Quoted from iceman44:51 in the US out of 2340 reported cases thus far. 37 come from the State of Washington, 19 from the nursing home. FACTS, FACTS, FACTS
While I agree with you on some of the hysteria issues, the numbers are complete BS. The testing that we have now is joke. Thats why the numbers are irrelevant. IMHO No one really knows how many people have/had the virus at this point. It is my opinion that this thing is going to run its course here. That being said, I agree with you that this thing is going to calm down within the next 4 weeks because: There is a very promising drug call Remdesivir that is going through trials right now by a company called Gilead Sciences. While the antiviral drug has not finished it's trial, the company believes that it will pass with flying colors and is mass producing it. Remdesivir stops the spread of the virus in the body. Originally It was used to slow Ebola. It will be a game changer once it is released. That coupled with the new tests that are also waiting for FDA approval (expedited) that are blood tests, that can confirm in minutes instead of days will be huge. There is hope around the corner.
