@Crimsonorblue22 yes. Ocean front property just outside Topeka. Amazing!

I fear Italy’s worst day so far will be one a number of countries will in the future wish they could limit their losses to.
Hate to be a downer, but that curve is going close to straight up and will for awhile until it starts to flatten out. I suspect for 12 to 18 months we will see ups and downs and wild swings as we realize that economic activity cannot stop entirely and as people get exposed in waves. I hope I am wrong, but I think people need to know the need to prepare for mre dufficulties than we could have ever imagined.
I would be more optimistic if they had a firm idea of whether anyone is immune after recovering. But with over 300,000 cases worldwide, they still do not seem to know because of the difficulty in knowing if people got ill a second time or just were declared recovered incorrectly. A vaccine depends on knowing that progression accurately.

I guess the 1st case of the Virus in Riley County is a K-State professor in Journalism. - Him and students took a trip to London and felt pretty ill after his return. - His wife said he has Bi-lateral Peunomia and is on Oxygen and is not getting better. - -Mercy

Yes. This won’t just go away. Like every other virus it will mutate. We need this period though to reduce infection rate. This has been around for longer than we thought too. My friend’s son was sick in September. Bad fever and cough for two weeks, had to get an inhaler. Drs had no real idea what to make of it but in hindsight it would seems to have been corona.
The best thing anyone can do is be clean. I got knocked on my ass by a virus in 2017 and have been a lot more serious since then. Got more active, lost weight, eating better and washing my hands a lot more. I was lazy about washing my hands but having to crawl set me straight.

Interesting article about vaccines they are trying to develop.
And apparently I was quite wrong about recovered people–the article talks about trying to use the antibodies from blood of recovered people as a vaccine for others.
The Atlantic has removed its paywall for coronavirus coverage, so follow the links to many excellent stories.

@BShark I do put a fair amount of blame on the Chinese government for this deal. They could’ve stopped anyone from leaving the country til it blew over. They probably wouldn’t have done anything had the doctor they likely killed not spoke up.

Mercy just check the Corona virus update site. I checked it for the 1st time of the day at like 10:25 a.m. this morning and we were at 27,125 cases this morning with total deaths at 3340 - - - -just three hours latter dam thing has exploded in a three hour time span we went from 27,125 cases to - - - 38,221 cases a jump of over 11,000 cases holy cats. - -went from 3340 deaths to 396 deaths mercy.
Also looks like Louisiana getting ready to become the 4th State to going into total shutdown, getting ready to announce is what came across just now.
Also looking like well now Ohio has ordered a total shutdown of the State.
I’m telling you soon the entire nation will be mandatory total shut down. - -States really starting to pick it up 7 now. - -New York , California , New Jersey , Illinois , Louisiana , Ohio – it’s coming

Yeah this is really bad! It’s both good and bad that it is minor for some people. Good that people can survive but bad because it means people were spreading it without knowing.
Louisiana is quickly becoming triage. Folks out during Mardi gras…

you think they have to , we have got to try and get a collar on this
-
They just said just now. - - New York as of 10:00 a.m. this morning they are at 9,654 confirmed cases – that is ONE THIRD of all total cases and have lost 63 people to the virus.
-
just came across my computer while sitting here now. - - All Kansas DMV 'S will be shut done starting tomorrow for 14 days, right now looking to come back on April 6th. – Some on line services will still be available
-
Read this case from Kc, really sucks! Get some freaking tests!
https://www.kansascity.com/news/coronavirus/article241408856.html
People that have been exposed but don’t have symptoms are getting tests, feel like this decent man could’ve had a chance! This is a
show!

Nigerians apparently aren’t as familiar with the need to listen skeptically to wild-ass claims as most Americans are, sadly.

Amazing how the “but the economy!” people seem to not understand that patients in hospitals, and dead people, do not add to GDP.
-
@mayjay The economy can recover, a bit harder to bring dead people back to life.

@BShark The Dems accomplished that in Cook County in 1960, rumor says.

well we are up to 126 cases in Kansas now - that’s up 28 cases from yesterday. We here in ( SN ) county got our first 3 confirmed cases today. 2 men and & 1 woman. - - The woman is the one of more concern , because she had no history of travel , with means the chances are increased of this being a community type thing -where the men had traveled right on the eve of our shut down yay
-
-
Pretty sad to see that we have become the leader in the Entire world for the amount of confirmed cases with this Corona Virus - - EVEN MORE then China had.
Last count was the Us now has 83,545 confirmed cases and 1,201 deaths. - thing is the WHO say people need to be ready for more outbreaks like what is currently going on in NY.
We area long ways from this being over dammit.

Yeah, I wouldn’t take the Chinese data that seriously. Chances are they had closer to a million cases than 100,000.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Same for the U.S., though.

Sort of. The US is at least trying to test everyone even though they were slow from the jump. The CCP made no effort at widespread testing, and refused to test any person who wasn’t ethnic Chinese.
-
@FarmerJayhawk no way are they trying to test everyone. People that are exposed are told to self quarantine at home because there are not enough tests here. People that have mild symptoms are not bothering standing in long lines.
-
@FarmerJayhawk the Chinese just have one region locked down right ? It seems we will have a pretty clear awareness soon if there is community spread because the other regions would blow up.
I’m still under the assumption it’s contained.

Certainly much more widespread testing than the Chinese, who systematically covered this whole thing up from the start. I don’t believe their numbers at all.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Did I mention here that millions dropped their cell phone plan? mAkEs YoU tHiNk
-
@BShark Yeah but how much of that is financial strain? Like an Uber driver might have 2 phones or if they drive lyft as well, maybe even 3. I’ve even read about certain drivers having multiple lines to drive up pricing somehow (don’t remember how that worked). But if I’m locked down, the first thing I would do would be to drop those extra phones that aren’t doing me any good anymore. Now, do I believe China’s numbers are “accurate,” of course not. But tbh no ones numbers are accurate as every country seems to have different criteria for getting tested. For a long time in the U.S. it was “displaying symptoms, AND known contact with someone who had tested positive.” That was still the case well into March but has changed now.
-
@benshawks08 I’m honestly not sure how China works financially with things like that.
-
@BShark Oh me neither. I just know I saw the same report you did about the phones and then another response questioning what that really shows. Made me stop and think…

Heard on the news. A 1st response commander said he had never seen 7,000 calls for EMS before in a day, he said that’s more then 911 - - and he said they had been getting those amounts of call for 7 days in a row now.
I hate to be the Debbie downer here BUT, my opinion, well actually more then just me but I don’t think we are any where close to getting a grip on this thing. I think this thing I think will drag out for months, - it’s just mass chaos , I mean this thing is now hitting our Military really hard , I think they said there are now 675 positive cases , You have these two Cruise line ships that are loaded with positive cases , have dead people on board and begging to be able to dock and yet have not been given permission to dock - - -we have just huge numbers of field hospitals there are other things in play too but just feel like they are a long ways from getting things under control sad to say.

Gov of Texas just shut down schools until May 4th. Don’t think that’ll be long enough.

Trump and his doctahzzz now projecting 100-200k deaths in the US by June.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah we are a bit slow down here. He did it this afternoon. Technically my district had only closed until April 13th so I guess this is an improvement?
-
@benshawks08 so you have been closed? Scared me!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 It was all left up to individual districts here until yesterday. Some districts were still open but pretty much all the big city districts had closed.
-
Here in SC, we are in the 20% of Americans not subject to a stay-home order. But we both have some vulnerabilities in case we get infected so we stay home anyway except for walks. Gov closed all nonessential businesses yesterday.
