Corona death rate in US worse than Iran's

[TreeFrogTrader]

Fingers crossed.

Data from Italy suggests an uncontrolled outbreak may be bending the curve at 4 weeks. This is good news for us in the US as we are in the middle of an uncontrolled outbreak ourselves.

The question will be, if these numbers prove out, how low will the infection rate get and how to maintain a manageable rate of infection.

Yeh, I saw some reports putting a dent in that a little by saying that Italy is losing ground on testing so that is what is causing the number of cases to flatten out.

I don't know though. That could be a factor but I think the death rate is flattening out a bit too. Can't remember. Even the death rate is tough one to interpret because you could have a reduction in new cases but still have a high death rate because the system is so overwhelmed now.

It will all sort itself out over the next few days. As I said, no good news will be overlooked though.

We are on arocketting path of infection rate right now and if we pull back the social distancing without massive testing and mitigation preparations available, America will turn into a horror show six times worse than Italy.

why is he pushing for congress to print more money while also asking to reopen so soon?

Hot spot is New York. Entire area needs to be locked down immediately before they infect the rest of the nation as they now irresponsibly begin to flee. National Guard if necessary. Needs to happen in next 12 hours before they kill thousands.

This situation in Italy is getting to be a tale of two cities.

There are the official numbers which show some leveling off or deceleration.

But then there are the reports from the front lines that are flat-out ugly.

Italian coronavirus deaths jump, dashing hopes that worst was over

Go get yourself tested instead of wetting your pants. Its embarrassing. You some kind of germ-phobe?

Also, inside the data is showing while the northern areas are seeing a 30% reduction in cases the southern areas are seeing a 10% increase. This could mean a lot of things but for us in America what we should be watching is regional hot spots and prevention in regions with low rates of infection.
