6x new cases in one week and all that other crap does NOT sound good. And 1/3 'epicenter' states aren't large.

Didn't I read they just called out the national guard?

Disgruntled workers would probably try to infect corporate hierarchy as well. It's notable that corporations are even worse then Trump, since it's their calls that affect their workers, no matter who is president.

And I'm not a Trump fan.

Did they mention that testing efforts have increased exponentially, thus more cases are going to be diagnosed?

Is that why in the last week 6x more cases popped up?

Most likely, since a case can't be called a case without testing. Just exhibiting symptoms doesn't mean you have COVID-19. And this bump was expected as more tests were being manufactured and more widely distributed across the country.

Tell that to anyone. You cough, sneeze, or even have a 1/10 above normal, you got COVID....no other reason exists.

The 6 foot CDC distancing is bullshit. Common sense is not. Cough away or cough down. Cough into sleeve, or exit. Even then coughing isn't necessarily COVID or even flu. Been a while since I had flu....I don't remember coughing.

The virus is spreading very fast in Spain - the second worst-hit European country after Italy.

On Tuesday, the health ministry announced that the number of deaths had risen by 514 in the past 24 hours - a daily record.

A total of 2,696 people have now died and there are 39,637 confirmed cases.

Prevention is an order of magnitude superior to treatment.

And it's not set in stone. You can't shut the whole world down. You can minimize it but no more.

My job has NO excuse for missing work, lest you lose your job and your HEALTH INSURANCE in the costliest healthcare country in the world (USA)

I got no other choice. But not all is lost. You can file for extended medical leave. It's not completely broken but the 1970s has it easy apparently. Why could you get a college tuition on a part time fast food job, but not for any other reason but crippling debt now?
