Coronavirus (non political)

I wonder how many people have had the virus and didn't even know?

33 states and Washington D.C. have confirmed cases, two more today, and the death toll rising to 21 victims in the United States.

As the coronavirus gained a foothold in the United States, thousands of employees from Seattle to Silicon Valley were told to work from home. Public school districts in several states have shut down, universities are moving classes to online only, and even churches are limiting services or prayer meetings. A global health conference in Orlando, Florida, planned for Monday, which President Donald Trump was supposed to address, will no longer happen.

Off the California coast, another cruise ship with infected passengers is waiting for a place to dock. The State Department on Sunday advised Americans, especially those with underlying health conditions, not to travel on cruise ships.

As the coronavirus spread to two-thirds of the states, Americans began to grasp the magnitude of the threat facing them. The weekend’s case tally ballooned, veering toward nearly 600 cases and close to 20 deaths.

The head of the Port Authority — who has been visiting local airports — has the coronavirus, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday, as the state’s infection toll rose by 37, to 142 patients.

Cuomo said he himself “could have been in contact” with infected PA executive director Rick Cotton but hasn’t been tested because he’s an “improbable positive,” meaning he isn’t likely to have the virus.

The governor didn’t say how Cotton may have contracted the potentially deadly bug but noted that the executive director “has been at the airports, obviously, when many people were coming back with the virus.”

Cuomo specifically mentioned JFK Airport in Queens.

id say there its a good chance healthy folks have had it and thought it was a cold or mild case of flu especially if they got the flu shot.

The media's coverage and how they are handling this is once again a black eye on the industry. Also, shout out to the young white privilege elites with a degree on twitter/facebook who don't work in the health industry, claim they are into science/scientist or have entrepreneur as their occupation putting together "best guess maps of infection stats, mortality rate, total deaths" and spreading it far and wide...clearly fake news. it reminds me of the internet sleuths who compiling their own Mueller investigation....Where they had already found Trump guilty and worked backwards to connect the dots. brilliant folks in their own mind.

The way your Grandma rolls, she needs to worry more about STDs than Wutang Virus

Mean while from Oct 1, 2019 to Feb 29, 2020 there have been between 20,000 to 52,000 deaths from the flu.

Definitely agree!

Harvard University announced Tuesday that all classes will be suspended in person and moved online as a result of the coronavirus, following the lead of several other schools.

The Cambridge Ivy League school becomes the second major Massachusetts college to shift to remote teaching, after Amherst College on Monday told students not to return to campus when spring break ends, according to the Boston Globe.

Italy has extended its emergency coronavirus measures, which include travel restrictions and a ban on public gatherings, to the entire country.

On Monday, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte ordered people to stay home and seek permission for essential travel.

He said the measures were designed to protect the most vulnerable. "There is no more time," he said in a TV address.

Italy's coronavirus death toll jumped from 366 to 463 on Monday. It is the worst-hit country after China.

The number of confirmed infection also increased by 24% from Sunday, official figures showed.

Cases of the virus have been confirmed in all 20 Italian regions.

Eight states have declared a state of emergency after confirmed coronavirus cases rose to more than 560, and the outbreak has forced schools across the country to close.

Oregon became the latest to declare a state of emergency on Sunday. Governor Kate Brown made the decision when the number of coronavirus cases doubled to over 14 in the state.

It joined California, New York, Washington, Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, and Florida in declaring a state of emergency.
