Virginia data.
1% hospitalized.
2 deaths (you can go to press releases and find more details)



What isn’t in the numbers is the 4-6 weeks spent in ICU on a ventilator.

Italy didn’t have a President calling it a hoax. Italy didn’t have 40% of the population supporting the President in calling it a hoax. Too bad the virus could be limited to those who don’t believe it.

He set the ban on travel from China before any other country. Just think what the number would be otherwise. A large percentage of the deaths are directly related to one nursing home in Washington. Others are directly related to travel.

I have a question, though. There is now a case in Fairfax County that was a result of travel in Iran. I thought there had long been a ban from travel to Iran. How did this happen?
Several cases in Fairfax are directly related to a Nile cruise. This is Trump's fault?

Banning travel by foreign nationals who were recently in China was not a comprehensive solution. We should have ramped up staffing and resources to screen and quarantine travelers arriving from overseas, regardless of their nationality or ethnicity.

Italy did a much stricter travel ban three days before Trump did his. It was not effective at all. There is no data to support Trump's wild claim.

Bans are not the only thing they could have been doing. Why didn't they start mobilizing test kits?

It's hard to infer anything from the "rate". It reflects more of our rate of testing than of infection.

If anyone knows how to track hospital admissions for pneumonia, that would be a better indicator of what's going on.

We are still not at South Korea, or Germany's level in testing. It is very concerning the jump in cases. Our test positive rate is at 10 - 11% which is high.

This drug has shown positive results thus far.


Last time I looked, yesterday, the CDC was underreporting numbers compared to PBS and NYT. What does their site say now?

At this point, we should be over 2 million tests. Yes, any testing is better than no testing, but this should have started en masse in February.
