There have been 1,000 cases in America…
There will be more….
30 people have died….
Ah?…..America IS OVER 300 Million people….
Just a reminder….
The declaration came as the number of novel coronavirus cases surpassed 120,000 worldwide. In the United States, where more than 30 people have been killed by the coronavirus, the total number of cases has doubled in a matter of days, surpassing 1,000 late Tuesday….
The pressure on the NCAA and professional sports leagues to hold games without fans escalated Wednesday when the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases advised against large gatherings.
“We would recommend that there not be large crowds,” Anthony Fauci said during a congressional hearing. “If that means not having any people in the audience when the NBA plays, so be it. But as a public health official, anything that has large crowds is something that would give a risk to spread.”
On Tuesday, the Ivy League canceled its conference basketball tournaments, and two other conferences decided to hold their tournaments in mostly empty arenas.
Meanwhile, the NBA’s Golden State Warriors played in front of a crowd Tuesday night against recommendations from local government and health officials….
“The White House has ordered federal health officials to treat top-level coronavirus meetings as classified, an unusual step that has restricted information and hampered the U.S. government’s response to the contagion,” Reuters reports.
“The officials said that dozens of classified discussions about such topics as the scope of infections, quarantines and travel restrictions have been held since mid-January in a high-security meeting room at the Department of Health & Human Services, a key player in the fight against the coronavirus.”

Highest worry is people over 80…..
Nursing homes are not even allowing visitors anymore.
I have a quasi-relative who is an elderly man with dementia who was just put back in a nursing home and his family cannot even visit him now and it’s going to be very tough for him to understand why.
Generally speaking, it is remarkable how much this virus is increasingly starting to influence our every day lives, and is doing so far more than even the 9/11 attacks did in the short term.
After 9/11, you could feel people get less scared by the day. Now, it’s just increasing by the day.
As Dr Fauci,whom I’ve found to be one of the best “experts” in explaining this thing said today,
It’s going to get worse.
Most people want to regard it like the flu(see Doc James yesterday).A Real Doctor,Fauci, says it’s ten times more lethal.
I work with a lot of rural hospitals. In many many counties in this country you have one or two small hospitals with a total of 75-100 beds for a population of 15 or 20,000 people. Many of which are elderly.
I hope this doesn’t happen but it’s easy to see how even a 10 or 15% hospitalization rate will overrun these places.
Doc James repeated what Fauci and other experts have said….
The virus will spread but will peak and level off like ALL viruses…
The economy fallout will go on much longer then the viruses max periods…
Also ?
If organizations find out they can cope between online….
The real estate market will also get screwed…

Trump announces 30-day suspension of travel from Europe.
He addressed the coronavirus epidemic in a White House speech.
UPDATE
President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a suspension of all travel from Europe to the United States for the next 30 days in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
In a rare address from the Oval Office, Trump said the European Union had “failed to take the same precautions” as the U.S. had implemented to contain the coronavirus outbreak. The United Kingdom will not be included in the travel ban with the continent.
Trump also said he would “soon be taking an emergency action” to provide a financial cushion to small businesses and individuals hit by the coronavirus.

Now, Trump gives a big speech and at the exact same time, Tom Hanks announces he has Coronavirus.
