They’re going to try. The numbers will be retroactively adjusted, but not for years later.
The official death toll for Hurricane Maria was under 100 for at least a month.
Well I think there will be in the order of a million deaths so while they will grossly undercount, it won’t be as low as 50k. If they could keep it that low we wouldn’t be at 3k already.
This isn’t the same thing as Maria.
It’s happening?

I was talking about this earlier. We have to be getting there. Continuing to do this without proper equipment is crazy and I would not blame any of them.
UNACCEPTABLE! VERY TROUBLED!
Do something or GTFO Liz.

Chris Cuomo has corona. It’s a tough month for the Cuomo family.
Big increase in New York cases today

Seems like the positives are more a function of how many tests they can do than how many people have it. They are probably maxed out on testing capacity and so this 6-9k range is basically the max positive tests they can get a day.

Officially 341 in last 24 hours, and they’ve added 40 to the total (who died in nursing homes before 20th).
It’s bad when tests go up 4000 and positives go up 3000.
We are still nowhere close to having adequate testing, which is going to be absolutely necessary unless some miracle treatment falls out of the sky.
I’m gonna need daily situation reports from The Villages.

Trump made sure to throw out the 2.2 million number if they did nothing about the virus. So if 200k+ die, he can still say that ten times that many would have died had they done nothing. He’s already been crowing about how his travel ban from China saved “tens of thousands” of lives.
Especially bad when you consider those 9,298 were actually tested up to 4 days ago (time it takes results to return)
So maybe 9,298 new cases from the 17,412 tests carried out 3/28/2020 might be more accurate.
Meaning there are at least 30,000 positives ‘in the system’ likely to return from the tests done since 3/29/2020

What do you want her to do besides bring attention to it? She’s a single Senator in the minority party.

I don’t think we really know when the tests are taken. The daily numbers could be the number of results received in a given day or they could be the number of tests administered.
I’m wondering if the virus hasn’t come (and now nearly gone) from my household.
Two Fridays ago out of nowhere I was hit with a sudden wave of mild body aches and feverish feeling (no thermometer in the house). Woke up a couple nights drenched in sweat. Slept a lot over the weekend, and after 2-3 days the feverish feeling and aches went away, but all last week I was more tired than normal. Finally feeling close to 100% this week.
Mrs. JordanIB started feeling ill 5-6 days after I did. Mostly fatigue and maybe a little feverish. A couple days ago she said her lungs felt “fuzzy” and it was more difficult to breathe, but that has subsided the last couple of days and she’s feeling better, but not 100% yet.
Wish there was a “you had corona” test readily available.

Check out that positive rate spike though.
How can you know this thread exists but not own a thermometer? Glad you’re feeling better.
