That’s long before anyone really thought it was here. And way before testing. Heck, we still aren’t testing.

So why don’t people believe it’s been here since then and has been spreading?

I think all the people presenting with flu symptoms who are testing negative for flu likely have or had corona. I know so many adults and kids who have been ill with flu symptoms but tested negative.

Another thread commented it's amazing that with all the big American chinatowns and Chinese American communities and close ties, both family and business, to China, its amazing we haven't had any positive cases pop up in the US chinatowns, either in NYC or Los Angeles. Those are huge communities. Wuhan didn't go into lockdown for a while and the virus is supposed to spread so easily.

I'm fully confident it's been around the US for longer than thought. Which is very encouraging in it's own way.

Excellent point.

Depends. Government officials arguing, yes?

Massive increase in people seeking medical care. No. 25 out of 37 American deaths are still just from one nursing home in Seattle that was first hit back in January.

There's always not yet, of course. The next ten days to two weeks will tell us everything.

They said no one could have foreseen the need for testing.

Don’t worry everyone on DCUM says it’s just hysterics from people with mental problems and it’s just a cold.

It clearly says the data from 3/7 to 3/10 are pending.

"There is no doubt that Italy is confronting a significant outbreak. But beneath the political squabbling is a deeper dispute over whether Lombardy’s response has made the problem appear worse than it is. With coronavirus spreading more widely, political leaders across the world are coming under greater pressure, with many trying to tamp down anxiety that is damaging stock markets, tourism and businesses."

Did y'all know that we can make our own masks here but there's a law in place that we can't use them in healthcare for China's benefit?

Josh Hawley, Missouri Senator, has put in a bill to change that immediately. There's also a bill in the house. WH cannot do by executive order - Congress must pass it.

I listened to this podcast a couple of days ago. The woman indicated she believed (based on math) France and Germany were two weeks behind Italy and we were two weeks behind them. This seems accurate.
