One of my brothers has been furloughed by his $EMPLOYER for a few months, despite being in a position where he has to remain available for (unpaid) work, so that there would be an operation to reopen if and when the #COVID-19 outbreak is in control enough for his industry to be allowed to open.

Today, he sent some of us siblings a pre-announcement of his upcoming business venture.

1. California surpasses New York state in confirmed virus cases
  
  from KRCR
  
  SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California has surpassed New York for the most coronavirus cases in the country, surpassing 409,000 after setting a record on Tuesday for the state's most confirmed new cases in a single day since the start of the pandemic. The surge of cases comes as California, the nation's most populous state with nearly 40 million people, reopened much of its economy in May. Since then, Gov.

I was on the phone with S a couple of nights ago. She needed someone to talk to because her dad is hospitalized. His test results have not come back yet, but they suspect #COVID-19. Her younger brother, who had recently moved from #NC to #GA to take care of him, had been tested and is on self-quarantine.

While we were still on the phone, her older brother (I don’t know what state he’s in) texted her to inform her he was being tested for #2019-nCoV at a hospital emergency room.

She did not say whether it was possible that either her mom or herself had been exposed, but last I heard, her parents still lived in the same house.

This is what happens when governors refuse to do their jobs (and refuse to allow mayors to do theirs).

I see a lot of trash-talking about the US response to the #COVID-19 pandemic. The truth is, our national response could have been quite a bit better—starting by being honest about masks (“Wearing masks is proven to provide some benefit during respiratory virus outbreaks, but they are not a perfect or complete solution. We also don’t even have enough N95 or surgical masks for the medical community, so non-medical people should make your own masks for now.”)—and by reacting more quickly to give emergency production orders for medicines, PPE, ventilator machines, etc. Foremost among federal failures is President #Trump’s refusal to wear a mask until very recently, and his encouragement of rebellion against health-related restrictions. We now have people saying mask-wearing is “stupid” and ineffective, and that it causes psychological problems, and I would guess that the overwhelming majority of those people are his supporters.

But having read the national emergency plan and portions of the Stafford Disaster Relief Act, I know that the primary responsibility is with the states. I even question whether the federal government is allowed to do some of the things that needed (and still need) doing. This is a large country, with around 330 million people in it. Most of the most effective measures need to be applied at the point of most need, not pushed down from the top.

Not that you want 50 states, the District of Columbia, and some territories competing for supplies in an emergency. But the states should have taken the lead early on with behavioral and business restrictions (the lockdowns, are but one example of how they might have handled it), instead of waiting until they had out-of-control outbreaks and then panicking.

And, yes, I agree with @guizzy ... the USA 🇺🇸 has a huge number of deaths from #2019-nCoV ( the old name for the disease caused by the #coronavirus #SARS-CoV-2 ). But when you weight that by population (as one should), the US is not the worst-affected country. We’re not the best, either. That honor goes to the People’s Republic of China 🇨🇳, with the world’s largest population and a few thousand reported deaths. (And their numbers are increasingly believed to have been manipulated; with reports that the outbreak 😷 started in November, and only in late December / early January did they take action ... and that they’ve had continuing smaller outbreaks since the time it was controlled in Hubei Province.)

@geniusmusing This is almost certainly an attempt to manipulate and censor the data.

I'd guess the order also applies to "P&I" data in general, so #pneumonia and #influenza, severe #colds which lead to hospitalization or death, and #COVID-19.

Over 100K new #COVID-19 cases confirmed in the US over the weekend. (And remember that for at least part of the country, testing is restricted due to supply shortages, so the number infected could be much more.) Yay for the "my freedoms" types! And, despite contrary statements from researchers, protesters may be part of this surge.

Has anyone else noticed how often this pattern is repeated?

1: It's not that serious. I'm not worried about #coronavirus, and I'm not going to wear a mask.
2 (often weeks later): I'm infected with #COVID-19, but I'll be fine.
3: (Person is hospitalized. Sometimes a socnet post or two by a relative will indicate how ill the person is.)
4 (also often weeks later): Please donate to the GoFundMe for the family of so and so, who died of coronavirus.
