Given that the virus "new case" rate in the U.S. is now the highest
in the world (as of March 26, 2020, 00:12 GMT) the question of
whether the restaurants go out of business because of a shutdown or
whether they go out of business because their customers catch the
virus is probably immaterial.



Sure of that?

We're a large nation so having a large number may not be a large rate
(as compared with, say, 60 million Italians).


Updated hourly:

You can look at cumulative confirmed cases globally and by nation, some
data broken down to the county level, as well as by daily increase. The
US's current daily increase is very steep- about 20% daily in the past
few days and accelerating as expected. Thus far we are not "flattening
the curve" significantly since many of those people were infected before
the advent of social distancing, etc. If the measures are successful,
they will start to show up visibly in the trend curves in another 1-2
weeks. By then we'll be at about 200,000 infected Americans at the
current rate. Hopefully the rate of infection slows soon!

Had Trump been more on the ball and willing to listen to people who are
actually competent, there might have been a more effective response
sooner. But like so many Republicans, he values money more than lives.

The good news for Americans thus far is that the case fatality rate in
the US seems to be about 1/3 that of the world at large. That may
change as folks get into what seems to tend to be the worst parts of the
illness (days 7-10). And mst hospitals are not yet overwhelmed in the
US, except I would imagine in New York and the northeastern seaboard
they are seeing that.

"Hair on fire" is Fox Newsspeak for anyone saying they don't think Trump
is the Greatest President in Human history, especially criticism based
on what Trump actually says instead of what he and his supporters
pretend he said. Covfefe! It was a perfect call! And you should
believe Vladimir over American intelligence professionals, he only has
our best interests at heart.

Expect the President and his Cabinet to do their jobs and save the lives
of Americans? What are you, a socialist? Save the money first, it
can't take care of itself unlike people.

Tell us all what the President is going to do against a disease. This ought to be interesting to listen to a moron run on about just how ignorant about the world around him he is.

Well, lets not get into a contest over who can urinate the furtherest
but I would point out that the Chinese have historically solved what
they perceive as anti-government problems with far less folderol than
going to the trouble and cost of developing a new disease.

Think Tibet, think Tiananmen Square , think Uighur Muslims.

Frank, the military biowarfare laboratory is in Wuhan. While I doubt that this came from there, there is always the possibility that it snuck out under the cover of someone's socks.


The Washington Times published, below a headline that states
"Coronavirus may have originated in lab linked to China's biowarfare
program", a retraction on 25 March 2020 stating:
"Editor's note (March 25, 2020): Since this story ran, scientists
outside of China have had a chance to study the SARS-CoV-2 virus. They
concluded it does not show signs of having been manufactured or
purposefully manipulated in a lab, though the exact origin remains
murky and experts debate whether it may have leaked from a Chinese lab
that was studying it.

Many public health professionals can tell you what the president

Or as I said to the neighbor who pre-echoed Andrew at least a week ago:
"It's not clear to me why China would wreck its economy to influence a
U.S. election." Or, as you say, make Hong Kong "behave."

It would be like killing the spider on the wall from fifteen feet away,
using a few shotgun blasts.
