No body is convinced about that, people only die from this virus.

Of course not, I never said anything about life quarantine, I am just asking what the WHO means by "recovered"?
Nothing whatsoever, I
street lights , door handles , toilet seats ! And I am still posting 
There are no quarantines in the world , I don’t see them with my own eyes.
Only on the internet... everybody knows that’s fake

I wouldn't trust anything the WHO says when they say gender is a social construct. They're supposed to go off science but they've been hijacked by politics.
373 (+54) barely 1600 more tests carried out though up from the previous day (26k versus 24.6k)
#Justtheflubro
There are not enough tests ... testing is manual labor here in The Netherlands. Takes almost 3 days. 24 hours for the first 24 hours for the second l, you need 2 tests.
Yup it’s that bad.

In NorCal a Jr. High school student has tested positive. He got it from a family member and is the reason why one of the largest school districts in NorCal has closed all schools this week.

Recovered means they test negative for the virus, and are no longer contagious. It means they don't have the virus any more.

Meanwhile, Valencia is celebrating Falles.
I expect Spain to be the next Italy. It's impossible to stop this outbreak in their culture. Also, society is elderly which makes it perfect for corona...

No one wants a collapse. Erring on the side of caution is the prudent thing to do. Jamming your fingers in your ears and screaming "Its just the flu bro" is not how you prevent that from happening, because the unprepared will be the ones panicking when their loved ones can't breathe.

That's not what I'm saying. At the same time forcibly quarantine 327 million people in the US and causing a full economy collapse isn't the thing to do either. People just need to not be stupid and not go out if they feel sick. And people are ALREADY panicking. Just read this thread.

Spain cancels flights to and from Italy
From CNN’s Laura Perez Maestro
The Spanish government has blocked direct flights between Spain and Italy as it looks to stop the spread and of coronavirus.
The government said in a statement it was making the decision because the vast majority of cases imported into Spain had been linked to Italy

“We don’t know” how many coronavirus tests have been done, says US health secretary
US Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar says his department isn’t sure how many tests for the novel coronavirus have been performed in the United States.
"We're working with the CDC and those partners to get an IT reporting system up and running hopefully this week where we would be able to get that data to keep track of how many we're testing,” he added.
America # 1..... cannot even get basic IT working in government lol

The economy is already collapsing/has already collapsed. Hitting the pause button for a month would be a hell of a lot less damaging than a huge question mark lasting for who knows how long.
Supply chains are already disrupted. If we can slow the spread down until temperatures start to rise, it should help to put a stop to the virus. The thing is, the more it spreads now the worse it will return in the fall and winter. If we can get it contained and improve treatment protocols by fall the economic future looks a lot brighter than another month of uncontrolled exponential growth.
Economy is collapsing worldwide either way , so beter proactive prepare and handle.
Didn’t you watch the trading news?

No shit quarantining the entire US wouldn't be a good idea.
The right thing to do, would've been to take it seriously from the get go. Rigorous testing and contact tracing. That way you can get away with quarantining small areas and small numbers of people.

Harvard asks students to move off-campus by the end of this weekend
Students at Harvard are being asked to move out of their dorms by Sunday, according to media relations director Rachael Dane.
“Harvard College students have been asked to move out of their Houses and First-Year Dorms by Sunday, March 15 in an effort to de-densify our community,” Dane told CNN in an email.
All academic courses will continue to be held remotely, she added.
Earlier today, Harvard's president said the school has asked students not to return to campus after spring break.
Harvard spokesman Jason Newton said any on-campus meetings after March 23 — the first day after spring break — will go virtual.

Remember Iran says only 237 have died officially.
And remember the US only has 722 cases right now.

What the US socialist media doesn't understand is that in the US A LOT of the time when you get lab tests done from your doctor they're NOT done by the nanny state government like in other countries. There are commercial lab companies that many doctors and insurance plans use, and those are testing beyond the CDC tests.

Yeah, China shut down its entire economy because it's the US election Year. Seems Legit.
No. But we are here. Here, the politics are definitely part of the equation. However China has a lot on the line trade-wise with us. So any chance they can get to harm trump they will take it as well.

Already? We've barely had any impact so far in the US.

Who would have ever thought that a for profit health care system wouldn’t make investments into unprofitable areas like pandemic preparedness for national security purposes. I’m shocked, utterly shocked.
They will spend millions for the the top of the line MRI that they can charge a premium for, mind you.

Well it's a good thing the public health labs are the only labs in the US that can test. Be he doesn't tell you that, or it's a lede that's buried. It's all about putting forth a narrative to drive panic. In the US all private hospitals have labs and there are also commercial labs that are used by a lot of insurance companies.
If I were to go down the street to a doctor locally, they'd send the labs across the street to a LabCorp that they use. If I wanted to drive a little further to a better hospital, that hospital would use their on-site lab to test.

Here's a list of public & private labs. Still not enough. 1500 LabCorp location tests isn't enough.

Careful there Citizen. I may have to mark you down for one of our future
Call me a fool and a communist here, but if China wanted to get rid of Trump wouldn't it be a lot easier for them to just assassinate the man versus infect their own country with an uncontrollable virus and tank their own economy in the process? Or are we playing this entire scenario out using 24 Scriptwriting rules? In which case carry on.
