30 days!?  That is a lot of businesses that will be closing without government money and assistance.

Same state that is declining to follow the fed tax filing extension because it'll hurt the budget...

Please Trump don't ease on social distancing. To reopen the government you need to do like a different country does lots of testing. But America is soo huge. I don't think reopen until things get better is the key word here. Flatten the curve , slow down the virus. For the American people.

Not trying to throw a wet blanket on things but if the United States loses 50,000 plus people each week to all sorts of causes doesn’t this seem like a tremendous effort and inflicted damage for the 500 virus victims we’ve seen this past week?

I'm not sure we're talkign about 500 victims a week if no action is taken though I'm not expecting the doomsday projections as well.

What are we looking at for latest mortality rates?

 

 

There are some nice websites that track it all worldwide and by country. They update regularly.

He hasn't closed the government, though, so what is there to reopen? Private corporations and states have made their own decisions on staying at home/etc. with the federal government's guidance only being the "15 days" talk Trump has already started to walk back.

The USA isn’t anywhere near the top of the list in deaths per million citizens. Interesting to see China with their huge population is way below us.

For my personal knowledge, how does an asymptomatic person transmit the disease?

it is thought (can't verify myself), that the first 5 days one is infected is when they are most contagious.

This outbreak hasn't peaked in the US.  Also, China is much more authoritarian.  They track people of interest just to be able to properly trace the spreading.
