It's going to be months to a year before testing becomes ubiquitous enough for the testing bias is a small enough factor to get a real idea of the true CFR.

oh definitely, it's just shocking how high it is given that it sounds like literally everyone in europe and america have caught it so far based on actual testing elsewhere

Michigan was always going to get turbofucked by this. Old, poor, uneducated state that only ever voted blue due to the auto unions. High rates of drug use, obesity, and poor health. Massive cultural split between urban and suburban areas, which especially blows because most of the hospitals in Metro Detroit are in the suburbs. Detroit proper has like two or three real hospitals to handle a population of about one million.

You're fine. Shut up. You're not "going crazy" from not going out to eat for two solid weeks. Poor you. Get back to me about social isolation when depression breaks your brain and you become unable to communicate or even cross your bedroom to sip from the water that's been on your dresser for the past three days.

I know it's sour grapes but something about that type of posting (and i mean on twitter mostly) really bugs me.

Earlier this week, a Tampa pastor was arrested after defying state and county emergency restrictions regarding the coronavirus pandemic, but now an executive order issued today from Gov. Ron DeSantis says attending church services in person is perfectly fine.

After weeks of criticism from lawmakers and the public, DeSantis finally announced an executive order calling for a statewide 30-day stay-at-home order to go into effect this Friday; the order limits movement only to essential businesses and essential activities.

The order, which you can read for yourself right here, also lists essential activities that are permitted during the 30-day period, and includes things like exercising, taking care of pets, assisting a loved one, and "religious services conducted in churches, synagogues and houses of worship."
