... the USA may go ahead of Italy soon in terms of confirmed cases


Considering Italy is about the size of Arizona with a 5th of our
population, that is not surprising at all.
We might actually have the highest percentage of those infected in the
developed world before this is over and you can blame it on our
freedom. Americans tend to do exactly what they tell us not to do. I
said a week or two ago. if they wanted to keep those people over in
Broward in their homes, they should have announced a mandatory
evacuation. Then people would have locked themselves inside and said
"we ain't going".
New York is no better. They locked down the city but they left the
airports open, so anyone who could, got on a plane and scattered
across the country. When they land, it is "scout's honor" that they
will quarantine for 2 weeks. Yeah right.
This virus is going to spread and I don't see how we are going to stop
it. The best we can do is try to protect ourselves. We have to assume
everyone we see is infected and every surface is contaminated.

Well, we do have five times the population and almost half of our cases are in
New York.


Not anymore, they are coming to an airport near you. Planes leaving
New York are fully booked from what I hear on the news.

Our friend who lives in DeKalb, IL just flew home. She spends the winter
with her sister in California. Figured air travel would shut down and not
be able to return home. Said there were 33 people on the flight and
thinks from the talk most were airline employees. So those full flights
from NYC are very likely being Coronavirus Petri dish.
