Semi-OT: Coronavirus (COVID-19) Discussion Thread V (Read Post 1 & FAQ)
Posted: Mon Mar 23, 2020 1:34 pm
A new topic, as we enter a settimana cruciale --- that is "crucial week" in Italy. Full lockdown March 11. They need to see visible results of their sacrifices over the following days. The curve needs to come down. Spain is in a worse trajectory than Italy was at the same point.
The US will see a pike in cases as tests ramp up and are more available. Restrictive measures to be applied all across the country. Suggested read, it is the job of each one of us to understand what we're dealing with and then passing on the info to others who just do not have the same access to info as we do.
We're seeing more and more countries, from all continents, wake up to the reality of having to contain the spread.
We need to commend everyone for contributing to a good discussion.
