3% recovered, numbers don't lie, but the only numbers that piece of dung cares about is the stock market numbers.

There are reported cases and deaths. Those discharged or otherwise reported on by hospitals/doctors are discharged. But if you're tested, sent home, and recover 8 days later nobody's going to check up and say you're recovered.

At some point either they'd have to track you down to see if you're still sick or are recovered, but that might be in three months. Or maybe they'll just figure that since you're not among the dead you're among the recovered.

If the site didn't report the "recovered" number nobody would notice. The site I use has "active cases", which is just the reported minus deaths. It, too, is trash data.

NO! You don't stink at google! I wasn't using google anyway!

I started taking a photo of the statistics graphics, as I watched the coverage in real time. I'm fascinated by that - just weird that way.

And I realized that every time you take a photo, there's a time stamp on that photo denoting when you took it, so that would be an interesting, if totally amateur, way to track the speed and scope of the outbreak.

So that's all this is.

We're putting it together today (Saturday). "Meeting" together via phone.

Thanks for finding this one, TheBlackAdder. It quite literally "brings it home."

Some miserable milestones:

At 5:57pm, there are now more than two-thousand deaths. 2003, to be exact. Yep, we jumped that hurdle.

And another one:

The confirmed cases number is up above 120-thousand. 120,124, to be exact.
