I don't know if it has to do with numbers being off bc it was Sunday or something but yesterday's numbers in NJ didn't go up as much as Saturday's. That's good?
I mean...
One government acting shitty doesn't excuse others of also acting shitty.
Gotta love world leaders that dont take things seriously and then it bites them in the ass.
Bad news about USA? 100% believe it without question and blindly pedal it online. We are the WORST.
Bad news about another country? It's prob not true, or, hey just focus on USA.
People are insufferable. It's also incredible people still proceed to take and report half baked "studies", anonymous quotes, or just blatant nonsensical journalist speculation/propaganda as fact (left, right, center, apolitical, everyone does it to affirm their own bias).
Back in my day, when I had to walk three miles through eight foot deep snow to and from school, uphill both ways, journalism was a relatively prestigious career that was viable for a number of folks both in video and print media. The folks with bylines and television appearances tended to be older and had long since learned to tread carefully with stories and sources. In reading a bunch of my local coverage of the coronavirus issues, the pictures of the writers look like a bunch of 20 somethings, typically looking more towards 20 than 30, and the digital age has seemingly killed journalism as a viable career outside the television arena. I don't doubt if my suspicions are correct that the need to compete for clicks and the relative youth of the reporters might combine for a bad result at times of great stress. Now, I have no illusions that various governments won't act selfishly if they see the need and especially if that sort of action will quell criticism from their constituents.

Yes. The fact the number hasn't grown much is good.

Coronavirus fact check: Could your December cough have been COVID-19?
Very interesting article...seems like this has been going on since November
Everyone understands infection rates are leading indicators, right?
Everyone, including the president, has said this week and next week will be brutal in terms of deaths. Terrible obviously, but hoping for the best and a continued stagnation of infection #s (followed by a consistent drop).
I believe 100% it was cycling the world late last year.
Did I have it? I’m not sure but I did get sick with the symptoms of Covid19 and for the first time in 20 years told my boss that I wasn’t coming into work. I ended up working from home and sleeping most of the time. Whatever it was kicked my butt and I actually went to the Dr twice in 2 weeks (which is not like me) and tested negative for the flu. My wife a few weeks later ended up missing almost 2 weeks of work with the worst cough I have ever heard. It kept her up in the middle of the night because of even then still coughing.
To top it all off, the week before Christmas my mother goes into the hospital with shortness of breath, a fever and a bad cough. They ran the gambit of tests and they couldn’t figure out what she had. After 2 or 3 days she ended up being put on a respirator and couldn’t breath without it. Anyone in the room had to wear a mask and “not touch the patient”. We honestly thought we lost her but by some miracle she was able to come off the respirator after 5 or so days in the CCU. They never were able to diagnose what she had. I have no doubt now that she was an early case of this virus.
