You confusing spreading fast with slow spreading with no spreading. Summer hot and humid kills a lot of germs once outside host so they don't infect that many that fast. It gives people chance to manage this. |

Now that people know it has spread and will be testing this is going to be a daily headline for weeks since people will actively be tested now. Many many people lived with colds and viruses and “I think it’s flu but tested negative for flu” all winter and some almost certain unknowingly had this virus. |
Singapores response to the virus has been hard hitting, implemented early and thoroughly. Far different from any other country. You cannot say all the reason for less spread in Singapore was due to temperature. https://fortune.com/2020/02/28/singapore-coronavirus-contained-response/

This is the reason. The infected people died so quickly they didn’t have time to spread it. |
Pope Francis, rumored for days to have COVID-19 after shaking hands with multitudes of people at a public appearance, has tested negative for the virus.

The spread is EXPONENTIAL. Sorry for yelling, but we need to familiarize ourselves with the concept of exponential spreading. Please spend a few minutes googling that. It means it won't be increases "in the high eighties" every day, but it will move to hundreds then thousands every day, quickly, until we give up testing. |
Whoosh |
Uh. PP meant the temperature. Not the # of cases. |
**doh, sorry!!! |
The government should take action now like the hospitals are already full because that’s the only way to slow the spread of an exponentially growing contagion like this. They must act proactively and not reactively. Unfortunately they won’t do that and in a week or two some people won’t be able to get treatment and we will see preventable deaths. That’s the part that everyone needs to pay attention to, the fact that the death rate is much much much higher if critical patients cannot get oxygen. Wuhan has a 5% fatality rate. That would be devistatinf here. |
