Quarantine or not?

Trumps stated it could be as many as 100,000 deaths in the USA, let's hope that doesn't prove true.

Just watching the news and they say that the deaths in China might be a fake number, they suspect it could be x 10.

As morbid as it sounds, I've been watching the "death count" and how fast it's rising...USA is now in fourth place already, passing Iran and France which were supposed to be some of the worst hit areas....

USA is up to 2810 already in just a couple of weeks or so.....so I sure hope this social distancing starts to work pretty soon....

Canada is sitting at 70 or one in every 500K Canadians

The US is eighteen times as big as France & six times as big as Iran.... For now I think we're doing Ok... New York has the bulk of the cases and with their population density and welcoming of world travelers since this has begun it's not to surprising...

I know it's all relative to the size and population of the countries, but it seems to be moving very fast now...

We are in for a very difficult couple of weeks. With that said there were three pieces of good news today:

1) Abbott Labs quick test kit. This is huge.
2) FDA approved the malaria drug for use with Coronavirus
3). Johnson & Johnson committed 1B dollars time build factory to produce a vaccine. They are so confidant they will be successful with the vaccine they are preparing the factory now. Expect the vaccine to be shipping by Jan 2021.

One other good news I heard:

Washington state is showing a down turn in new cases reporting.

torredcuda · March 30, 2020, 07:09:27 PM

Models are saying if we didn't shut down like we are there could be 1.6-2.2 million deaths! We all need to take the stay at home/ social distancing very serious.

SF Bay Area quarrantin now continues to May 1st. This is going to hurt.

Virginia just announced lock down until June 10.
Short term pain will pay off.
We need to slow this thing down until they can get the treatments and vaccine out.

It is good to see Italy finally slowing down.

To think I used to hate grocery shopping for my wife and I. Now we're shopping for 3 other houses....Gotta be done but wow do I ever dread shopping now. People think I'm hoarding.

Guess I`ll cancel our April vacation plans to Virginia now.

June 10th seems a bit far out, I would think take it a 2-4 weeks at a time and see how things go.

I agree with the stay at home orders. Actually surprised it took New York and Florida so long.
As for Virginia, I don't know why you would just issue an order until the end of April, then reassess

The state responses are all over the board.

Compare Virginia and Florida.
