So here is the count for those trucks sent to NY

NY Post: FEMA sending 85 refrigerated trucks to New York City for COVID-19 bodies



They also sent





There is also word that inmates could be used for labor to dig graves.

Third world country, is what comes to mind when I read this. Holy shit. And when I read inmates are digging graves... wtf is this, the industrial revolution or a return to slavery days?! We have machinery for this, you know. I'm just gonna chalk that up to fake news... I hope I'm right...

NY Gov already has them making sanitizer. Whats a few more holes in the ground.

The Washington Post: Inmates are manufacturing hand sanitizer to help fight coronavirus. But will they be allowed to use it?

There are being paid tho.

Sanitizer = 65c hr
Grave = $6 hr + Mask

 

[Flanker]

China was under reporting because they weren't counting asymptomatic people that tested positive (they said they're going to fix this in the coming week).

Aaah! So that's why there is a new column for asymptomatic cases in Chinese news apps. It popped up a couple of days ago.

Well at least the sanitizer isn't a guarantee for mental problems later down the line. Digging graves however... Not the best cocktail for people already past normal behaviour. Now imagine those returning to society.

When you're locked down in a cell for a few years, anything else will look good to you. Outdoor community work is offered only to those with the best behavior.

 

[Tatty_Two]

They just suggest it for people who have no masks but for some reason who need to leave their home. If two layer cotton does provide some kind of protection why not use it, but yeah unlike you all I'm not Nobel laureate so what do I know.

None of us are as far as I can tell, which is why we sometimes listen to those that are and those others that are qualified to talk about it, and most of them have determined that since air, condensation and therefore droplets can easily pass out of the side of the things and through the fibres in most of them that they do not in any way prevent infection, if the so called experts are proven to be wrong then I can only apologise on their behalf.

Chest pain can be caused by a muscle strain, slipped disc, dislocated shoulder, high blood pressure, lung stress from smoking, and for no reason because of previous heart attacks.

As her husband, I'm very familiar with all of the things associated with conditions masking as chest pain or actual heart failure condition....been living it, and not going to get any more personal than that . Aside from that, it was only offered up as an insight to show that lots of people have major things going on in their lives, and that while anger and worry are understandable, t's not an excuse for poor behavior.

I might be catching coronavirus this Sunday night. Got an MRI appointment in a public hospital.

Meh, I wouldn't worry too much about that. I had an MRI last week and been in several other docs this week. Although our hospitals are keeping Covid patients in only 2 out of the 5 hospitals around here but we have less than 100 cases here in our county. Known anyway.

There are COVID-19 patients in that hospital. I considered postponing the appointment, but it seems the spread is just getting worse.

Portugal's numbers have been updated:

Other info:

Our parliament has approved renewing emergency state for another 15 days: it will be formally announced later today by our President. Dunno if there will be any changes from the prior 15 days of emergency state.

~2,700 new on ~5.5K tested...

 

[rtwjunkie]

I’m not sure what it means. They are only testing people with serious symptoms, and any healthcare or first responder with any symptoms. To me it sounds like their doctors are pretty good at deciding someone is likely infected before referring for testing. At least that’s my positive take on it.

Governor Edwards says a testing logjam has broken through the last few days, so it looks worse than it is. He points to hospitalization and death rates being better indicators, with hospitalization "only" up 10% each of the last 2 days.

Louisiana sees 42% increase in coronavirus cases; John Bel Edwards points to testing 'logjam'

Louisiana confirmed a massive number of new coronavirus cases Thursday – 2,726, bringing the total statewide above 9,100 – as officials discovered a surge of new cases from previous days

[EarthDog]

Me either. that percentage will vary dramatically depending as we talked about previously. I was simply pointing out the trend of increasing cases while the amount of tests there is stable(ish - over the last couple of days we discussed this).

EIDT: Yep... log jam.... I posted yesterady how one company out of NJ was back logged 160,000 tests a week ago... I assume that is happening in most testing facilities.

Thanks: edited your info in my post.

Just a reminder (because I'm getting quite a few) that this thread was opened to discuss maps for tracking COVID-19. In that, we can also digress to numbers, statistics and other such related info. While a lot of posts are on topic, the thread is veering toward a trend of being off-topic. I want to place this here, so I can refer you back to it. If an LQ is put on a post, it doesn't mean your post was crap. It just might mean it wasn't strictly on-topic, as the forum guidelines request you to be. So, from now on in (after this note) I'll pretty much LQ anything that isnt a stat, map or discussion on the actual spread and it's possible projections. As had been said many times, there is a lounge thread for general COVID-19 chat and I've been asked to keep this one on track.

I thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Update from Denmark. We now have 3388 infected people. 153 are in critical need of respirator while 123 people has sadly lost there life to COVID-19 and 1089 are declared recovered. So there are 2174 active cases.

And a little good news, critical cases has now going down for two days now and it seems that government has managed to get virus under control. Not totally in control, but so much that if this rate keeps going on or lower. Government will try to slowly reduce restrictions of the lock down after Easter. So I cross my fingers this can be true. But it will still take weeks if not months before the country will be fully locked up.

And as a last thing, OMG the unemployment numbers from USA are skyrocketing

Do you guys have nationwide shelter-in-place or lock down? Any law enforcement patrolling or telling people to stay home? Oh and if you do when did it start?

 

[Tomgang]

Do you guys have nationwide shelter-in-place or lock down? Any law enforcement patrolling or telling people to stay home? Oh and if you do when did it start?

We are in a half lock down. Meaning no more than max 10 people together is alowed in and out side. But we are freely to move outside as long we all keep distance to one another and not gadering in more than 10 people. But all none important stores and enjoyment are all closed down like fitness and restaurants.

There are police patrol, but only to make sure people don't brake the rules out and inside. They are not there to keep us inside under force. Government do recommend all to stay home and most of the danish people are freely doing so, hence why we can do away with a half lock down. There are off cause all ways a few law breakers. Under covid-19 tickets has been raised so that it is very expensive to brake the rules like not keeping distance or gathering more than 10 people.

Lock down whas started on March 11th. Besides government whas a bit to slow to react before Making lock down and close borders. I will say danish government has been doing a great job. They have very fast put out help package for companies and help to people like myself losing jobs by prolonging we can get money from government while with out a job and frankly been very hornest about the situation both about the good and bad things.
