Situation in the U.S. on April 13 at 8:00 pm EDT:

Notice: the Johns Hopkins website seems to have jumped the shark and posted 10,000 more new cases than the other 2 websites I linked to. So I took the liberty of taking 10,000 off from their number of new cases

It's underreported in many countries that are hit badly. They can't be bothered to deal with cases in aged care facilities as it isn't their priority now.

Culturally, old people in China still prefer to live with their children. Assisted living is just beginning to gain some acceptances. Otherwise, China's confirmed cases and death toll would be much higher than the 82K+ and 3.2K+, respectively.

If you say so bro. Just keep sucking that Trump juice

lol i hate trump, but unless you got proof, otherwise its in your mind.

yes there are news article been racism usually from right wing or smaller media outlet, but there are also alot article criticizing them. Take Trump calling china virus for example it generated alot hate toward Asian in US, almost every news and health official criticizing it, eventually Trump drop it.

Trump is calling "Wuhan virus" again this morning.

It sucks that Wuhan people already suffered so much and it's still Wuhan virus in TW, Indian, and other media.

It's the same set of characters selling the the same narrative. Very effective tactic for the gullible. Sadly this includes mainstream MSM,

Sorry if this was posted here or already solved. But found this on Reddit about the perspective of an African living in China and the current racial situation.

If mods don't like this then I will remove it.

I've had a somewhat troubling thought that perhaps the medical experts here can help me address (and hopefully dispel): just how effective would a vaccine be? We have new flu vaccines every year yet plenty of people who take them still get sick with influenza. SARS-CoV-2 is at least as infectious and has an order of magnitude higher lethality; could a vaccine bring that lethality and danger down to flu levels?

A lot of that danger comes from the fact that SARS-CoV-2 is a novel virus that no one has any immunity to. Once widespread immunity is attained through vaccination or surviving infection, would the virus get demoted to just another component of the seasonal flu milieu?

Who knows at this point, the more people it infects, the more quickly it can evolve. The quicker we get to a good vaccine, the more likely we can control future outbreaks.

The quicker the world is lifted out of poverty, the better we can prevent future outbreaks. But right now the goal seems to be isolating China and sending it back to the dark ages.
