So obviously way too early to know anything, but upon waking up I feel much better.When I had the regular flu two years ago, this was my exact situation. High fever for 2 days. Low grade fever for 4 days. No coughing. No sore throat. Very little mucus. Strep throat was a living nightmare by comparison.
It's time to open back up, if we aren't back open in about a week we are f'edTrump considers reopening economy, over health experts’ objections — The New York Times
Again, I just love the catchy headlines...Trump wants to open economy over health experts objections.
Then halfway down the article it says Cuomo is saying the same thing.
Good work!My tracking of actual daily new COVID-19 cases in U.S. and projections.
3/1 = 7
3/5 = 63
3/10 = 290
3/15 = 737
3/18 = 2848
3/19 = 4530
3/20 = 5594 (5522 median predicted)
3/21 = 4824 (6771 was the predicted median so hopefully we are seeing a rate fall)
3/22 = 9359 (9650 median predicted)
3/23 = 10168 (11,800 median predicted)
Coronavirus Update (Live): 392,440 Cases and 17,148 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Outbreak - Worldometer
Predicted New Case Ranges ran on 3/19
3/24 17,000 - 20,800
3/25 23,600 - 28,800
Predicted new Case Ranges Today
3/24 11,500 - 14,100
3/25 15,800 - 19,300
The last few days have shown that we are actually bending the curve, even with the caveat of testing. Especially since a huge percentage of our testing is being conducted in a known hot spot in NYC. Where do we go from here? This is a very key point in our response.
If we can stay on the current glide path, we will be degrading the number of cases in two weeks.
Testing data is being kept by The COVID Tracking Project
As of now:
Positive
43,430
Negative
244,828
Pos + Neg
288,458
Stay safe out there.

Search for keywords like IRS and Internal Revenue Service (1 hit), NASA, Indian, USPS, airlines, etc. None of that stuff is in there afaik.
Not saying it is perfect, but a much better starting point that that House atrocity.
Screw that. No more than 10 years total in my opinion. No pension either. Not only that, but their staff must be replaced entirely as well after 10 years on the government payroll. The problem isn't always with idiots sitting in the seats, it's the staff that's been there 20, 30 and 40 years that moves from office to office. The Senators and Representatives aren't as smart as you give them credit for and are easily swayed by staffers that make a profession out of manipulating these whores into voting a certain way. They have to go as well or the cycle will never be broken.
You want a pension after 20 years of service to this nation? Join the military.
They don't get to vote for pay raises for themselves either. That goes on the general ballot every Presidential election year and let the American people decide how much they deserve to make.
Do you know any statistics on faulty tests or false positives ?
The earliest tests, at least I believe that's what was being referenced, some doctor/scientist stated the false negatives were 30%.
Seems that would be hard to confirm, as being positive on a second test wouldn't necessarily mean the tested person was positive on the first.
A man died after ingesting a substance he thought would protect him from coronavirus
The man's wife told NBC News she'd watched televised briefings during which President Trump talked about the potential benefits of chloroquine. Even though no drugs are approved to prevent or treat COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, some early research suggests it may be useful as a therapy.
