Not that anyone will take this seriously. At work (the pharmacy) we are pretty well telling everyone to use "Standard Precautions" for disease prevention. The issue from the healthcare side is that we believe that the virus has been present for sometime everywhere but it was initially thought "Oh it's just a bad flu season." The number of people that suddenly died of the flu or viral pneumonia related to the flu in my area is higher than average but not much higher than we would see during a bad flu season. However there is no way to find out if it was the flu or Covid at this point. The best thing anyone can do is just use common sense.A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

A top Ohio health official estimates that more than 100,000 people across the state are carrying the novel coronavirus.
Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton announced the number of presumed infected at a Thursday press conference, according to the Hill. The number is far above the roughly 1,300 confirmed cases in the United States reported by Thursday morning.
"We know now, just the fact of community spread, says that at least 1%, at the very least, 1% of our population is carrying this virus in Ohio today," Acton said. "We have 11.7 million people. So the math is over 100,000. So that just gives you a sense of how this virus spreads and is spreading quickly."
"Our delay in being able to test has delayed our understanding of the spread of this," Acton added.

There is absolutely no evidence that the early estimates are anywhere near that far off.Last edited by demi-conservative; 03-12-2020, 10:51 PM.Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

Quick question.
Without resorting to Google, does anyone know how many Americans have died as a result of the Coronavirus so far? And do you remember seeing any totals provided by the MSM?
Based on the stats in the OP, that's a CFR over 100 times that of the Spanish Flu.Last edited by NorrinRadd; 03-13-2020, 01:27 AM.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.

In my case, I doubt it was China Virus, because the symptom profile was much more like that of a bad case of flu. But I did not get any kind of "test," so I don't know for sure.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.
