Marco:
Lowered GDP kills people too. Has anyone given an explanation for why Japan was able to weather the storm so well? Are they lying? Are they genetically less prone to get/spread it? What?

Or perhaps closing schools and lots of people wearing masks and observing government advice for hand washing is really "all" that was necessary? Increased hygiene seemed to be what nipped flu in the bud in Japan this season.

Many NZers have been pleading with the government to move hard and fast.
Fortunately they have listened.
We can live through the economic impact, we do not want a high death toll to go with it.

That isn't a lockdown, just progressive closures similar/identical to those being taken elsewhere (Australia, UK, etc). When you can't move freely, thats lockdown.

--- Quote from: engrguy42 on March 22, 2020, 06:38:45 pm ---drussel, where do you get your numbers from? CDC doesn't report on weekends, and WHO's data is from Friday the 20th. And both of those agree on a figure of 15k.

I think it's important to choose a single and arguably reliable source rather than grabbing data from whatever pops up. I may be wrong, but in the US I would assume the final authority is the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and I assume they forward that to WHO as official data, which is why WHO data seems to lag 1 day behind.

I have been getting my latest-case data from what is generally considered the most authoritative worldwide source, the CSSE aggregation page at Johns Hopkins University....

https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6

You can download their daily aggregate data in .CSV format via their github page:

I will admit right now that I was incorrect in my previous post on the number of new US cases that have been logged so far today.  I had inadvertently added the last two rows from New York and New Jersey twice (which I assume were essentially the results from yesterday's tests,) so my numbers were skewed up 4500+ cases....

The number added today in the US is "only" more like 9000 new cases, not the 13-something thousand that I thought it was when I quickly saw the inaccurate totals at the bottom of my spreadsheet when I hastily posted that comment before running out the door to one remaining jobsite, without actually fully importing the latest datasets...

Sorry...  My bad...

My working number now stands at 33,276 confirmed infected in the USA.

I'm sure the CDC will update their official numbers to reflect these latest state-by-state disclosures at some point in the next 24-72 hours or so.
