Coronavirus May Explode in U.S. Overnight Just Like in Italy

Sooner or later, it’s virtually bound to happen.

Though novel 2019 coronavirus cases in the United States have so far ticked up in fits and starts, experts on deadly diseases say Americans should be prepared to see an overnight boom in cases that mirror the skyrocketing outbreaks in Italy and South Korea.

At last count from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were 60 confirmed novel 2019 coronavirus cases in the U.S. One of those cases—in northern California—marked the first case of unknown origin, as The Washington Post first reported Wednesday. Fourteen patients came through the American health system after traveling to China or having close contact with someone who had. The rest were either repatriated individuals who fled the vicinity of the virus’s origin in China on State Department-chartered planes or else were rescued from the disastrous Diamond Princess cruise ship outbreak.

Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the CDC, acknowledged Tuesday that community spread—when cases are detected in an area but the source of the infection is not known—was very likely to cause more infections in the United States. The case in California, which a CDC statement said was “picked up by astute clinicians,” appeared to prove her right, and set the stage for a serious test of American health infrastructure after years of atrophy.

In Italy, officials have not been able to trace the origin of infections, which skyrocketed from just four on Friday to more than 528 by Thursday, killing at least 14 people.

It will explode in the US the moment they start using an accurate and efficient test kit.

I think in a few days or a week we will be seeing Italy unfold on the West Coast.

Imagine what GLP will be like on that day.

I almost never agree with the poster. However, this time they are right. We better all get on the same fucking page and put politics behind us.

Flu has 0.1% mortality
Corona 2%

How is the flue more deadly?

CDC has announced that 40 facilities will begin testing for Covid19 tomorrow.
Get ready for the explosion in Confirmed cases!

the flu has killed hundreds of millions of people.

corona is still in the low thousands.

the only deaths of this virus are from 9mm vaccines.
and in china. those cruise ships get a norovirus all the time.
Mortality Rate (2.1% Nationwide, 4.9% Wuhan, 3.1% Hubei, and 0.16% other provinces).
influenza 2019, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths in the united states alone with top medical facilities.
a higher mortality rate than corona virus.
its just panic inset to derail the November elections. GLP played right into it.
