Look up your county and look at the data following implementation of social distancing recommendations/school shutdowns/etc.

They're (Kinsa) not tracking tests, they're tracking atypical fevers using their smart thermometers data points reported in their apps.

In almost every county I've looked at, there is a massive peak, then a plateau around mid-March, then a sharp decline starting about a couple of weeks ago when people started staying at home.

I mean, as soon as restrictions are lifted, cases will go up again.

Double down, people. This is no time to get complacent. This is the part of the story where we take this momentum and build on it.

Stay the fuck home!

Not in America, infections are doubling every 3-4 days. At this rate everyone will have it by the end of May. Then we will need to deal with the aftermath.

I said to my wife "lets stay safe and separate during this virus" she said Okay, that was during SARS. Just some warped levity for tonight so much bad news. Science tells us and I believe we inherently know that during this Pandemic we need to be anti-social and keep our distance. If the virus runs out of hosts we "WIN"!

Italy's day to day increases in cases/deaths by percentage were at this level on March 10th.

According to data being gathered by Kinsa’s smart thermometers, the social distancing rules might actually be starting to work!

wow, science works

It's almost like the public health officials knew what they were talking about...

I'm not sure what you're asking/doubting..

Logic suggests too

What is likely slowing, if any, the rate of infections, is that in environments where infection is most likely to occur (airports, airplanes, airplane lounges, airport lounges, cruise boats, cruise boat buses, cruise boat bus parking lots, cruise boat gangplanks, cruise boat taxis, cruise boat ticket offices), all of a sudden, people are not going there.

Also, Mardis Gras parades are not happening for a while.

And people are spending less time in apres ski in the Italian Alps and the Austrian Alps.

Common sense prevails.

I’ve been under stay at home orders for over 2 weeks. Texas here.

Don't want to speak for others but IMO that's what Bitcoin Cash supporters are saying for a while now

It's important to be decentralized enough!

Going to 1KB blocks because of "maximum decentralization" is moronic.

In this article, I want to suggest: maybe we should stop worrying so much about decentralization. I know this is possibly the least popular position I could take in crypto, but before you reach for your pitchfork, hear me out. I think by the end of this piece, you’ll understand where I’m coming from. (And hopefully elect not to make me a human sacrifice.)

SS: Fed officials have been on a tight-rope, as China remains on the brink of a major credit crisis, with it's banks and corporations heavily exposed in dollars. As firms across the globe have scrambled for liquid dollar funding over the last two odd weeks, the Fed has rolled out dollar swap lines to 14 central banks. These swap lines were earlier used in 2008 (albeit with a far smaller set of counterparties) - and have traditionally been vetted by State Department. It was because of this vetting that Russia's 2008 swap line application was denied (due to the Georgian War).

The Fed has announced this morning a workaround; central banks without swap lines will be able to post their US Treasury holdings as collateral, in exchange for short-term dollar loans. This "repo facility" has greater anonymity than a swap line arrangement, and counterparty banks are not made explicitly public. Notable candidates are Taiwan, and the People's Republic of China. Will this technical operation fly under the radar? Or will the nationalists catch wind?

Fucking wet markets. When will the world wake up and stop dealing with china. God damn it. We should never deal with the commies

hey you better watch out with that sort of talk around these parts.. how dare you say this virus originated in china have you not heard of the word.. racism?

Fuck china and there backwards ass country. Hopefully when this bullshit is done the global community has nothing to do with them. Completely sanction chinese goods and destroy their economy until they smarten up.

Animal markets back open for business, fucking pathetic.

Why is this posted in r/Canada?

If it were that easy to cause a pandemic, we would see them at a higher frequency than we actually see it. In ww2 the Japanese threatened to destroy key infrastructure using biological agents. The militaries of the world have had nearly a century to prepare for this contingency. This is a manufactured crisis.

SS: Speculation has been rampant since the beginning about the origin of the virus. Some said "bat eaters" others said "bio weapon"

This story is an interesting piece of the puzzle. It shows the lionization of a researcher who isolated thousands of viruses, including bat coronaviruses, very close to a bat meat market.

oh, and in before "Teh Moonies". From the volume, "Debate Tacticts for Scoundels: #32 If you can't argue with a fact, fall back and attack who said it."

There's already a nature paper about how they could have made the virus more deadly. This was probably part of research or just released as a warning. Still, that knowledge doesn't help with mitigating it

Are we against bioweapons? Isn't deterrence and mutually assured destruction still the best path to peace?

(In fact, consider that bioweapons do not depend on massive state-run mobilization to be created, like the atomic bomb did. Biohacker teams could create them - which means, decentralization of deterrents)

Chinese virus. Those bastards cooked up a lab.

I am not surprised.

Please read the source before sharing... That site feels more and more like loving to spread fake news. All the links it has in the text are internal and it has no external source to prove what it's claiming.

Any other source? The article you shared is conveniently showing sources from within itself.

It's a rabbit hole of self linking with no outside sources.

Its more likely they were simply researching coronaviruses, having had SARS and MERS in the last while and containment broke. While I dont trust China, Im not going to accuse anyone of making bioweapons unless theres genuine proof. Its far more likely to have been more innocent research and mistakes made followed up by the massive CCP coverup

Ironic, that journalists were calling out that US Senator who raised suspicious about the Chinese government lab. Now, if looks like there might be some credible evidence that the virus could have leaked from the Chinese government lab.

https://harvardtothebighouse.com/2020/01/31/logistical-and-technical-analysis-of-the-origins-of-the-wuhan-coronavirus-2019-ncov/

https://harvardtothebighouse.com/2020/03/19/china-owns-nature-magazines-ass-debunking-the-proximal-origin-of-sars-cov-2-claiming-covid-19-wasnt-from-a-lab/

The coronavirus strain now infecting hundreds of thousands of people globally mutated from bats believed to have infected animals and people at a wild animal market in Wuhan. The exact origin of the virus, however, remains a mystery.

That is a tragic lack of punctuation in that paragraph.

From what I understand it's actually fairly simple for experts to look at the virus and identify man made vs naturally evolved by looking at some kind of protein markers. Covid19 is just the result of some shitty wet market

It isn't built like any other bioweapon though.

I mean I suppose it might have been evaluated as one, but it is too contagious and not lethal enough to fit into any established bioweapon doctrine.

I would not be surprised at all. In fact I’d be surprised to learn that this was not intentional.

Can we stop spreading this conspiracy theory? It's well debunked where it came from. When you are mixing live wild caught animals and wild animal slaughtering in the same market crammed with people you've created a perfect petri dish for the type of cross-species virus as what occurred. China caused it with their bad society.

Viruses aren't bioweapons. They're indiscriminate and kill your own side just as bad as the enemy. You can't selectively target them to just your enemy like you can nerve gas or other nasty things. They don't make sense for a state-run lab to study for weapons purposes. Also if you're going to engineer something to kill the enemy, you don't want something that does nothing for most young people (soldiers/workers) and only affects old people (non-soldiers/non-workers) and you don't want it to have a week long or more incubation period you want something fast acting and lethal like ebola.

Not talking about Hong Kong anymore are we tinfoil

To me its just as bad either way. They either knowingly allow markets to operate selling live animals that pose serious disease risks (ie, bats, pangolins) or it was made in a research lab and accidentally released, which also would make sense based on the fact that the only level 4 biolab in China just so happens to be in Wuhan.

Apparently china had closed down wild meat markets in response to COVID-19 but i hear they are starting up again.

Reddit?

"On New Year’s Eve, Helen Branswell, a reporter at the science and medical news website Stat, was finishing an article about the development of an elusive Ebola vaccine when she got an inkling of her next big story.

“Hopefully this is nothing out of the ordinary,” she wrote on Twitter, adding a link to a report of an “unexplained pneumonia” in central China.

Two days later, she tweeted a South China Morning Post article about the outbreak and wrote, “Not liking the look of this.”

Stat published Ms. Branswell’s first article on the “growing cluster of unexplained pneumonia cases” on Jan. 4. There was some indication, she reported, of “a new virus, and perhaps even a new coronavirus.”

Stat, a digital publication in Boston founded in 2015, was early to a story that would dominate the news. In January, a month before the first confirmed case of unknown origin in the United States, the site published articles on the coronavirus’s ability to be spread by asymptomatic carriers; how it could test President Trump’s penchant for undermining established science; and the determination by experts that containing it “may not be feasible.”

“We have realized this was big and have thrown a lot of resources at it, in Stat terms,” Ms. Branswell said."

It would seem that currently, massive testing of HCQ is not without cost, because it could be depriving SLE and RA patients. But once production is ramped up, then it makes sense to at least try it as long as it doesn't make doctors rely on it in lieu or other treatments. As the sample size goes up, the answer will be clearer.

Article says nothing except that the FDA did what Trump told them to do despite there being no evidence that it works.

Administration listens to boss, news at 11.

“FDA issues emergency authorization of anti-malaria drug for coronavirus care WOMP WOMP”

That title implies that you think this is a game, with points to your side because trump claimed that this was the cure to COVID-19?

You’ll be surprised to know that not everyone s a tribal, malicious piece of shit like you.

Good for them, but also noooooooooo :(

lol can we just delete this post mods.

aka Trump forced the FDA to authorize it, despite there being zero scientific evidence for its real value

Looks like some people's hope there's no cost effective treatment for the Wuhanic Panic, China flu, are getting closer to being dashed.

Seems to be working at least minimally at our institution. I have no clue why everyone in here is freaking out about trying something new while simultaneously screeching at every opportunity that the end is nigh.

According to a New Orleans ER doctor the drug doesn't appear to work. He does say it's theoretically possible that it might work as a prophylactic.

https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/news-nation/get-this-to-every-doctor-you-know-direct-from-an-er-md

He mentions it under the brand name of "Plaquenil"....

"Plaquenil which has weak ACE2 blockade doesn't appear to be a savior of any kind in our patient population. Theoretically, it may have some prophylactic properties but so far it is difficult to see the benefit to our hospitalized patients, but we are using it and the studies will tell. With Plaquenil's potential QT prolongation and liver toxic effects (both particularly problematic in covid 19 patients), I am not longer selectively prescribing this medication as I stated on a previous post."

Trump won't let it go because he isn't capable of admitting he is wrong about something. Eventually what he'll do is say that "it helped many people" even if it is shown to have had no effect.

Interesting dilemma here. CDC/FDA got crucified in the media and court of public opinion for trying to control COVID testing in order to keep standards high, which came at the direct expense of speed. Now, it appears they are getting crucified for lowering strict standards for the sake of speed.

For anyone who isn't a troll, I'd like to also point out that just because the FDA approves something doesn't mean it works. The FDA approves dietary supplements, for example. FDA approval merely means that when taken properly, it isn't dangerous.

HHS accepts donations of medicine to Strategic National Stockpile as possible treatments for COVID-19 patients

FDA issues emergency use authorization for donated hydroxychloroquine sulfate, chloroquine phosphate

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today accepted 30 million doses of hydroxychloroquine sulfate donated by Sandoz, the Novartis generics and biosimilars division, and one million doses of chloroquine phosphate donated by Bayer Pharmaceuticals, for possible use in treating patients hospitalized with COVID-19 or for use in clinical trials. These and other companies may donate additional doses, and companies have ramped up production to provide additional supplies of the medication to the commercial market.

*yawn*

Hopefully saves lives, looking forward to it!

"Let's see how it works," Trump said at a press briefing on Sunday, referencing New York state's efforts. "It may. It may not."

That doesn't really sound like a game changer to me.

My grandma started treatment with this a few days ago. Doctors says it's helping a ton already! No bad side effects so far either.

Did you read the article? It's certainly a game changer for people who need the drug for lupus but can no longer get it thanks to spurious claims based on scant evidence.

"despite scant evidence."

"Let's see how it works," Trump said at a press briefing on Sunday, referencing New York state's efforts. "It may. It may not."

Career scientists have been skeptical of the effort, noting the lack of data on the drugs' efficacy for coronavirus care and worried that it would siphon medication away from patients who need it for other conditions, calling instead for the agency to pursue its usual clinical trials.

However, a growing number of lupus and arthritis patients have complained that they've been unable to full their prescriptions amid ongoing shortages, and reports have emerged that some physicians are hoarding the drug for themselves.

I would like to see who at FDA's [Medical Countermeasures Initiative] signed off on this EUA despite the total lack of scientific evidence that chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine are beneficial in the treatment of COVID-19," Luciana Borio, who served as FDA's acting chief scientist between 2015 and 2017. "EUA is supposed to be issued when the evidence indicates that benefits outweigh the risks."

Every quote that proves the leopards have eaten your face already, from the story you provided.

You're an idiot. This article says repeatedly that it hasn't been proven to work and this is basically a shot in the dark. People have already overdosed on this drug after orange boy's ill informed remarks. It's weird that you site this as a victory. Did you even read the article you posted?

I don't understand.

The article talks that no experts believe that it will work. Trump himself said it might not work.

What is the "leopard" here? All I'm feeling is sadness that the CDC is being politicized.

Documents from the FDA:

• 3/28/2020 FDA Letter of Authorization (outlines patient elibility and prescriber requirements)

• Hydroxychloroquine Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers

• Chloroquine Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers

Who qualifies:

Adults and adolescents who weigh 50 kg or more and are hospitalized with COVID-19 for whom a clinical trial is not available, or participation is not feasible.

Dosing:

The suggested dose under this EUA for hydroxychloroquine sulfate to treat adults and adolescents who weigh 50 kg or more and are hospitalized with COVID-19 for whom a clinical trial is not available or participation is not feasible, is 800 milligrams of hydroxychloroquine sulfate on the first day of treatment and then 400 milligrams daily for four to seven days of total treatment based on clinical evaluation.

The suggested dose under this EUA for chloroquine phosphate... is 1 gram of chloroquine phosphate on day one, followed by 500 milligrams daily for four to seven days of total treatment based on clinical evaluation.

Monitoring:

A baseline electrocardiogram should be obtained to assess for QT interval prolongation and other abnormalities... Monitor the electrocardiogram during treatment. Baseline evaluation of renal and hepatic function is recommended.

Who told the T_Dards about the sub?!

Reported as it does not feature leopards nor faces.

So the cheating cheeto cheetah got the FDA to sign off on this. Big deal.

Meanwhile in the rest of the world...

On March 4th I was sitting at my desk looking at the John Hopkins map and the number was below 75. I cannot fucking believe that was 3 weeks ago and we are going to be at 100k by sometime tomorrow.

Is there a place where I can get historical daily case data by state (or maybe even county)? I'd like to plot my local case growth compared to New York to get a better understanding of where we are on the exponential curve. Similar to the plots worldometer has for the entire country

Well according the CDC about 11,199 people died from flu in the US in 2019 , COV-19 says hold my beer.

I might be too high rn but imagine how wild the Black Plague must’ve been. Literally just everyone dying. I mean this is bad but... just imagine.

More testing means more known cases.

Perhaps we should start welding people into their homes

See y’all at Easter !

Well, this is a weird replacement for Olympics.

I’m so concerned for the US people. Sending love from New Zealand

The real number is probably an order or magnitude higher.

Confirmed. Who knows the real numbers.

The goal should be to keep the *deaths per population* statistic as low as possible. Reported cases have too many variables.

Pretty sad knowing what the situation is going to be when you look at Italy, Spain and France.

I really hope they handle it like Germany is doing.

We are reporting so many more cases than any other country every day. In just a week the US will be exponentially separated from the rest of the world in number of cases. Choo choo all aboard...

Virus is working 24/7, including weekends.

This is gonna be a disaster

USA! USA!! USA!!!

This is not going to over by Easter by any means. Trump said it would be, I doubt it because each state is on a different timetable of the virus. New York is way ahead and California too, I am in Arizona and ngl we are so fucked in this state.

So not close to zero?

The rate of new cases is crazy, sadly 100,000 cases will probably be reached by end of the weekend if not sooner.

But hey let's open the country up by Easter, SMH.

Esit: Just checked the count, my estimation was way too long. Might be 150,000 by the end of the weekend and 200,000+ by April.

This is both good and bad, good because it show we are testing a lot more then before. But bad because it's scary to think how long this was spreading unchecked before we actually started to test.

Stay inside and stay safe everyone!

A week ago, if you said that Italy wouldn't be the leader in cases at any point, you'd think that they suddenly managed to flatten the curve, but unfortunately, that isn't the reason.

The total number does not mean nearly as much aa the percentage of the population. Italy was far worse than China (in reported numbers at least). We are not yet to that point.

Sidenote: you can’t have high numbers if you don’t run as many tests.

How many people are in the hospital in US?

This one says it's 82,261 now https://coronavirus.1point3acres.com/

Overall cases surpass half a million too

What this Coinbase blog post forgets to mention about leverage is that Coinbase itself is the most leveraged of all.

Coinbase borrows enormous amounts of bitcoins and fiat from their users to carry out speculative shenanigans on the market. One day or the other, Coinbase will fail at their speculations and go bankrupt, taking with them all the coins and all the fiat from all their users.

How do we know that Coinbase is not insolvent already?

Where the hell is their Proof of Solvency?

They cannot keep pretending and make-believe that they still have all the users' coins and all the users' fiat.

I don't believe it.

Nobody should believe it.

That brought out a crowd. So many people so close together.
