Note 1: It is only two days for the cases number but my guess is that the downward trend in growth rates is real. Why? Because it is relatively easy to see a mechanism for it. Countries which are a few weeks ahead on the curve started shutting things down around the last week of Feb (3 weeks ago). They went all the way with nation-wide lockdowns around 10 days ago. Given an incubation period of 10 - 15 days (not precisely known) one would expect that the results of these actions would become visible right about now.

This may not be the beginning of the end but it may be the end of the beginning (where the beginning was marked by denial and non-action). (again, apologies to Winston Churchill).

Note 2: Fatality Rate continues to creep up. This sounds like a bad thing. But actually it may be a positive sign - what it primarily signifies is that the proportion of brand new cases (too soon for the individual to pass away) is dropping. That is, things are slowing down just a bit.

Note 3: "Have to ask...." asked some good questions several pages back. I will address these but I do not have time at the moment to run the numbers.

Optimistic - Time to beat the Cr#&3p! out of this thing. But it will be costly.

No charge, sally! Helping the violently disabled gives lots of practice sorting out trump.

The blind leading the blind. Horrible leadership.

A couple of dumb dangerous fvcks.

Hold him accountable for both his actions and his words.

No amount of deceit will undo the damage he caused.

They used to always mock the “globalists.” Turns out they’re at the mercy of the wider world, only because they never pay attention to it.

Sally, get real. You have no authority to say others are making idiotic statements as you are the dumbest person here and that I have ever encountered. Rigged is trying hard to take that from you, but he's not quite there. You are a bumbling fool who knows nothing about everything. Your level of ignorance about absolutely everything is shocking. Stuff a sock in it.

Jesse is here 24/7 calling people "dumbfxcks" and other nasty names. He would not do that in the real life where people would kick his fat asss. Rigged and I are assaulted here non-stop with nasty names. He doesn't seem to care and I could give a flying fukk what I am called. But you LIberals should tell him and others Trollimator (who supposedly is pursuing a masters in Data Sciences which we all know is a crock since he is here all the time) to tone it down. This is supposed to be a place to have an honest discourse but these 2 punks make a mockery of it. Many Liberals are good at treating others with respect. Not Jesse and Trollminator. Just 2 punks. Smorburn? He is even below their level

You are a turd - I hate that term but it fits you perfectly. You would never say those things to me in real life but your panties here are not in too much a bunch to feel free to do so. Just get lost loser.

Some bad news today: Deaths spiked in Spain to 191. That's far in advance of that country's previous daily totals. Let's hope it was a statistical outlier.

But there's some good news:

In Italy, new case counts have roughly flatlined for four days, and daily death counts have roughly flatlined for three days. Three or four days does not a curve top make, but if a curve were topping out, this is what it might look like.

In Iran new cases have flatlined for around 6 days. Also good. But daily death counts in Iran spiked up even more than usual.

Certainly death counts are probably lagging indicators, so the flatlines in case counts in Italy and Iran could be good news, despite the spike in deaths in Iran. Assuming testing has been consistent.

So we can still see some green shoots among the misery. Would be interesting to look at the top of the curve in China, SK, Japan and see if it looked like this.

Iran, Italy, Spain continue to make up around 85% of daily deaths. The total of deaths outside of those three countries was small: 132 people. But it doubled over five days and will continue to grow. I don't see an acceleration or deceleration in the pace of growth of deaths outside the big three countries.

Notably, Germany had a rough day, continuing to grow in case counts and deaths.

The federal government's virus response plan to combat the coronavirus warns:

-- will last 18 months or longer

-- include ‘multiple waves

-- widespread goods shortages

-- major strain to health care system

Most of these 91 deaths in the US were older people with pre-existing conditions who were infected before we knew they were at risk. We now have this group on total lockdown.

There are too many media fear mongers who are happiest believing everything is gloom and doom.

You are such an idiot.

You are batshit crazy with TDS.

AND Trump says to expect 20% unemployment

It’s Tuesday, that means Biden is owning Sanders in the primaries.

Time to do the decent thing Bernie.

Interesting (at least to me): The Gap has been closing over the last few days and now is *below* ten percentage points. As some on here have suggested, COVID-19 may end up assisting President Trump's re-election.

Plus, of course, the Dow gained 5+% today.

LOL ... that "gain" puts the DOW lower than it was all the way back to March 13th. Two trading days ago.
