I'd analyze it more, but it's really as simple as that. The only "positive" is that deaths are set to spike this week, so the spiking numbers will change minds.

Unrelated note: getting a little alarmed at how much "is the cure worse than the disease" talk I'm hearing regarding what we're doing to the economy. A lot of poo poo like "flu kills a lot of people and we don't ruin the economy over it." type poo poo. And not just from CHUDS. If our social distancing started in time to avoid an Italy type situation (and I'm not sure that it did) expect this type of talk to get much louder and more annoying.

We got our first case the same day as South Korea. Italy is a best case scenario for parts of the USA right now.

I mean, there will be a point at which the damage to the economy will be shortening lifespans more than the virus but it's not 15 days.

Extremist groups encourage members to spread coronavirus to police, Jews: FBI alert

quote:

NEW YORK -- Extremist groups, including neo-Nazis and other white supremacist groups, have encouraged members to spread COVID-19 to police officers and Jews, according to an FBI report obtained by ABC News.

"Members of extremist groups are encouraging one another to spread the virus, if contracted, through bodily fluids and personal interactions," according to the alert issued by the FBI's New York office Thursday.

JHU updated their tracker which now shows US cases on the county level. It's pretty unsettling to see the degree to which this has spread beyond the big cities. Mississippi, the state whose governor just wants to pray the whole thing away despite being poor, mostly rural, and next to one of the major US outbreak centers, looks like it has the loving chicken pox.

You can also see hot spots developing in rural places - Colorado ski country, random counties in the middle of nowhere with 10+ cases (Blaine County, ID or Beadle County, SD as examples), and Navajo/Coconino counties in AZ (encompassing numerous Native American reservations).

Started watching Pandemic on Netflix the other night and seeing this makes me think of the first episode, where they focused on a rural hospital which only had a few rooms and a single doctor working multi-day shifts. This all feels very not good.
