measure.

Well there is your problem…posting info from NYT. And no that isn’t meant to be political.

It’s a CDC chart. Not listed on the main CDC website though and I didn’t want to dig for it.

Tried copy pasting the .img but to no avail, as I had the suspicion some would eyeroll over NYT for zero reason .
