FFS, the news is getting worse every day. I thought yesterdays case totals seemed low.

Edit: source of numbers tabulated: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

About 600 new cases can be ascribed to the previous day's delay in reporting delay

1. OMG😳😔

2. Yeah, it is getting scary

There are now comparisons in how far are we lagging behind countries like Italy before it hits us just as much.
But that seems like a high death rate, particularly if you disregard some of the new cases that may be in earlier stages.

7. We are 9 days away from people dying in the hallways in hospitals.

As is happening in Italy right now.

They are having to choose who to treat and who to let die.

Our hospitals are not prepared for a wave of sick.

Also, trauma cases, accidents, heart attacks, strokes, etc. will be neglected in the melee.

8. Bad. They do have an older population too. But the creep on the death rate isn't just age.

[Dem2]

12. 6,681 new cases worldwide so far (it's early for such a big number) over +2100 over yesterday

That's up over 45% day over day from yesterday.

I think I'm going to throw up now.

15. That is what? An 8% or 9% death rate?

[Dem2]

16. Difficult to determine at this time

It's nice to know that visitors from Italy delivered this variant locally at the Biogen conference which has already infected 71 people in MA.

17. Shit.

[LisaL]

19. Well, they decided not to treat the elderly as they have lower chances of survival

than younger people.
So that's not going to keep death rate low.

18. 7325 new cases today worldwide, 60% increase

...in new cases compared to yesterday (4567.)
