Corona Virus Updates Part 5

Here are the numbers that I came up with on Page 282 of part 4 on 3/9.

3/2 about 100 cases
3/5 about 200 cases
3/7 about 400 cases

Projected based on doubling every 3rd day:

3/9 about 800
3/11 or 12 about 1,600
3/14 or 15 about 3,200
3/17 or 18 about 6,400
3/20 or 21 about 12,800
3/23 or 24 about 25,600
3/26 or 27 about 51,200
3/29 or 30 about 102,400

The US is now (3/17) at 6,326 confirmed. Looks like we will easily break 6,400. It is actually ahead by about half a day. So doubling time is now at 3 days, maybe less.

I hate to say it, but if everything keeps happening as they have its only a matter of time before the warehouses get closed unless something occurs to help them stay open and safe.

Wisconsin schools are now closed indefinitely according to governor Evers. Originally he had closed them until April 6th but just changed that today.

If this isn't considered a COVID-19 update for the thread I apologize and mods please delete.

We got done talking about how Kansas just did this, so I think you're safe.

Are they closing or are they going to be going to online learning? Kansas is supposed to be heading for online learning.

I know it's a strange place to put that
Unless it was put up by mistake (but is true)
It's disturbing either way as it is a legitimate website and isn't something vague - it's pretty bloody specific

I would classify those jobs as essential type services. You cannot quarantine a population on an empty stomach and each household's 50+ cases of TP.

People went shopping for the wrong stuff, and they have to know that. So the warehouses and shippers have to stay going, and that will have to be taken into account.

The air traffic control tower at Midway airport in Chicago has been shut down after several air traffic controllers tested positive for coronavirus. Reports of flights getting cancelled

An airport is the last place you want to be right now

So "spanish flu" is ok but "chinese flu" isn't, got it. Makes sense.

IMHO, wondering about the origin of this virus at the present time is COMPLETE speculation, and with lives at stake everywhere, who really cares?

But, as speculated, if it came from a US lab, possibly smuggled to a Canadian lab, and then was either 'stolen' or bought by the CCP Chinese, and accidently let out of their own sloppy lab funded by Bill Gates, the WHO, and all the other globalists / cronies in Wuhan China, who cares 'where' it originated? We need to find and sentence to death ALL the chain of proliferators.

Hate to rage on ATS, and I may edit or delete this comment very shortly.... not sure it is rated PG13, and I am totally sure this is not a very 'professional' comment for me to be making.

Where are all the people who were saying the virus was doomporn and would fizzle out in a few weeks?

It’s funny I spend my time checking the numbers of the USA and what states have cases, especially mine. Well today I found out some wonderful news. My neighbor who is the main internet it guy for my local power and water and cable company, well he is under quarantine inside the house for Coronavirus .

His kids were outside when I went outside and they let it slip. You could tell they knew they weren’t supposed to say anything.

Our mailman goes to their mailbox before ours .

Stay safe out there people .

I'm sure you were lost long before then but at least you try to keep up. Bravo

I do find the hostile defence of Trump amusing. It's almost as if you are all whacko. I couldn't care less about Trump. Whoever has that position should be protecting their citizens, all of them. Even the ones who look Asian

The French (not the people) are just as bad, if not worse. Straight away they had some headline, something like the 'Yellow Peril". Oh but it all has to be about Trump to you! If you really can't see this is bigger than Trump, good luck to you.

But of course, I'm stupid. I'm just a scientist (well was, but once a scientist always a scientist). I have shared my knowledge of modelling and mathematics and general experience to help others gain a clearer idea of where this could go, good and bad and probable in order to prepare. I've also enjoyed the wealth of knowledge shared. I've also been a lecturer but I am not here to lecture, and I certainly don't have time for this nonsense.

I'm calling it a day here. The more I read here, the more I see good people treated badly, and poor examples of humanity shine through in all their murkiness. I'm not rooting for the virus or the other means about which this might cause destruction, but some of you are making that difficult.

Good luck to you all, and to humanity.

Ahh I wouldn’t let them get to you, it’s their aim after all. Only thing spreading faster than Covid-19 are the Necrotic posters in this thread. Engaging them is like brain bleach.

Covid-19 is far more important than their agenda’s. This thread has helped and will help many to prepare and stay safer. It seems to me that there is far more intelligence, information and accuracy here than in the possession of those making decisions for our countries. We should be applauding and appreciating ALL who contribute such information. Background noise is inevitable, but that’s all it is.

NC health dept over the weekend strongly suggested that people stay away from crowds at restaurants and bars. Since people didn't listen, the governor ordered them all closed today at 5PM.

Chinese Flu and Wuhan Virus only mattered when they become something the media and leftists could use to score political points with. Nevermind they freely used those terms themselves before some hapless Republicans did.

It has usually been the idea to name a disease after where it came from. You know like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever or Lyme Disease or the person who discovered it Alzhiemer's, but only know that the WHO decided to get all "sensitive" to things did they decide we cannot do that. Otherwise, yeah, it's Wuhan Virus or WuFlu or something.

This is a problem: people aren't listening. Pretty soon the whole country will be in lockdown because many citizens ignored the pleas to stop congregating and stay away from crowds.

This is true. Common sense and intelligence is missing virtues in many Americans these days. Hell some guy up north has sheriffs guarding his home because he would not self quarantine. He won’t be the last, and there will be others who will try to spread the virus on purpose.

I hear that New York's Governor Cuomo officially asked the US Army to come to his State and build additional hospitals quickly, even though very few New Yorkers are in the hospital.

Could he have contracted a virus that is affecting his mind which is not yet identified?
