Over 100 Coronavirus Cases Confirmed In US; More Deaths In Washington State | TODAY
Manhattan the new vertical cruise ship
Absolutely right
So, I did the math: The Diamond Princess ship is 330m long, 47m wide (at best). That makes it 0.01551 km2 with 2666 passengers. That’s 171,889 people per km2 (not even counting the crew)… for how many days? For comparison: New York: 10,712 people per km2 Wuhan about 7,198 people per km2 The Tokyo area is 6,158 per. So, yeah, NY is pretty high density as cities go, but nowhere near cruise ships.
4Fixerdave The way you’re putting it. It’s going to be a nightmare.
Death rate looks to be a little high. They are not testing anyone unless they are on their death bed with flu like symptoms it seems. There’s probably hundreds if not thousands of covid-19 cases on U.S. soil but we will never know the real numbers.
More like they havent been testing people and anyone whos died from this disease cod was labeled flu or viral pneumonia. 100%
Does no one think we should be looking at the death rate of the diamond princess? Thats the only accurate numbers we really have and its nearly 10% with very few recovered. They have been sick for weeks
@Amy Bottoms they need to undo somehow with the test cost…or lower it a lot.
Death rate is at 3% and most deaths are old people with weak immune systems
“Underlying health issues” means anyone with any of these: Diabetes, hypertension, asthma, morbid obesity, chronic allergies will see ICU. Hmmm that’s 90% of US.
Yup 90% would cover just the obese ones in Dumbmerica.
I’m seeing 30 year olds die sooo ya…..
@Marc Seguin Murder
@Marc Seguin likely due to the viral load, or another virus/diease taking advantage of the taxed immune system.
If they are not effective why do healthcare and hospitals want them for
@urmaker Haha, No. Not because you said it makes no sense, but because you didn’t bother to not understand my statement. By the way, you don’t have to include It unless it’s meant to start the structure of a sentence in any particular way.
@urmaker And if it is true, that you’re disabled. Then it makes no sense to correct me when Im actually right. I pity you for your envy.
@Talayar Mein I literally corrected you on the fact the virus won’t help people not infected. That is a fact. Stop being so defensive. Lol If the virus did nothing to prevent infection then more medical staff would have it. 😉
Yes, they need it more than the average healthy adult, but it still does help prevent infection. I had masks long before all this due to my issues.
@urmaker Playing the devil’s advocate won’t help you change your previous statement. By the way, you didn’t even correct me on anything, let me be more clear, YOU DIDN’T EVEN CORRECT ANYTHING. Because I was responding to people who literally thought doctors are being selfish or foolishly don’t understand what mask are used for. Then you came in without any reason that doesn’t have to do with the topic.
I know it’s like saying why do cancer patients wear masks if it’s not effective in protecting a person from breathing in a virus?
So if its not a good protective barrier why is policemen wearing them if the policemen are wearing them so am I it’s my money I’ll pay for them thank you
Verry good Same as that family first
@Sky Robin Why aren’t they prepared? Is that our fault?
Mask are useless against this virus it only prevent the airborne part doesn’t prevent nothing else. It can easily go through the eyes if detected on range of a sneeze or cough. Its been known how contagious it is.
@God Killer Wear a mask and goggles.
That is why I prepared ahead of time and got goggles head cover the whole nine yards for my family over a year ago if the CEOs of the hospitals in this country cannot prepare for emergency medical emergencies I’m sorry this little housewife can
That is the smartest move and I hope All schools take what Miami schools are doing and prepare the same way.
As a parent and aunt with my son and my nephew having RSV as babys they are always predisposition to having lung problems my nephew worse than my son ended up with severe asthma even something as simple as a cold sends him into the hospital with nebulizer treatments and prednisone and look at how many children are in our schools have diabetes and other underlying health conditions that could seriously make them more susceptible to becoming extremely ill from this virus as parents this is not some paranoid delusion you hear about people dying from this virus because they have underlying health conditions and these children are some of the most vulnerable.
@Taz nmc I think it is, too. And our school still hasn’t closed. We are 25 miles out and that town that closed is the closest place to get groceries, so many from our town go out there, us included to shop. It’s easily here, too.
@persephone Bast innerstates panic before other states do, I think it’s because all the hurricanes the new reports and nothing ever happens, if people stock up now they will have to do it again during hurricane season, I wish they would just sound the alarms and press the red button already, before it spreads.
persephone Bast a lot of schools across the country have closed for the flu. It has just been a bad year for it. I work in a school. We didn’t close, but we had a few weeks where we had a large number of students absent with the flu. Many of these were tested. Once a school gets to a certain percentage absent, they have to close.
My school in Manatee County is doing nothing about it besides extra hand sanitizer. My school are idiots.
No kissing you say. Sadly that’s totally covered 🙂
@JustLookAtIt8899 what is your species?
lmao
Same
@JustLookAtIt8899 I feel ya
Sadly that’s true I agree lol we are lonely ☹️
Why would a HEALTHCARE worker be taking international flights during an epidemic?! Zero brain cells in their head or what?
Maybe the worker already knew. He/she was terrified and tried to run away not realizing how dangerous it was.
Thing is, they believe they will not get infected. That the virus won’t get them. That said, they underestimate how contagious it is. Even professionals get infected despite masks and precautions.
I heard that the coronavirus can’t get you if you watch all the seasons of My Little Pony in one sitting.
TKO Brosnan it will be too late once people start taking this seriously.
Its called America people don’t have brains 🤦♀️ well come to the new world 🥳🎉
I’m pretty sure masks protect against standard and droplet precautions
@Frank Castle id rather use a mask that fits comfortably on my face because i work hard to get what they call a pay check so then i can use set assets that i need for my wellbeing so beings there’s a airborne virus that i can easily catch im a buy a mask that fits perfectly to protect my wellbeing
@THE GREAT JUEBABY T.G.J Gaming Channel a bandana is more comfortable than a mask
The mask wearing creates anxiety and that in turn creates a potential for panic.
THE GREAT JUEBABY T.G.J Gaming Channel lmfao
@THE GREAT JUEBABY T.G.J Gaming Channel They won’t do anything unless you have goggles too lol
I think maybe this virus has already spread asymptomatically during the holidays.
More like was introduced atmosphericly
Strong antibiotic which cure Corona virus : ginger-garlic-onion-apple-cider-vinegar-lemon-honey-coconut-basil sauce
That’s called the seasonal flu.
Yes! YES! Please God! Let this be true!
If you guys had ban all travelling this wouldn’t have escalated
You know the side that says everything is racist would shout its racist to stop immigrants from coming in even from highly infected countries.
Plague China is the only one doing anything, they have closed down just about everything, and the Oriental community have been wearing masks for years when they travel. Why is this country so racist. maybe this virus came from China so now we hate China. 911 happened and we r suppose to hate all Muslims? When we had the Hong Kong flu did we hate Hong Kong? HIV happened we hated Africa & gays. What is wrong with this country did it ever occur 2 anyone China was set up by N. Korea or Russia or even the USA. We all have chemical weapons. Maybe this is one of them.
Memcha Laishram it’s not the chinese fault man.
Remmber 2 or 3 others have got the viruse for every known case.so if 100 confirmed cases .means anothe 200 to 300 have got it walking about spreading it.
It is predicted that upwards of 70% of the population will get this

“Stop buying masks”?
“They’re not effective”?
LOL. Bunch of idots.
@sue b They are effective when used in conjunction with eye protection. Most people aren’t using that, just the mask, hence useless
no they need the masks themselves for the hospitals etc. not idiots they know what they are doing.
Tiny virus droplets can stick to dust particles that can be blown airborne into your eyes; so you need goggles too.
@Lynnette Broussard Paint respirators with a pre filter. They have to fit correctly. Lol so lynnette if you have a beard, like me you need to shave so it seals good. Your eyes need protected also. Military, trained in NBCW
ONLY USE MASKS IF YOU ARE SICK
If they would’ve stopped traveling from the beginning WE WOULDNT BE IN THIS MESS!! 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@Buknoychii Fiocchii well if I was over there I wouldnt think of traveling and risk of spreading it
@Richard Andrews it was easy. They barely restricted travel from the first month, all they did was put more screenings up and the health officials just said “we’re thinking about shutting down travel” but never did. So yes it is that easy
@Anastasia Zoldak ikr. Dumb Democrats always thinking politically when theres a crisis 🤦♂️
DKsaNn Kat the government created this virus
A lot of stupid going on in the comments.
Lol, yep. Coronavirus overhyped.
@Alkalite when has the flu or pneumonia ever shut down an entire country China is completely shut down no travel in people not going to work streets are empty the economy is collapsing over there they’ve already lost hundreds of billions of dollars and that’s over hyped
The US isn’t testing ENOUGH! Don’t take these confirmed numbers seriously. There are likely HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS more.
M Scott yeah i mean they are probably hiding the true statistics to keep people calm. also these are only confirmed cases and the welling period of it is 24 days so you could have it for 24 days and not even know
Definitely thousands. Seven people in my chemistry class were out with the flu.
Scott yer a joke men, Just to bring one thing in yer attention,, Is there any person, any person, 1 person, you knew who traveled to China, S.korea, Italy and Iran who wasn’t confirmed positive, please let me know? Younger people’s don’t develop the symptoms right away and they get through the screening process in place at Airports, It doesn’t mean that they aren’t infected. They are sending positive tested people back into the communities telling them to self isolate. It’s an Airborne Infection, it’s in air, water, soil, literally everything it came across,, it is spreading through sewer systems, Chinese even spraying inside sewer systems too, why you think they disinfecting Airports, Hospitals, even whole towns and cities in China?? Why??? They just don’t want to panic people, They’re still trying to figure out how virus is spreading at that pace..
@M Scott Well, I mean the Corona virus so far has spread faster then epidemics and currently is almost considered a pandemic by health standards. That’s the worry part
Natascha Craft Just in case you don’t know what I mean , is hoarding food , plugging up hospitals, medical and medicine prices go up , there are many ways people panic but rarely street running
Hey don’t buy masks they are useless…also we need those masks for doctors and nurses….
😂😂😂
How dumb do they think the public is?!
If you scream the coronavirus, coronavirus, go away song, it will disappear.
@Legends Never Die but if you say it 3 times into your bathroom mirror, it will appear!!!
@Nancy Beveridge Taylor oh no!!
@Legends Never Die 😁😁😁
They need masks anyways for other illnesses how dumb do you think you are?
Theory:
We all already have it but we haven’t showed symptoms yet.
Possible. I mistake illnesses for allergies all the time. Only time I really know is if I’m beyond tired (I have been,) have a fever (negative,) a cough (negative,) sore throat (negative.) Otherwise I chalk it up to allergies that I suffer from daily year round.
Like it’s the walking dead 😂
Chemtrails bro
I just thought of the walking dead…
“Mask is not effective.”
Good luck American
What about the 40 year old male that passed? He clearly isnt “elderly”. Does anyone know if he was healthy or had underlying health issues?
MOST ARE ELDERLY NOT ALL JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE YOUNG YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE
