Prove it then, instead of spouting some conspiracy theories and unsubstantiated crap why German numbers are wrong.

Now do it again with 45 dying without ever being recorded as covid cases. They have other diseases after all. If you don't test you don't know.
Not really. Lodi went on lockdown super fast, and their cases never took off the way Lombardi's did. The full lockdown in Lombardi was one day before the country-wide one.
Got it, thanks. Still those numbers are really weird compared to other countries.
i am sick and tired of western media reporting those CCP success stories about no new infections and stuff...it is just ridiculous at this point.
also, people should inform themselves how China did their quarantine...they were literally welding doors of houses and did other things that are downright against any human rights.

Again, it would be a relatively tiny number. We have free health care, the hospitals are not overloaded, anyone who can make an emergency call, would make it (unless they are just giving up)
User Warned: Fearmongering
We're absolutely fucked aren't we? Like, how do we recover? We're all going to either die from this or die from starvation.
Stop with the conspiracy bullshit. People are not being denied covid tests because they have underlying health issues.
Stop this. No. We're not.
People could just go out and live life as normal and society would still function to some degree even if we just let people get it and die before what you said happened. We're not going to collapse this degree.
It really seems an eternity. And we are only at the beginning, unfortunately.
Take a break from the internet, my man. Don't let it affect you too much. It will take a while for things to calm down, but it will happen. We will get out of this.
I said nothing about denying tests. Is it true or not that Germany doesn't test port mortem? The rest, how big or small the number is his nothing but speculation and/or exceptionalism.
Take a deep breath, step away from social media and go play some games and relax. It's bad but things aren't that fucked.
I wonder if Trump or his family own stocks in the company that makes the drug that he keeps talking about.
What are the estimates, how long until the peak? I read somewhere at least a week, possible two
I read multiple german articles already where reported deaths were post mortem. Stop it. There are many reasons why the death rate is low, high testing numbers, 80% affected <60, huge number of ICU places compared to other countries etc.
Stop panicking. It doesn't do you any good and it sure as hell doesn't do anyone else any good.
The economy fallout will be huge all around the world, it won't be just an "Italian thing". All eyes are on the EU, this crisis is going to break it for real if they don't do anything. I'm optimistic, the moment our healthcare will not be overwhelmed as of now and scientists will to discover better treatments, the course will change. I look at South Korea (yeah, we are not organized as them), but they are doing it, so it's possible. We just gonna hang in there for the time being.
Possibly two weeks, but nothing is certain at this point, unfortunately.
Welp.

We need more tests in the US.
Have you seen the numbers in Italy and Spain?
yeah the sensationalism has to stop. its simple as hell majority of us will be just fine whenever we get it the fear is that we cant all get it all at the same time or then we are left with hard choices of who lives and who dies. so instead of putting that much pressure on our health system we need just delay when each of us gets sick and make sure the most vulnerable of us can be cared for.
a week? Most countries are saying the peak will be late April / May dude.
Spain will never stop new infections if people keep doing stupid things (clandestine party at a hotel)

and scumbag employers keep threatening people in very dangerous but non-essential positions like marketing call centers to work without protective measures and crowded elbow-to-elbow.

Even with these numbers very little % of population even there is infected..... you need to put things in relation
- If people die and were previously part of the covid statistic, they are counted 100% as covid deaths
- If people die, without being part of the statistic, I have no Idea, I didn't watch the news conference where this info came about. But only people who are unable (or unwilling) to make an emergency call would even fall into this category. Covid is not a stroke where minutes matter, if your health detoriates, you call an ambulance and get checked.
Trump compared this initially to an overreaction and pointed to the Ebola outbreak of of 2014 under Obama, with a death toll of 11,323 total.
He failed to mention that Obama responded to the outbreak almost immediately and their precautions meant that the US had only 1 death and 4 confirmed cases, 2 of which were from nurses treated the man who died.
It would have been a godsend now to have had a leader take steps to ensure only 4 cases of this in the entire nation... but Obama didn't call Ebola a "GOP hoax" and put his head in the sand for months.
So, yeah, we're going to SOAR past the Ebola casualty numbers soon.
Don't feel helpless. Just be safe, follow the right guidelines, and take care of yourself.
Remember, the risk is still low, and those most at-risk are the elderly.
This is not the end of civilization, just a massive interruption of normal life that can and will return back to normal eventually.
Don't go thinking we'll be in the world of Mad Max just yet.
Breathe deeply. Even with how bad as things are going to get, we will come out okay on the other side.
About Germany, I want to ask one thing to German people or to people who carefully follow the evolution of Covid-19 in that country.
Do Germany announce daily how many tests were performed, or weekly, with an official statement? This morning I saw someone posting tweets about maximum capacity of tests, but not how many of that capacity were performed. In Italy at 6PM numbers are announced official. As of today, 206886 tests were performed, more than 20k in a single day (yesterday's number was 182777).
Are there similar numbers for Germany, or just a "maximum test capacity of 160k weekly"?

I meant in Italy, who are obviously ahead of everyone else and hit hard
For American healthcare workers and household contacts:
There is now a new randomized clinical trial that is trying to test whether post-exposure prophylaxis with hydroxycholoroquine works in preventing Covid-19 infection. Participants are mailed either 1 week worth of hydroxychloroquine or placebo. Email the contact person if you want to be enrolled.

Not daily, but tagesschau.de reports numbers of weekly tests performed sometimes. 35k two weeks ago, 100k last week, capacity rising. These are numbers without hospital tests. We should be nearing 300k tests totally done end of week.
The infected numbers are not accurate at all because most countries aren't testing people that don't show symptoms. That means two things: the number of infected people is several times bigger than the reported (some say that between 10 to 20 times bigger), and that the mortality rate is much smaller than reported.
I couldn't help but say 'fuck!!' out loud when I saw Italy's numbers. Fuck.
What is this, three weeks ago? This sounds like dismissive commentary surrounding the seriousness of the disease. Think about how many lives will be affected even if we have 1% fatality. Or 0.5%.
And at this point it is just stupid to look at the number of tested cases and assume that represents anything but the people that were tested. There is no way we are testing enough, or that it is even possible to test enough at this point.
A... week?

But we're not helpless. That's the good bit. We can all do our part to make this as painless as possible. This isn't a zombie outbreak. We have an end in sight. Just do your best, play some videogames, follow all the safety measures, and you're well on your way to being as helpful as possible.
Yes. I'm not suggesting we do this. My point is, even if we just let it wipe out segments of humanity we wouldn't be as bad as what he's suggesting.
I'm not actually suggesting we do that.
Mind providing a source for that 160k tests? The latest I got was 100k last week, not counting tests in hospitals.
