So looking at worldometer this morning, Texas has 5 deaths and 4 recovered. Seems like the recovered are headed the right way.

Worldwide it is

11,885 deaths

93,586 recovered

Of course the world numbers include Lying China.

12.7% mortality rate overall?

Which hospitals are filled? All of them?

Coronavirus in N.Y.: ‘Deluge’ of Cases Begins Hitting Hospitals - The New York Times

I’m in central jersey. My neighbor is an ER doc. She said IC is at capacity and they are trying to figure out how to handle the next few days.

Oh, OK. I don’t live there. I just had an appointment at mine. Wife is still scheduled for an elective surgery next week.

How so? No stopping flights earlier? Why is America to blame for a worldwide crisis that started in China?

Who said we’re to blame for the virus?

What we are to blame for is our slow repose and month spent downplaying instead of preparing.

Why didn’t we have the COVID team assembled in FEb? Why are we still struggling with supplies?

This was all predicted. But we ignored it.

There is direct air traffic route from Wuhan and NYC.

January 31st Trump put the ban on people coming in from China.

When would YOU have put in the travel ban? When would Hillary have put it in place? When would have Biden?

And the left called him racist for doing so.

Biden bitterly ripped into Trump for putting in the travel ban when he did.

Called him a xenophobe and said it was not needed i do believe.

Now they are trying to rip him for not doing it even sooner. Left land tries to have it both ways.

And hysteria and fear mongering.

That too.

@tnt

We are up to 20,000 confirmed cases.

I posted 21k according to the article

Now if they are confirming 5k per day. by tomorrow that number should be 31k

Didn’t Trump put Pence in charge of our Coronavirus preparations?

What is Pence doing?

Seems like he should be the one answering the questions instead of Trump.

Strangely competent Mike Pence finds his 9/11 moment in coronavirus crisis

@WuWei

Worldwide it is

11,885 deaths

93,586 recovered

Yup and the media focuses on the 11k deaths not the 93k recovery

Oh, OK. I don’t live there. I just had an appointment at mine. Wife is still scheduled for an elective surgery next week.

I am in long term treatment for an issue. I see a specialist every 6 months. Supposed to be down At Penn next week. They cancelled my appointment and pushed it 3 months and might push it again.

Squeeze in everything you can now - what we’re living is coming to every part of the US.

Calm down.

@AlexMcAlpine

Who has said America is to blame for a world-wide crisis?

The person I replied to said Trump is partially responsible for the crisis. Wahun Virus is a world wide crisis.

So I’m asking them how he’s responsible world-wide.

[Camp]

We could see some of that on top of the outbreak.

What is Pence doing?

Kicking China Virus ass.

[tnt]

sorry - thought you posted 12K. Must have misread.

[Snow96]

You said you live in Jersey

But posting an article about New York?

[tnt]

@SixFoot

Calm down.

What region do you live in?

Why do you think you are immune?

[SixFoot]

@tnt

What region do you live in?

An infected one.

That’s not the sign of a virus about to go hog wild or one that (in one claim I heard) seems ready to infect 60% of the world’s population.

Well thank goodness you’re here to set the medical community straight. Now I can go back to work and my city won’t be on lockdown limited to “life sustaining” businesses.

Libs here agree with that statement though. Right, @JayJay?

I said we don’t know.

Our current data set is biased.

Oh, OK. For some reason, I thought you said, “That’s not the sign of a virus about to go hog wild or one that (in one claim I heard) seems ready to infect 60% of the world’s population.”

Just making sure, I wouldn’t want @TommyLucchese biting your head off for saying the same thing.

No I may very well have said that…back in mid-January.

However as I said I didn’t realize at the time we were sitting on our hands doing nothing.

The risk factors are dependent upon age and pre-existing conditions. No one is immune, but most have very little to worry about.
