I'm now very glad I quit my job at Ballad earlier this year.
It started out as a tickle in his throat before bed, but by the next morning, it felt like the worst flu ever.
And by the time Kevin Harris was admitted to a hospital in Ohio five days later, he thought he was suffocating.
Within a couple of days, he said, he felt like he couldn't clear his throat. He couldn't stop coughing. By the next day, he had a fever and headaches. But the worst part was the body aches.
On a scale of 1 to 10, he said, the pain was 15.
He said he cried "like a little girl" when he moved from his bed to a nearby chair.
Three days after his first symptoms, he said, his fever had begun to wane, and it seemed like he might get better — but then it returned with a vengeance, and he felt like he was choking every time he breathed.
"Imagine your lungs turning solid. It's like suffocating without holding your nose," said Harris, who owns an auto body shop and typically runs 5 miles every day.
"Every time I lay down, my breathing gets lower and lower. I thought my lungs would fail me. I was screaming for mercy and praying to God."
By the time Harris made it to the hospital, it was taking him an hour to move 50 feet to his bathroom — and he had to stop twice, lie on the floor and catch his breath before reaching the door.

To put this in perspective, if my math is correct, on an average day last year in Italy there were 1700 deaths if you add all causes.Yesterday there were 218 deaths outside Lombardy and accelerating, it's dreadful but breaking 600 threshold is not out of question given Lombardy's number today
Pretty sure there are twice as many new cases today as yesterday. A big jumpis the situation in italy improving? peaking soon? already peaked?

It's getting worse and worse every day. More infected, many more deaths, looks grim.is the situation in italy improving? peaking soon? already peaked?
5,300 new cases yesterday, 5,900 new cases today.Pretty sure there are twice as many new cases today as yesterday. A big jump
It's peaking in the north, and just now started to ramp up everywhere else because of all the people who fled from the north when the quarantine measures were being introduced. We should start to see an improvement across the board in the coming weeks. With the entire country in lock-down, it's almost impossible not to. Remember, there is a lagging effect to everything we're seeing. What we're seeing today is the result of what happened some weeks ago.Pretty sure there are twice as many new cases today as yesterday. A big jump

No. It isn't.
Borrelli (Civil Protection chief) today said they think the peak will be postponed by at least a week on the expected (and was expected to be next week).
What? No. 5322 vs 5986.Pretty sure there are twice as many new cases today as yesterday. A big jump

"I don't take responsibility at all..."Why did you wait for the car to break down before addressing it? I inherited a bad system 100x
