Its terrifying how fast the numbers of infected are growing.

I'm watching the Johns Hopkins graph, and I can't believe what I am seeing.

1. Don't trust the local details of that graph. For Italy, all cases are in Rome, which is BS...

Louisiana deaths are 20 and have been since early today, yet it says 15. Then when you scroll down it says Louisiana has had three deaths.

Pretty piss poor for Johns Hopkins.

2. Well it may be that Rome does the reporting.

I don't expect JH to have local details on other countries.

4. If you click on the countries, you get country specific info. If you zoom in, you get very...

specific ARCGIS data points. Check it out and play around with it. It presents itself as a global map with precise data on locations. But the deaths in Italy have been in the north, not in Rome.

8. Looking at it again, you're right. They're only showing capitals for Europe...

For the US they're showing specific localities.

9. They just did that for the US within the last couple day

Before it only broken down by states in the US. I think the US and China are the only ones with it broken down below the level of country. Well, I think Canada has its provinces.

10. The site isn't the fastest to update, but the numbers usually add up.

3. Global Pandemic

The old and the infirm will be the very last to receive necessary care due to the lack of ventilators and protective materials available.

Today, dump sent a bunch of aid to Korea however.

How much more will the people take before this criminal kills off the lot of us, both old and young? Some have noted this discrepancy.

The con must be removed. A very dangerous evil is upon us all.

6. I just saw a flash of him throwing paper towels at people in Puerto Rico.

5. I saw young guys playing basketball tonight in the park.

All over each other.

7. The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.

Stupidity is boundless.

11. I haven't looked at the map in in awhile. I did tonight, that's

an awful lot of red.

12. Here's a link to another graph

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

It doesn't give localized numbers only countries.

Here's a link to the NYTimes map. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/world/coronavirus-maps.html?action=click&pgtype=Article&state=default&module=styln-coronavirus-markets&variant=show&region=TOP_BANNER&context=storyline_menu#us

13. Click on the US link on worldometers and you'll get state by state data.

Same for other countries with links (generally the ones with the most cases).

[GoneOffShore]

16. Thank you, I haven't explored that graph well enough.

I do wish that the breakdown on that map showed a bit more in terms of specific areas of countries.

14. One thing to ponder while looking at these statistics

The number of reliable testing kits is a tiny fraction of what is needed, and the waiting time for a definitive result if usually days.

I'm betting that over 70% of the population of Central and Southern Europe has come into contact with the virus (including yours truly) and would test positive if only we COULD get tested. I tried. The answer everywhere here in Germany that even could arrange a test is, "if you are not experiencing any severe symptoms, just stay home. We will not test you." I got back to Düsseldorf from Madrid 8 days ago, and have not been away since. In 6 more days, I will be deemed safe to.....stay here some more. The German government has issued a decree that, outside of immediate families, no more than two people may go out together at one time. I can't even get to France, Switzerland or Belgium, where much of my work is.

There is also a ticking time bomb on the EU's eastern border. There are millions of refugees in Syria and Turkey, living in squalor in over-crowded camps, hundreds/thousands of whom manage to cross into the EU every day. If they manage to get in without detection, and plenty do, no one knows who they are or where they are. ONE infection in one of those camps in Syria or Turkey will probably mean half a million undetected infections within less than a month--if it hasn't happened already.

15. the death rate seems holding steady at 4%. some were saying the death rate would lower

to nearer to the flu death rate as more were diagnosed. That hasnt happened yet

[robbedvoter]

17. The growth s in part because of the increased testing

At least in NY it's mostly the case. They were able to contain the New Rochelle hot spot. For NYC, they're gonna need a bigger boat. But the numbers are mostly identifying previously unreported/unknown cases.
