Another good tracking site https://coronavirus.1point3acres.com/en

This is a pretty good site China specifically https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/china/ You are right to treat them with skepticism. For various reasons I think it will be more telling to watch how long it takes Europe to turn the corner for a better idea of what we're facing here in the US.

4th death in Indiana. 126 confirmed cases
-
They are pulling back on testing in big cities like NY and LA.

793 more deaths in Italy

People with other ailments avoiding the hospital if they can?

Third death in Indiana with less than 100 confirmed cases in the state. That is the same number of deaths as Michigan, which has confirmed over 550 cases. I just read a story that the husband of the woman in critical condition that I posted about a few days ago has been having symptoms and even he has not been tested yet. You'd think he of all people would be able to get one.

There is a lot of blame to go around on leaders in this country and elsewhere. The original sinner in all of this is China because of their disgraceful coverup of what was going on there before they couldn't hide it anymore. Been doing a good job of keeping politics out of this thread for the most part and would like that to continue. Whatever you think of the response to this pandemic or anything else, we have a chance to decide our path in less than 8 months, like we do every 4 years.

Yeah, somebody should come up with a better term for it. Shelter in place is misleading and causes unnecessary panic rush to the stores like you said.
-
I am hitting the store again today just to avoid the real chaos later. Indiana has been lagging Illinois a bit on many of these restrictions so I am figuring shelter in place in IN is coming.
-
I think just a couple towns went into lockdown first before it became widespread? Can't remember. Hard to put a lot of positive spin on the numbers, but just think how it would be if it were business as usual.
-
Awful day in Italy. 627 new deaths.
-
The testing has to get A LOT better so we can track it better and just have better data. Sure, it is not quite as limited as a few weeks ago, but there are still a lot of stories about symptomatic people who can't get tested. As an example, there have been less than 600 people tested in the entire state of Indiana. That has got to change fast.
-
For all that has been learned so far, still more to learn. The thing about those with type A blood type perhaps being more at risk of contracting it than type O is interesting. I am either type A or O. Not sure which.

^who gave me the hotdog for that post? I mean, yeah, we should not be overly optimistic yet (look at the flu... we still have many thousands of deaths/year in this country even with a vaccine and tamiflu, etc) but maybe something can work.
-
Some positive info about a couple meds already in existence that seem to have effectiveness in treating this.
-
That is right. I got a text from a friend that said that essential stuff was going to remain open, which implied that everything else was going to shut down.
-
Missed some of it but sounds like Pritzker is dropping the hammer in IL.
-
Indiana schools closed until at least May 1. Not to get political but there is starting to be a conservative backlash against our Republican governor. It is what it is though... there is pretty clear authority for the measures taken so far.
-
Slight good news out of Italy. Deaths are down from yesterday but still over 400.
-
South Bend area going into partial lockdown with only essential travel allowed.
-
Latest case around here is a mechanic at a car dealership. He was off work for like a week so at least didn't keep spreading it to other employees and customers all this time.
-
We should go full on Wuhan style lockdown in the United States. It would suck and it may be illegal but short term pain for long term gain.
