Italians are also gay.

People on avg. are much older in Italy, esp. in the northern regions where it rages.

That's true but we have enough kits in the bay area now and the cases haven't increased much lately though there are a a few here and there daily. I'd say by now easily 25%-50% of workers in the bay area are workng from home.
mell saysSunnyvaleCA saysmell saysThe US population is over 5 x larger than Italy's.That's where exponential growth greatly levels the playing field. From day 8 to day 12 (4 days), Italy reported 3x the total infected according to the chart. That's a daily exponential growth rate of antilog(log(3)/4) = 1.316x . So, it'll only take on log(5) / log(1.316) days for the US to grow to 5x larger number of infect. That's 5.86 days.
True but the US hasn't had any growth beyond 25% in the past days, many of those are likely early infections finally showing up in the stats. The quarantines and shutdowns were just enacted a couple day ago, so there's a bit of a lag, so 25% growth is not much compared to Italy's 3x during the ramp up. Also th...

Age matters, but I think the distribution of fatties and smokers is probably most relevant. US is probably fatter, but my guess is that Italy has a higher percentage of smokers, which makes a respiratory illness more dangerous to Italy.
Good excuse for you smokers out there to quit. As a former smoker I can tell you the quality of life on the non-smoking side is much better.

Yes but 99 percent of the US is absent Chinese tourists. That's not the case with Italy. Apparently, if you go to Italy...you see nothing but Asians.
theoakman saysThe us isn't crawling with Chinese tourists all over the place.Not tourists, but ... have you been to silicon valley? Did you know, for example, that United Airlines' biggest corporate customer is Apple? Apple has dozens of employees coming and going to China every day. http://www.frequentbusinesstraveler.com/2019/01/apple-is-united-airylines-largest-customer-annual-spend-is-150-million/

I’d like a test but fat chance of that happening! The CDC is going to have egg on its FACE for years over this!
The infection rate is probably several orders of magnitude larger than they’ve tested.

The reaction seems to be different regionally. I just went to the grocery store minutes ago. Pretty typical Thursday afternoon. Shelves fully stocked. No masks or any of that other rubbish. Plenty of TP. Maybe us midwesterners aren't as pussified as some of the coastal folks?

It's the illusion that shit is being bought out. The god damn packages of TP at Costco fill the entire fucking cart. You can only store so much of a cheap product in the back room. You sell 10 of them and the shelf is empty in the snap of a finger. Perception is a mother fucker. It does make for some funny memes though.

Being dead serious here. If your kid can't stay home for 8-10 hours and not fuck things up at the age of 7, you're a bad parent (unless they're disabled of course). Sorry.

"The system right now as it exists of doing a much broader capability of determining what the penetrance is in society is, right now, isn't operational at all for us," Fauci (CDC) said.
"The truth is we've under-invested in the public health labs," Redfield (CDC) said. "There's not enough equipment, there's not enough people, there's not enough internal capacity, there's no search capacity."
Why does it depend so much on the CDC when so much of the healthcare infrastructure is private in the US?

Don't touch Carnival stock at this point. I probably wouldn't touch cruise stocks at this point at all.... like I did last week 😥. I'm gonna hold what I got as I'm long term, but I'd just do index funds. Not sexy, but this is why the average investor gets burned fishing for individual stocks. You're usually wrong or the last one to the party.

Schengen area was banned strictly because they do allow unrestricted visa free travel. Actually makes sense, but there will always be a way to cherry pick facts to put bad optics on Trump. Maybe that is why Trump is allowing that cruise ship to disembark in California, since Trump owns a golf course in that state.
