I've visited with sixty-three patients so far this week. Only four for respiratory illnesses.

I'm guessing everyone else with viral symptoms is going to the emergency rooms, urgent care centers, or staying home. I feel fine, so I'll keep coming to work.

Everybody stay healthy.

We have watching Trump do the perp walk as incentive to stay above ground.

even though he has all the symptoms, and is negative for flu and whatever else they rule out.

So he's staying home and caring for himself, and there's one less case his Republican governor and Republican President need to admit too.

It's infuriating.

When enough people are infected the ERs and ICUs will be overwhelmed with severe cases and the deaths will begin.

At that point, all of the missing data for the milder cases will skew the CFR up to Italy’s horrifying 6.7% rate. Or higher.

Trump’s CDC can hide the non critical cases. They will not be able to hide the serious ones. And there will be a lot more serious ones than there might otherwise have been due to what is basically uncontrolled spread right now.
