Just heard a doctor say because of the lack of testing the total cases are closer to 20,000 vs 546.
Didn't he say last week the number would be closer to zero this week?
But not testing does tend to keep the reported numbers down.
Every doctor keeps asking our president how he knows so much about all of this, so I'm not worried. We have the vice-president in charge who doesn't believe in science and our president who thinks it's OK to look at the sun during a solar eclipse. Nothing to be concerned about.
You wanna know what? You gotta problem with Luis Cessa, you gotta problem with me. And I suggest you let that one marinate

The fact Trump believes and says the virus will be completely contained within a week suggests just how dangerously ignorant he is.
The NIH is saying we can expect 96,000,000 infections within the next two months (USA).

I don't think Trump is completely wrong in that I do believe it has to some extent been politicized to use against him but that's also his fault for trying to sweep it under the rug. You can't "fake news" this away because it's a real problem that has to be taken seriously. And our president seems to be incapable of doing anything beyond how it helps or hurts his own ambitions. His leadership sucks.

I no longer understand what it means that something is "politicized." Yes, his management of it has been harshly and correctly criticized. It’s also morphed into criticism of his entire presidency - also correctly, because while the virus itself is a new situation, what he’s doing is the same as everything he’s done as president.
Well don’t stop there. Plenty of other lyrics to alter.
Jeez, some of it can stay the same.
These people 'round here
Were beaten down, eyes sunk in smoke-dried face
They're resigned to what their fate is
Covid-19

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
But he moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried, sang along, who'd blame them
You're grown (so grown up)
So grown (so grown up)
Now I must say more than ever
(Covid-19)
Too ra loo ra too ra loo rye aye
And we can sing just like our fathers
Covid-19, oh I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
I touch my face, my thoughts a disgrace
Verge on dirty
Ah, Covid-19
Covid-19
These people 'round here
Were beaten down, eyes sunk in smoke-dried face
They're resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no, never), no, not us (no, never)
We are far to young and clever
(Remember)
Too ra loo ra too ra loo rye aye
And you'll hum this tune forever
Covid-19, oh, I swear (what he means)
Ah, just give up on everything
If it were only, Nineteen (yes the year)
Ah, come on let's, ah, Covid-19
No vacation this year, Nineteen (was my last)
Ah come on let's, ah, Covid-19, please
Covid-19, too rye aye
Covid-19, too rye aye
Now you're full grown
Now you have shown
Oh, Nineteen
Said, Covid-19
These things they are real and I know
How you feel
Now I must say more than ever
Things 'round here have changed
I say, too ra loo ra, too raloo rye aye
Covid-19
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in my thoughts, myself I will die
Itís happening
Ah, Covid-19
Oh, Covid-19
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
Itís quite a mess, oh, my thoughts I confess
Well, they're constantly

And for those in the know, the more serious threat. Every Day:
The Return of the Giant Hogweed
Turn and run
Nothing can stop them
Around every river and canal
Their power is growing
Stamp them out
We must destroy them
They infiltrate each city
With their thick dark warning odour
They are invincible
They seem immune to all our herbicidal battering
Long ago in the Russian hills
A Victorian explorer found
The regal Hogweed by a marsh
He captured it and brought it home
Botanical creature stirs
Seeking revenge
Royal beast did not forget
He came home to London
And made a present of the Hogweed
To the Royal Gardens at Kew
Waste no time
They are approaching
Hurry now, we must protect ourselves
And find some shelter
Strike by night
They are defenseless
They all need the sun
To photosensitize their venom
Still they're invincible
Still they're immune to all our herbicidal battering
Fashionable country gentlemen
Had some cultivated wild gardens
In which they innocently planted
The Giant Hogweed throughout the land
Botanical creature stirs
Seeking revenge
Royal beast did not forget
Soon they escaped, spreading their seed
Preparing for an onslaught
Threatening the human race
Mighty Hogweed is avenged
Human bodies soon will know our anger
Kill them with your hogweed hairs
Heracleum Mantegazziani
Giant Hogweed lives!

South Korea. Who has been testing right from the start, is reporting a drop in new cases.
Seems likely that every country will have a similar time curve that China and South Korea has had. Our peak might not be here for a couple of months if we follow those patterns.
That's good. They're way ahead of us, as is every developed country, I'm sure.
Thanks, Obama.
My sister travels a lot (and I mean a lot). And she has told me when she returns to the U.S. after being at certain places it feels like this is a third world country.
