When it really happens: SHTF...

Some weird information circulating around here concerning the danger of the corona virus. Not sure what to make of it. Supposedly the model everyone is basing their reactions on came from a group at the Imperial College of London which showed 500,000 deaths in the UK and 2.2 million dead in the US has been revised to 20,000 or fewer in the UK and that health systems are not likely to be overwhelmed. I would think Italy and Spain would dispute this just a bit.

In any case, Trump's team leader now seems to be supporting this revised theory. Meanwhile, articles are coming out wondering why Los Angeles has a much less severe problem than NYC. In the article it's staring them in the face but they refuse to accept that the delay and poor leadership in NY is the primary cause.

Nothing much changed here. Our county infected number rose to 21. What I find puzzling is that Pennsylvania's testing is showing the vast majority tested do not have it. This is puzzling because they aren't supposed to test unless you are showing symptoms. We have roughly 1600 cases and 16,000 have been tested and do not have it. 16 have died which is 1% of those that get it which is pretty high compared to the flu but again, we don't know how many have it but never get tested because they are not severely sick. So basically only 1 in 11 that have been tested with symptoms is coming back positive. I've not noticed anyone else actually reporting negative test results so don't know if this is significant or not. So what did those 16,000 have, the flu?
