    Yeah, scary. 40,000 new cases in 3 days! It's escalating way faster than I imagined.

    Trump should visit a New York City hospital emergency room. He needs to see first hand what’s happening on the front lines of this war.

    Sure, he would be in the way, and he would probably make an ass out of himself. But, he needs to see what’s going on. I don’t think his favorite news channel is giving him the full picture. Sitting in the White House he’s somewhat removed from the heartache that’s happening right now in the hospitals.

    Part of that is just measuring more and basically trying to catch up.

    Yeah, and it made me crazy that we just kept letting all the international flights come on over for so long after we saw what was happening across the world. All in the name of greed and money over protecting us any way we could.

    that’s capital S Stupid right there. Against all advice from epidemiologists. But we’re all supposed to just trust his (yuge) gut.

    I heard an unsettling report that not only the amount of those infected is being greatly underreported but the amount of deaths. There are many who have died of respiratory failure but weren't tested either alive or post mortem so the cause of death isn't attributed to COVID-19.

    yup. Same in Europe. The question is how "greatly"?

    And another very serious question is what happens with these bodies?
    Don't tell me that they are allowed to be burried normally because of the COD?
    It sounds macabre yes..but they are very dangerous sources of contamination and should be handled under special guidelines.
