Thanks for your clarification, I though you meant that 2 million would die out of 10 million, but your 6% is still a disaster if correct, I have a hard time believing that,,, the historic death rate according to the CDC boss is around 01% which is much more realistic, particularly here in the US where we have very outstanding medical care... and lots of money and resources to fight corona

Are you serious? Then why are US hospitals disappearing?

 
this is interesting, inside

all mask are sold out, so even if people want to wear it, they can't. i know alot chinese and chinese descendants bought alot mask in jan and send back to china. i think i bought at least 200 mask in jan for my in-law to take back and given to their family members. i probably should save few for my family but now its out of stock everywhere, same with hand sanitizer, same with toilet and tissue paper. this morning eggs start going down pretty fast in grocery store too, everybody is stocking up on essential. oh rice and flour is gone too at local stores. its crazy, never seen so many empty shelves in costco and kroger.

Your local costco ran out of basic items maybe due to this guy got in before you and everyone else!

Some positive news today.

Antibodies for COVID-19 found at Erasmus MC and Utrecht Universitiy in the Netherlands.

"As far as we know, this is the very first antibody that blocks the infection. And there is a good chance that it will also become a medicine on the market. Finding something like this is very rare."

"“If you were to take this as a patient, it is expected – only an expectation right now – that the infection will be stopped. And so it can give the patient an opportunity to recover. But prevention is of course better than a cure: a real solution is therefore a vaccine, others are working on that. However, developing a vaccine can easily take two years."

Frank Grosveld, Erasmus MC.
