FFS, the news is getting worse every day. I thought yesterdays case totals seemed low.
Edit: source of numbers tabulated: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
About 600 new cases can be ascribed to the previous day's delay in reporting delay

(5,969 posts)There are now comparisons in how far are we lagging behind countries like Italy before it hits us just as much.
But that seems like a high death rate, particularly if you disregard some of the new cases that may be in earlier stages.

(27,118 posts)As is happening in Italy right now.
They are having to choose who to treat and who to let die.
Our hospitals are not prepared for a wave of sick.
Also, trauma cases, accidents, heart attacks, strokes, etc. will be neglected in the melee.

(8,168 posts)It's nice to know that visitors from Italy delivered this variant locally at the Biogen conference which has already infected 71 people in MA.

So that's not going to keep death rate low.
