Prior to the current levels of testing many with symptoms could have been infected.  Around five weeks ago I had a strange illness.  Went into the office very early as usual within an hour began to have severe chills and body aches along with chest congestion and occasional cough.  Left for home a couple of hours later shivering in my winter coat.  Shaking and teeth chattering the whole drive home. Wife threw a couple of blankets on me left for work some time after 9am with me still shaking like a leaf.  Never checked my temp because I did not feel hot.

Woke up in the afternoon and the chills were gone but the body aches remained chest congestion remained.  Body aches were severe late that evening I was sure I would not be going into the office.  Woke up earlier than usual the next morning.  Body aches gone.  Still had the occasional cough and milder chest congestion.  Thought this has passed so went to the office and had a sudden cough at my desk that I caught with my hand.  Blood.  Again blood then just small dots.

Got an appointment at the doc.  They checked my temp there.  Normal.  Scheduled me for a CT scan and bloodwork. Nothing of consequence found in the phone convo but wanted me to come in at a later date to formally discuss.  Final reschedule never happened as shortly after this all went down.

Chest congestion lasted a several weeks.  Given my medical history if this happened today I might be in line for a test.

I'm sure she's just tired and misspeaking again....just like there were supposed to be 100k cases by the end of last week.

I think the official tally from John Hopkins has Ohio with 868 confirmed cases.

I think I heard her say that these would have been the numbers had we done nothing/worst case scenario. These official numbers are so far off though that IMO they shouldn't even be stated without a disclaimer saying the number of infected is much higher. We all know by now that many show mild/no symptoms at all and testing is still very limited.

That number up to a million Ohioans yet?

 

Absolute scare tactic she used from the start which lead to so many Ohians being so subservient to the shutdown.

 

With that said.......any yall get freaked when you sneeze or cough????

seems kind of fishy.  You had 39 million of these and you just happen to "find them".  Please.  End game looks to be "wait till the supply falls below demand and then make a bigger profit".

I liked this article: https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/17/a-fiasco-in-the-making-as-the-coronavirus-pandemic-takes-hold-we-are-making-decisions-without-reliable-data/.

I appreciate the use of numbers throughout. This is how I’ve been looking at it but a dumbed down version for me.

Yeah, the lack of more defined numbers is frustrating. I also like this Fivethirtyeight article about the wide range of cases and deaths

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/experts-say-the-coronavirus-outlook-has-worsened-but-the-trajectory-is-still-unclear/

I do like this Johns Hopkins map of total cases, deaths, and most importantly people recovered. 

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html

I think we are all hearing all these new cases and deaths. I think right now as a country, we are tracking like 1-2% mortality rate. That is pretty damn good all things considered. 

I would appreciate a total number breakdown as follows:

  • Total number of active cases 
  • Total number of hospital cases 
  • Total number of ICU cases 
  • Total deaths
  • Total number of hospital cases that have recovered 
  • Total number of ICU cases that have recovered 
  • All that data broken down into state and if possible county and city and how it changes over time. 

I think that breakdown, if possible, may be the case way we can understand how this going.

I saw an interactive map yesterday where you can zoom to the county level. I can't find it right now, but I'll post it later.

I want to know where exactly the fucking hotspots are in NYC. Assuming one is deep Queens, near the Elmhurst hospital. That place looks horrifying, Italy levels.

Just hearsay, but I heard yesterday that for every 1 confirmed positive, there are 35 more in NYC. THIRTY FIVE. I'd like to find the source of that also.

I get it somewhat. For example, my gf's former coworker lives 3 blocks away. His roommate has it, full on symptoms. He's self quarantining, was tested last week, still no results. Now the former coworker has it and dealing with awful symptoms. Pneumonia is on the way. So there's two unaccounted for. Numbers are definitely are a lot higher than we know.

Has anyone looked, compared, or know the differences between Covid-19 and H1N1? I've done some amateur stuff myself, but man...it's so similar and interesting comparisons.

The US didn't do anything like this for H1N1, it hit 60 million people and killed 12,000. It ended up killing 200,000 worldwide. Sure, death isn't good especially if it preventable. But, those numbers and potentially these numbers with Covid-19 aren't abnormal to what we've seen before.

But, there is so much data and numbers we'll NEVER know with Covid-19. It could have been around (and probably was) since November 1. That gives the virus 2 months before actually being labeled/diagnosed on December 31. There was undoubtedly a rash of infections in that time span in the US. Surely there were deaths that were chalked up as "flu." Just like what's happened before and will happen again. Exactly what that link above I posted stated -- viruses happen and they've been labeled whatever or "flu-like" for years.

I would like to know the stats on the analytics of age, gender, race, blood type, whether a flu shot was gotten......amongs other things on who got really sick, who showed no symptoms and who died.

I am betting that the "flu" shots are going to reward people in some fashion with help.  Just guessing

How do you mean?  Like those who got a flu shot are less susceptible to it somehow?

I doubt that, if only because this virus isn't a flu strain, but I might be misunderstanding what you mean.

Looks like it worked? Bill is now on Trump’s desk to sign.

This is the NYC Health Commissioner. This didn't age well.
