Did someone mention the big travel ban announced by Trump? 1 month? from Europe.

What's bad isn't just the spread of the disease, but the martial law that is resulting from it. I don't trust authorities' handling of it. At all.

Statistics are

94% Recovery
6% Death

Not sure about the 6% how old or young they were and if they had any medical conditions.

Only 5 here and no new cases for over a week now. Probably because we got a big wall around us and small population.

5 cases out of 4.7 million population, but Italy probably has a way higher population and Europe has open boarders.

Plus its summer there now. Your flu season will start soon. That's when Kiwi elderly will need to be careful.

A youngster like you would be in no real danger. Just be careful not to give it to a senior citizen if you catch it.

Its an inconvenience for most youngsters, but a nightmare for the elderly.

Statistics don't really work anyhow, I mean millions of people could have mild, light, even no symptoms and recover and it's just never been recorded, no one will know the real numbers. The death rate is possibly well under 1%, possibly 0.1%, they can only go on known cases so those statistics will always be higher.

It's true the elderly and people with some medical conditions need to be careful.

Every past year thousands of people have died from the flu and get hospitalised and no one seemed to care.

True. The young may get it, and never realize it because their symptoms are so mild. However, if they give it to an older person:

Today, Italy has 10,149 cases of the coronavirus. There are now simply too many patients for each one of them to receive adequate care. Doctors and nurses are unable to tend to everybody. They lack machines to ventilate all those gasping for air.

Italy's health care system is completely overwhelmed. Their hospitals are refusing to care for many older patients, and anyone with certain preexisting conditions. They are just told to go away.

But if Italy is in an impossible position, the obligation facing the United States is very clear: To arrest the crisis before the impossible becomes necessary.

They are trying very hard to keep what is happening in Italy out of other countries. China built field hospitals to treat thousands. The west doesn't have much manufacturing capability anymore, so field hospitals are not being built in the west. Sick people are just told to go away.

Yes, there are about 2,500 new cases reported in Italy today. Over 300 new cases in America today.

Now this is where what I've been saying gets scary...
12% of all cases are going to require hospitalization (what they classify as severe) with intubation and oxygen.
BUT if your hospitals are past capacity then the death rate increases because of a lack of hospital access.

Now today we heard that only 230+ died today.
From the website I linked to...I'll link again. It's not got any bias but it limits itself to official reports.

Thanks.

Yes,,, I see the total cases here at 12,500 and deaths at 859.
Let's see what they say this evening....last evening it was 8,000 confirmed cases.

It spread rapidly here due to the migration of those in the North trying to get away from it....so now it's all over.

I don't understand why there are so few cases there.

P.S.
10,000 new nurses are being hired....
You're right about the hospital situation.
They're trying to keep persons out of hospitals unless they really need it....can't breath? etc-

What's funny?
The govt always seems to have the money when it's necessary....and yet we're taxed to death over here.

It's not an article...it's an active website.

Congratulations. I took your advice today and invested in oil. (Topped off my tank.)

They found some chemicals that seem to help treat corona, but they want more tests to be sure.

My wife has been told to work from home until further notice.

They are finally starting to take is seriously. Now I feel better about what they are doing.

They have its genome ,they are experimenting on a vaccine

If I got corona where I live then billions of people would have it. I cannot really be more isolated, miles away from the closest town that's only small, out on the coast in the far north at the bottom of the world.
