4/2 US-Italy and others:

It's odd what has become the new normal.  News cases and deaths for the US, Italy, France, Spain and others...all the new normal.  

Brazil is emerging as a place to watch. 3 days in a row with high new cases totals.  All near the same level suggesting it is being capped by testing capacity.  Deaths doubled from the previous day.

Brazil is in deep trouble because their response is even worse then the US's. Bolsonaro is still denying the problem and pushing for everyone to act as normal.

How the hell is Africa gonna deal with this? Are they trying to just let 60-80%+ get infectioned?

theres 1,3 billion people in africa.

This is not gonna end well.
in europe and america, we talk about probably haveing half as many ventilators, as we would like, dureing a controlled shutdown, and a "flattened" curve.

In Africa, they likely wont be able to flatten the curve... and ventilators? jeez.
