This virus is MORE dangerous then they are telling us

A friend told me that his daughter is a nurse in my town, and she said unless you work in a hospital, you have no idea how bad this is.

I like this site for the most up to date numbers:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
They seem to be the quickest to update and other sources agree to their numbers. Obviously the integrity of the data is only as good as the integrity of the nation reporting it.
With Spain starting to look more like Italy, there are some patterns that are starting to emerge. Both of them now have over 1000 cases/1 million people. It appears that (for them at least) somewhere around the 800/900 per 1 million was the tipping point where the system got overwhelmed. The death rates for countries with 500 or less cases/1 million are all less than 5%. Which suggests that it isn't the virus itself which is more dangerous - rather it's the overwhelming of the system that is the biggest problem. Which is exactly what "they" have been telling us.
I don't know what to make of Switzerland, which currently has a rate of 1259 cases/1 million but thus far has only a death rate of 1.4% (153 deaths out of 10,897 cases). They are a relatively small country though so perhaps just too small of a sample size.
The US currently stands at 196 cases/1 million IF (and it's a huge if) you believe that the reported numbers are accurate (which doesn't seem possible given the lack of testing until recently). The "real" number is almost certainly higher but how much higher is anyone's guess. But I think the point is that we need to try like hell to stay under that 800/900 per million mark.
This also suggests that - unsurprisingly - this is a far bigger issue for the big cities/population centers than it is for the rural areas. Which, as time goes on, is just going to widen the gulf between those who think we need more stringent restrictions and those who think we need to "get back to normal".

I prefer actual reported numbers as opposed to projections/algorithm/analytics........

CDC recommending hospital staff use bandanas when masks run out. Hospitals are asking the public to sew masks. Here is a physician responding:
Please don't tell me that in the richest country in the world in the 21st century, I'm supposed to work in a fictionalized Soviet-era disaster zone and fashion my own face mask out of cloth because other Americans hoard supplies for personal use and so-called leaders sit around in meetings hearing themselves talk. I ran to a bedside the other day to intubate a crashing, likely COVID, patient. Two respiratory therapists and two nurses were already at the bedside. That's 5 N95s masks, 5 gowns, 5 face shields and 10 gloves for one patient at one time. I saw probably 15-20 patients that shift, if we are going to start rationing supplies, what percentage should I wear precautions for?
Make no mistake, the CDC is loosening these guidelines because our country is not prepared. Loosening guidelines increases healthcare workers' risk but the decision is done to allow us to keep working, not to keep us safe. It is done for the public benefit - so I can continue to work no matter the personal cost to me or my family (and my healthcare family). Sending healthcare workers to the front line asking them to cover their face with a bandana is akin to sending a soldier to the front line in a t-shirt and flip flops.
I don't want talk. I don't want assurances. I want action. I want boxes of N95s piling up, donated from the people who hoarded them. I want non-clinical administrators in the hospital lining up in the ER asking if they can stock shelves to make sure that when I need to rush into a room, the drawer of PPE equipment I open isn't empty. I want them showing up in the ER asking "how can I help" instead of offering shallow "plans" conceived by someone who has spent far too long in an ivory tower and not long enough in the trenches. Maybe they should actually step foot in the trenches.
I want billion-dollar companies like 3M halting all production of any product that isn't PPE to focus on PPE manufacturing. I want a company like Amazon, with its logistics mastery (it can drop a package to your door less than 24 hours after ordering it), halting its 2-day delivery of 12 reams of toilet paper to whoever is willing to pay the most in order to help get the available PPE supply distributed fast and efficiently in a manner that gets the necessary materials to my brothers and sisters in arms who need them.
I want Proctor and Gamble, and the makers of other soaps and detergents, stepping up too. We need detergent to clean scrubs, hospital linens and gowns. We need disinfecting wipes to clean desk and computer surfaces. What about plastics manufacturers? Plastic gowns aren't some high-tech device, they are long shirts/smocks...made out of plastic. Get on it. Face shields are just clear plastic. Nitrile gloves? Yeah, they are pretty much just gloves...made from something that isn't apparently Latex. Let's go. Money talks in this country. Executive millionaires, why don't you spend a few bucks to buy back some of these masks from the hoarders, and drop them off at the nearest hospital.
I love biotechnology and research but we need to divert viral culture media for COVID testing and research. We need biotechnology manufacturing ready and able to ramp up if and when treatments or vaccines are developed. Our Botox supply isn't critical, but our antibiotic supply is. We need to be able to make more plastic ET tubes, not more silicon breast implants.
Let's see all that. Then we can all talk about how we played our part in this fight. Netflix and chill is not enough while my family, friends and colleagues are out there fighting. Our country won two world wars because the entire country mobilized. We out-produced and we out-manufactured while our soldiers out-fought the enemy. We need to do that again because make no mistake, we are at war, healthcare workers are your soldiers, and the war has just begun

Why is it that New York the hardest hit state so far has all the PPE it needs?
Ask the great Cuomo how he got them.......

More than 100 national security professionals urge Trump to invoke Defense Production Act

Again New York got all the PPE' s it needs. Forcing companies to make something they're unfamiliar with will not solve the problem.
