US will hit 100k cases today - 3/27, and 200k by 3/31 or sooner, by my math.

They already did, sitting at 102k

Dude, relax. Yes, times are tough.  But we are young and strong.  We will get through this...Paragraphs are your friend, remember :)

Try to avoid this thread for a while(and play Nioh 2).

And I've been playing Days Gone for the last month, with remorse.

Probably notm its night time on the east coast and most states have reported their cases for the day by 6pm.

Some Wuhan residents who previously tested positive for coronavirus and then recovered are now testing positive for a second time.

Officials are trying to figure out what that means for diagnostic tools and efforts to stop the spread.https://t.co/Lc2QW2hiOQ

Issued By

Provincial Emergency Operations Centre

Bit late, a week after March break ended.

i have no clue how close it is now since they're not reporting where new cases are found anymore. Too many, I guess my town will alert us when people start testing positive here.

There is no information regarding gender, ages, locations or means of transmission for all of the new patients on the government's website. "Information for all cases today is pending," the website states.

Yaffe said that of the 993 cases in the province, data relating to transmission of COVID-19 is still missing in roughly 40 per cent of cases as public health units continue to report their findings. "Of those we know about, a third had travelled in the 14 days before becoming ill," she said.

"The most common source of exposure has been in the United States. The second most common source is Europe. Ten per cent of the cases had close contact with a confirmed case and 16 per cent had neither," which Yaffe says is evidence of community transmission.

Netflix time while the internet lasts :)

Oh, this explains (some of) the missing numbers in China

Under its newest COVID-19 prevention guidelines, China does not include in its overall daily count for total and for new cases those who retest positive after being released from medical care. China also does not include asymptomatic cases in case counts.

"I have no idea why the authorities choose not to count [asymptomatic] cases in the official case count. I am baffled," said one of the Wuhan doctors who had a second positive test after recovering.

And now China is closing its borders for foreigners to stop the virus from coming back in. It's nice no country actually closes their borders to stop the virus from going out....
