[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stats from Washington State:

CTRY_ISO_N_	United States of America
ADM1_ISO_N	Washington
Confirmed	568
Recovered	0
Death	37

37 deaths. How many were attributed to nursing home outbreak?

The first patient with the virus came from Wuhan to Washington State in late January.[/quote]

Most. I think almost all of the 37 outside maybe 2-3 are from the nursing home and one other facility. The nursing home wasn't a retirement community or senior complex but a place for elderly and sick with chronic issues.

Outside the nursing home deaths the death levels are extremely low in the US. Even NYC hasn't seen deaths yet despite being several weeks now.

Two deaths in FL, 4(?) in CA, others in other states.  The majority are in several nursing homes in Washington but there are other deaths all around the country.[/quote]

Yes, but the numbers are still very low. Which is encouraging. The virus has the capacity to kill certain people very quickly but we're not seeing a lot of that. Yet. [/quote]

are you familiar with the concept of exponential growth?[/quote]
