I apologize in advance for not knowing how to attach screenshots, but we went from 4,661 cases in the US on 3.16.20 to 9,077 just 48 hours later on 3.18.20. That spike is despite many people being turned away from testing.

As others have noted, I'm not sure cases is as important as the ratio of cases that become critical cases, and then critical cases to deaths.

We know we're gonna see a spike in numbers. At least, that seems very logical. ( But maybe by some miracle we won't see a huge spike outside of areas already hit hard)
These are dark times. I feel as though I'm going to lose loved ones around me, if not my own life. Maybe I'm overreacting, but today I'm thinking more clearly than I have for 2 weeks. All I want to do is stay home. I want to gather up my family and try to keep them all safe. Quit my job, whatever. (Though this is probably the worst thing we could possibly do) I feel so bad for those who have already lost loved ones. May they find peace and comfort. |

It’s breaking news that the Trump admin is preparing for this to last 18-24 months. That doesn’t mean they are expecting it to last 18-24 months, just preparing, just in case. Hospitals should be preparing and acting like they are going to be at capacity. It’s no longer some hypothetical drills. It’s break glass time. |

The nationwide number of people confirmed to have it is largely pointless. We are more spread out but we also haven’t been testing much and are just now increasing it. This thing has been here since late January. There are probably a good 100,00 current cases in total with varying levels of severity. The numbers “suggest” there’s a bunch of new infections in the last few days alone but it’s important to realize that’s definitely not the case. What matters more than reported cases is the ones going to the hospital, but even more so, the ones going to the same hospitals in the same region at the same time.

Yes it sucks. Yes, it can be scary. But guess what? People are fighting it. People are taking it seriously. You and your family will be OK. |
