Coronavirus roundup: cases skyrocket to more than 530,000 in the US


[NYPOST] The US has more than 530,000 coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
 cases with every state now under an emergency disaster declaration for the first time in history, according to the latest figures.

The tally from John Hopkins University also showed the corpse count in the country surpassing 20,000 on Sunday.

The rising number of infections comes after President Trump approved Saturday a major disaster declaration for Wyoming, ensuring that now all 50 states have federal funding available to fight the pandemic.

The declarations can also help state governments coordinate with federal resources such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Army Corps of Engineers.

The US led the world Sunday for the number of confirmed COVID-19, followed by Spain and Italia, according to John Hopkins University.

#5 Coronavirus cases skyrocket to more than 530,000 in the US

Yeah, it's a skyrocket, all right, but it reached it apex April 4, and has been falling since then. With a couple of updrafts.

Sensationalize much?

#8 We're all going to be exposed. That was never in question. Flattening the curve was always only intended to spread things out enough to avoid overwhelming medical services, not to change the area under the curve (total number who get it).
