The United States now has more than 100,000 confirmed cases of the new coronavirus, a tracker maintained by Johns Hopkins University showed Friday.The biggest cluster by far is in New York, home to almost half the cases, overwhelming the hospital system.
It may also rise if more cities and states find themselves in a similar position to New York, which has seen more than 500 deaths and is experiencing a drastic shortage of hospital beds, personal protective equipment and ventilators.
As the illness took root, first in the West Coast states of Washington and California, the US was unable to perform meaningful levels of contact tracing because it was so slow off the mark with testing. Neighbouring New Jersey follows, then California and Washington state, then Michigan and Illinois in the Midwest, with clusters focused in major cities.States or areas that have yet to experience surges should not be complacent, said Thomas Tsai, a general surgeon and professor of health policy at Harvard.
As of Friday afternoon, 61 per cent of the US population of 330 million was called to lockdown, meaning 39 per cent is not.One relative bright spot has been that the fatality rate in the US based on confirmed cases has remained relatively low so far - 1.5 per cent, compared to 7.7 per cent in Spain and 10 per cent in Italy."Low CFR is not reassuring," David Fisman, an epidemiologist at the University of Toronto, told AFP.
Do you really trust China to tell the truth!
Make Coronavirus Great Again. Ginger man didn’t heed to the advice of the American scientists who are the best in world.
*tested cases*. Untested? Maybe 1mil already.
Oh come on, are you really asking that question?
The Olympics is back on! Who will have the biggest tally! 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ surely there’s some best going on
Over 2 months of denial ?
This is exactly what China wanted to have published ... but the world knows China is a compulsive liar !
Because in the USA shit is what normally only happens to everyone else or folk on reality television.
What everyone else said + how many cruise ships disembarked unchecked?
Same as Australia . No manufacturing ,they rely on cheap third world labor to make the their medical supplies, wow surprise surprise those countries limited exports of those goods to save themselves. Globalisation and free trade agreements what a concept. Australia will be next.
Why so high? Because US society is fundamentally broken! And ... maybe ... beyond repair.
Are they still resisting Medicare for all
So you believe the Chinese Communist Party? Hand your broadcast license in.
What’s the go with China? A convenient 40-60 new cases each day and a comparative 4-6 deaths each day - can they be trusted?
Something the article doesn’t touch on: they have a President who lies & is known to be vindictive. He will delay sending Federal aid, & minimise what is sent, where he can. New York urgently needs thousands of respirators, & will be lucky to get any, as Trump disputes the need.
Something to do with it being called a hoax by cheeto for so long perhaps Or maybe because everyone that could have done something sooner was fired by Cheeto? Maybe it’s because they have a c*ck spanner telling them to keep doing things normally?
ItsBouquet Cos morons in charge...
Failure at contact tracing, at testing, at quarantine of suspected cases and at isolation of positive cases. In short, failure.
Predatory capitalism will come to the rescue! Or maybe not.
slsandpet winner winner chicken dinner
ItsBouquet Australia...wait...hold my beer...
Its well known the virus spreads at 1.3 to 1.4. UsA spreading at 1.3. So tomorrow 130k, next day 169k, next day 220k. Only way to stop this virus is to isolate and test.
I believe China has fudged their numbers!!
China lied
Because they have tested more people, and let’s be honest no one really believes China’s numbers do they?
Because of Trump's negligence and stupidity.
Comment: 03282020U I think the US will have large numbers of people needing hospitalization bc: - pre-existing conditions - stil high levels of air pollution Important if one has lung dammage fr the virus- - high percentage of the people having high BMIs being overweight/obese
Perhaps because the country is so populated? 🧐
MOST OF THE,I USE THE WORD DILIGENTLY LEADERS / POLITICIANS ARE BORN IDIOTS! THEY HAVE TO AND LIKE TO SHOW THEY HAVE MORE GREY MATTER THAN US! IT'S ALL IN THIS ACTING PERFORMANCE FOR A CAREER WITH PERKS! AND THEY SURROUND THEMSELVES WITH ADVISERS WHO VERY WELL FIT INTO THAT SETUP
Does the reason have bad hair and a spray tan?
That is a rhetorical question, right. We all know the reason why.
