some of the deaths are under reported, for obvious means, but the infection rate grew by a over a thousand from 9am to 7:30pm

1. Interesting link.

Bookmarked. Thx!

[Demonaut]

24. is it still active for you?, mine stopped showing data at approx 10 pm mst

[MontanaMama]

29. It looks to be active to me.

I’m not seeing the time stamp you’re referring to. It is an informative website.

2. I am not getting on the bandwagon.

Stupid people are already spreading BS on social media and it is not helping. In San Diego someone posted a fake newspaper report that there was a case at a certain high school and half the students believed it and spread the fake word on Fakebook.

4. ok, that's your opinion, I'm stating facts

[Ms. Toad]

9. There's a big difference between acknowledging it is growing exponentially at this point

with about a 3.5 day generation - and being appropriately concerned about what that means if we can't contain it

and spreading bald-faced lies.

19. OP is talking facts, You are talking about something else.

[OliverQ]

3. Honestly, I'm so depressed these days I don't

even care if I get the virus.

[Demonaut]

6. we need you, don't go sadly into the night

[Aristus]

21. I do. Look after yourself.

And if you get the symptoms, go to your medical provider right away.

[littlemissmartypants]

28. Don't give up OliverQ!

Help is on the way!

[MontanaMama]

30. I care.

Please be gentle with yourself. These are hard days to be sure. We need all of us in this fight...including you.

[Corgigal]

5. I'm monitoring

because we have the dumbest person on earth as president.

Not freaking, but mankind is kind of due. Just hope not in our lifetimes.

[Demonaut]

7. culling, natural or man-made, it's where we are heading

[Demonaut]

25. is it still active?

[NJCher]

8. graphic portrayals like this

fascinate me. Thanks so much for posting this.

[Midnightwalk]

10. Caution is good for this

But a good sign is the spread over the past few days seem to be slow.

For example in the us we held at 5 for days and increases just today to 6. Not that the us matters more but it’s what i look at.

Looks like another couple of countries but didn’t spot which ones. I use that link too.

Psa: preventions from the cdc. Just google cdc coronavirus preventions

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

Stay home when you are sick.

Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.

Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

18. Addendum:

Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Then immediately wash or sanitize your hands, every time. If you have no tissue, cough into your sleeve at the inside of the elbow or upper arm.

11. The common influenza

Results in many, many, more infections and deaths. Is this being overhyped?

[Kaleva]

17. Flu is common in China but they've never quarantined over 50 million people 'cause of it.

[jeffreyi]

20. Point.

[2naSalit]

12. that's a rapid increase in a short time...

duly noted. I'm in a low population area but we have tourists and a large portion of them come from Asia.

[greenjar_01]

13. 8,000 Americans have died of flu this winter

Context matters.

[Coventina]

14. What the dismissers are failing to note is that more people have died than recovered.

Currently, that of dead is: 213
Recovered: 187

If that isn't worrying, I don't know what is.

[Baclava]

15. Or 10,000 people had a mild infection and never even knew it or reported it

200 people in China died, no deaths have occurred outside China, no need to panic

Just be thankful you are not trapped in one of those quarantined cities for weeks, that would be scary

[dewsgirl]

27. Exactly this, more people need to take note of the fact,

the death rate has surpassed the recovery rate. These flu comparisons are not helping.

[Rockher]

16. Don't Panic

It's true. However my response to the virus should be: Don’t Panic.

[gopiscrap]

22. welcome to DU

[Maru Kitteh]

23. Thanks for that link to the Johns Hopkins map. Very informative.

[dewsgirl]

26. I have been following it very closely, our media is downplaying

it to avoid a panic, IMO. I know how to differentiate real from fake news when it comes to politics, but this is much harder.
That's a whole lot of red and growing.
