1. So how many un-confirmed cases are out there

infecting others without realizing it? I ask because many get mild symptoms and don't need to go to doctor or hospital.

3. They say "one' in Wisconsin...at UW Hospital

UW Hospital is located in the middle of a big ten university with over 40,000 students. About a tenth to a quarter of which are international, and all came back to campus in January.

"One".

Nope.

I don't even know if they can test anyone here yet.

4. Someone here in town just tweeted that there are actually 9 confirmed cases at UW Hospital

And over 70 under observation.

I think hospitals need to start talking to each other directly.

2. Significantly different than this map

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-us-cases.html

Which includes 2 cases in SC, 22 in Texas, 14 in NE, 99 in CA. (And 21 dead - 18 in WA, 1 in CA, and 2 in FL)

Worldometers.info has 484 confirmed cases; Johns Hopkins has 497.

5. and it doubles how often?

or as we speak ...
🤔

✌🏼

6. since march 2 (when there were 88 cases in the US), it's been doubling every 2.24 days

In February, case count was doubling every 7.75 days.

[Ms. Toad]

8. That matches my calculations based on daily growth of 1.37

Almost exactly (1.37^2.24 = 2.02)

9. Over 500 now....CNN - Coronavirus cases rise to more than 500 in the US

10. I think the U.S. doesn't really know

We don't have the testing equipment to find out.
I suspect if we did, our numbers would be higher.

And I suspect Trump doesn't want us to know 'cause it'd make him look bad.
