For reference the first thread on Surly was started on Jan 22nd. 36 days in since then and how many deaths in the USA are to be attributed to Covid-19? It seems like that number is zero, right?
How many deaths do you predict will be attributed to Covid-19 in another 24(incubation period is up to that after it was thought to be 14 days IIRC) days from today in the USA?
I have no idea as I can only understand what has happened from what is reported in the news and opinion places like this.
I will say I am gruntled so far by the actual reported results in the USA at this point. Are there any mass hysteria videos on twitter from hospitals, or mini hysteria videos even, originating in the USA for USA cases? I haven't heard/seen of any at this snapshot in time. We should be seeing them soon, right?
Are people who had it from the other countries who were brought back to the USA dying yet?
USA, USA, USA medicine! Hopefully strong palliative care from early recognition, etc, reduces the impact here.
Dallas county pandemic/flu dude interviewed on DFW radio yesterday says they are monitoring and ready to act here locally if it shows up here. He mentioned strong flu reduction/reaction techniques reportedly will work well for the Covid-19 and they are ready as they can be.
