Cloaca du jour 2,064 Posted March 18, 2020 Ohio up to 67 confirmed cases...up from 50. Good..hopefully Dewines lockdowns keep it in check Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted March 18, 2020 It is way up here in MA. The concern is that it is being under-reported because not enough people are being tested. They have announced 218 cases as of yesterday, but they think that there could be as many as 6,000 right now. The hospitals are reporting a much larger influx of positive patients, so we could be ready to have the bloom that Seattle has had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is that the number of cases is the big one as it can end up being bigger. Washington has far fewer new cases and far fewer new deaths. It is a marathon and not a sprint. Don't forget that the Falcons were up 28-3 at one point in the SB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What current restrictions have been put in place in MA and/or Boston? Inslee keeps clamping down out here. I can guarantee that if another governor comes up with a tighter restriction then he'll follow suit. Quite surprised he hasn't already ordered to "shelter in place" like the Bay Area has.

Bert 1,091 Posted March 18, 2020 2 deaths in Texas. 2 - a 77 year old and a 90 year old. The regular flu would most likely have also killed them and we never would have heard anything about it. Just like the other 20,000 that have died of the regular flu this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scoreboard, baby!!!! this is gonna turn into a blue vs red state. blue states have the bigger sh;thole dem run cities, but red states have more rednecks that don't give a fock. also liberals are typically scared poosays that are cowering in a corner of their moms basement. should be a battle. taking this to the betting thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is the same as what they are doing in the Bay Area. It just tells people to stay home if you aren't essential. They don't pull you over or ask for ID either.

jerryskids 5,192 Posted March 18, 2020 AZ at only 27, +7. with 0 deaths so far. We have a relatively low Asian population which may explain the low numbers, but with all of the old people I would expect some deaths. Hopefully it doesn't take over a retirement home/community.

naomi 343 Posted March 18, 2020 CA stats as of 4 hrs ago. My county has a "directive" to only go out if it's essential. And this probably goes without saying but I think lots of places are doing this nationwide, either purely volitionally, in respect of a directive, or in some cases with the force of law behind it. CA is really behind on testing, even in respect of the nationwide lag, so I think our actual numbers are much more intense than it looks at this juncture.
