There are almost 4,000 cases so far, not 1700
You do realize that that's roughly 0.00001142857% of the US population. Just sayin'. I'm sure it'll get worse but it seems that society and the government is doing a whole hell of a lot to prevent it.
I made no opinion. just stating a fact against incorrect information.
The reality is there are possibly 10's of thousands infected right now but we wont know because their symptoms are mild and they aren't being tested. Without that data you cant really tell. The 4,000 are probably a little more severe who went to the hospital. Just the reality of the situation

Maybe not in the specific post you're referring to now but in a whole hell of a lot of posts you made earlier, you provided your strong opinion about what a shit job government is doing to combat this virus. I just provided you with mine, I think they're doing pretty good overall.

I have been following that site, as well, but he numbers they post as "total affected" seem quite a lot higher than some other sites. I don't know if its a one day delay in reporting or what.
i also wonder if they drop people off the list of "affected" after they are cured? At this point in the story, it seems to me to be more important to know who actively has the virus rather than the total that have had it.

Here's the active cases map...
Apparently the virus likes white people even more than asian people.

I'm not out there physically counting people. I'm using websites with charts and stuff. Maybe they are a day late in reporting, I don't know. It doesn't make that much difference in the point, chicken little.
you hover over the picture of the USA (ask someone if you can't find it) and it says 1678 cases so far, I think. i was even rounding up so alarmists like yourself wouldn't wet the bed.

your opinion is wrong. They are a day late and a dollar short and are now scrambling to put lipstick on a pig. Its the governors and the mayors of cities who are taking control.

To slow the spread of #COVID19, I’m ordering:
•Closure of ALL pre-K, K-12 schools, higher ed insts. beginning 3/18
•Closure of ALL casinos, racetracks, theaters, gyms
•Closure of ALL non-essential retail, recreational, & entertainment bizs after 8pm
•Banning gatherings of 50+ pic.twitter.com/mmZe0bZWgb
— Governor Phil Murphy (@GovMurphy) March 16, 2020
...
On Sunday, Murphy gave some insight into his thinking behind the new restrictions.
“I saw too many videos last night of packed bars, people passing bottles drinking from the same bottle, literally globbed on top of each other,” Murphy said. “Short of shutting the entire state down, clipping establishments by a number of hours each night in particular, we believe will have a meaningful, positive outcome in terms of social distancing.”
...
The dramatic actions to enforce social distancing came the same day that confirmed cases of COVID-19 in New Jersey surged by 80 for a total of 178 with two deaths. It was the largest one-day increase since the first confirmed case
...
Cuomo said Monday that coming up with the same rules for closings across several states is “imperative” to prevent people simply driving from one locale to another to evade coronavirus-related closures.
“So don’t even think about going to a neighboring state because there’s going to be a different set of conditions,” Cuomo said, adding that the three states are “the only region in the country” to have taken such coordinated action.
Murphy emphasized that people who feel healthy have as important a role to play in this moment as people who are feeling ill.
“Just because you don’t feel sick — and this is a particular shout-out to our young people — it doesn’t mean you aren’t carrying the virus,” he said. “The last thing anyone should be thinking about is going out and potentially spreading the disease.”
BTW, I'm of the opinion that the increased numbers aren't just because of increased transmission. I think we've had many more affected, it's just until now the ability to test was very limited, and now testing is starting to ramp up.
I'd be very surprised if their are less than 100,000 already infected in the U.S.

Trump cut flights to China and Korea weeks ago you stupid, partisan cunt
sorry. not true. Distorted facts as usual.
As Azar explained when he announced the travel restrictions on Jan. 31, the policy prohibits non-U.S. citizens, other than the immediate family of U.S. citizens and permanent residents, who have traveled to China within the last two weeks from entering the U.S.
At a House subcommittee hearing on the coronavirus on Feb. 5, Ron Klain, White House Ebola response coordinator under the Obama administration, took issue with the characterization of the travel restrictions as a travel “ban.” “We don’t have a travel ban,” Klain said. “We have a travel Band-Aid right now. First, before it was imposed, 300,000 people came here from China in the previous month. So, the horse is out of the barn.” “There’s no restriction on Americans going back and forth,” Klain said. “There are warnings. People should abide by those warnings. But today, 30 planes will land in Los Angeles that either originated in Beijing or came here on one-stops, 30 in San Francisco, 25 in New York City. Okay? So, unless we think that the color of the passport someone carries is a meaningful public health restriction, we have not placed a meaningful public health restriction.”
Indeed, on Jan. 24, a week before the travel restrictions, the CDC confirmed two cases of the novel coronavirus in the U.S. from people who had returned from Wuhan, China, where the outbreak began.
Furthermore, Klain said, the import of goods from China is exempt from the travel restrictions, “and, of course, the people who fly the planes and drive the boats that bring those goods from China. We couldn’t ban that activity. We vitally need that. Ninety percent of the antibiotics in this country come from China. All kinds of vital medical supplies … we will use to treat people. So, travel bans … that’s not what we’re imposing, that’s not what exists.”
As part of the travel restrictions, Azar announced that any U.S. citizen returning to the U.S. who had been in Hubei Province in China in the previous 14 days would be subject to mandatory quarantine and health screening. U.S. citizens returning from mainland China outside Hubei Province were ordered to undergo health screenings and “up to 14 days of monitored self-quarantine to ensure they’ve not contracted the virus and do not pose a public health risk,” Azar said.
At the time the restrictions were announced, there were only six confirmed cases of the novel virus in the U.S. The outbreak, which began in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019, has now spread to more than 70 countries, including the U.S. According to a Johns Hopkins University case tracker and a New York Times database, as of March 6, more than 250 people in the U.S. have been infected with the new disease, known as COVID-19, and at least 14 have died.

He could have stopped this from entering the country! It doesnt matter that every fucking country on Earth is dealng with this right now. Every case in the USA is directly Trumps fault. He shouldve stopped this.

I love how you poor saps keep forgetting he said that it was a hoax. The numbers were contained and going down. You bunch of ball washing dupes. Its only because his precious stock market started going into the shitter and every expert in the world was telling him he was wrong that he finally realized he couldn't bullshit the numbers anymore. delusional partisan saps Nobody said the disease was his fault. Its his lack of leadership and lying that is theproblem

Hold on here my Jersey brother. You might disagree with Flumper and Cheezy at times but I can tell you for sure they're certainly not dumb. They are major pluses on this planet and on this board, just like you are.
See, Trump is speaking fact. I'm not sure where all of this criticism comes from.

Oh no! We have more tests now and we have found there are 50,000 more people with mild cases. what do we do now?
Oh, I know. How about asking people to not have big gatherings, to distance themselves if possible, to take precautions such as washing hands and not shaking hands, etc. Wait. We are already doing that.
Would you rather have a president that says, "Calm down everybody. We are doing all we can. Things are going to be fine. The stores will restock. Just do your part, its all going to be okay". Or would you rather have a president like Stapes suggests that gets on TV looking like Jack Nicholson from the shining and shouting end of the world scenarios?

Dude, come on now. Trump was on TV 2 weeks ago saying Corona wasn't really a problem, it'll be gone in a couple of weeks, and people don't really have anything to worry about.

I missed that then. so during the first week of march he said this virus would be gone in a couple of weeks?
