Mike DeWine is apparently the only governor in the Republican Party who has taken this seriously and not wait for Daddy Trump to give him the go ahead.
Alabama still has not issued a stay at home. South Carolina did too after McMaster had a talk with Trump.

We have another week of escalation till this should level out and drop drastically. What that escalation is will be interesting. If it's a doubling every 2 day period then we are going to be under 100k I think.

Important in times of consensus to hear countering points.
Some of the ventilators owned by the federal government dont work because they let the contract with the company that maintains them lapse last summer.

Sturg is all about ...
I'm still curious about the data that clearly is showing no spike in illness-related deaths to this point.
Seems to indicate that covid is taking people who may have otherwise been at risk to other illness.

deadly ignorance or a deadly lie?
State and local governments keep a variety of data on mortality rates and other indicators of public health.

Do they have on other ailments. I'm not concerned with the flu. Who is dying from heart disease and where are those numbers trending period over period?
From what I'm reading any death where the patient tests positive for covid 19 is being counted in these numbers.
That should not be happening unless the virus directly caused the death.
Go to the website and do some digging.

The graph I posed gives ED visits for ILI by month. You can see from the graph the severity of the 2017-18 flu season. The much less severe 2018-19 season. Looks like this past season was severe before dropping sharply in February. And a new turn up in March, which is COVID-19. And now we are in April, when the numbers will be off the charts.
