Should I start driving to work rather than Metro?

When you look at the Spanish Flu, you can pretty much figure out that no matter what people did, it would run the same course. Many died but more survived. However, the market crash that followed, affected everyone for a very long time.
Panic does horrible things to the whole country. For now this virus is way less damaging, deadly or harmful then a flu so no reason to panic. Goverments should freeze everything until it levels. Would you like to see the markets crash over 3000 deaths in 8 billion population? Or 17 US cases Plus 20 imported from the cruise? This is your money too.

The market already has stops in it. The government doesn’t need to stop the market to prevent a crash. There’s a reason the market is going down, that’s because sales are expected to decline if people aren’t going about their lives like normal. In fact, no only should the market not have the government slowing it down, the market needs to fall if business revenue falls. All businesses should not be locked in overvalued. You’d have a frozen stock market with bankrupt companies that have high share values.

Sales are going down because many companies, like Apple, had to close plants which means they will miss projections.

You’re acting like it’s all on the production side. China is a huge market. There is zero need to stop the market from falling. It should fall to match up with sales. It should not be locked in.

Ok I’m just repeating a short clip from CNBC. I never claimed to have a PhD from the London School of Economics.

Omg. We are doomed. He has cut budgets and decimated fed agencies, including some epidemic teams. And now this? He won’t even bother throwing paper towels at us.

I think I am SOL

I bought some of these recently :

I bought them because I have to wear them for some outdoor things during allergy season, and couldn’t find any locally.

From nearly a month ago: 3M ramping up mask production to 24/7 to meet demand.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/01/28/3m-ramps-up-production-of-masks-to-meet-coronavirus-demand.html

There were probably thinking of export plus some allowance for preppers here stocking up, creating a shortage.

Thank you for the suggestion but both Lowe's and Home Depot are sold out. I tried the Germantown Walmart per a PP's suggestion but they didn't have anything either.

Does anyone have any other thoughts or suggestions? Anything would be appreciated.

Hospitalized, not in ICU: 101

Hospitalized, in ICU: 27

Home isolation: 94

Dead: 7

Hospitalization is running 45%, which seems high, as does the ICU percentage.

Nearly 12% are in the ICU. Perhaps more tellingly as we do not know the true number of cases, over 20% of those who are hospitalized are in the ICU.

https://www.cnn.com/asia/live-news/coronavirus-outbreak-02-24-20-hnk-intl/index.html

229 out of how many tested? Who did they test? What is the criteria for hospitalizing? Criteria for ICU?

Regardless, 229 is a couple orders of magnitude off from being a valid sample size for Italy.

We can guess hospital beds are at a premium, so requirements to be hospitalized would not be light.

Don't think we have a good fix on the number tested, but Italy is testing a lot. Still, they are probably sticking to contacts of cases and those showing symptoms and may be missing many.

This information is a day old but it says as of yesterday thay did about 3000 tests. Probably double that today?

«Cases increased because tests increased»
For the new coronavirus, "thorough and capillary screening was performed. This is one of the reasons why the infections quickly emerged ». This was stated by Deputy Minister of Health, Pierpaolo Sieri, on Fb. «

So far, more than 3,000 swabs have been made since the onset of the Coronavirus emergency

. A high figure, demonstrating that the level of health screening implemented in our country is very thorough and widespread. Also for this reason, cases of contagion have emerged rapidly in Italy these days ».

Still stuck at 426 tested as of last night?? We'll be the joke of the world when we have multiple huge pneumonia death clusters all across the US but have to ship samples to Canada Europe or S. Korea to be tested and confirmed.

Who needs the CDC when Trump thinks they’re the deep state?

Someone shouldn’t be trying to drown the government in a bathtub for just such an impending crisis as this.
