    If Wuhan’s trajectory is any guide, this may get even worse in Italy for a while. Wuhan went into near total lockdown when there was less than 100 deaths *total*—and it took weeks to see any leveling. NYC, Seattle and who knows where here at similar risk. Don’t test; can’t know.https://twitter.com/larry_levitt/status/1239286979386208256 …

    Italy has reported 368 deaths from COVID-19 in the last day. These numbers are often hard to put in perspective. That's about one-fifth of deaths from all causes Italy typically has in a day, which is staggering.

        It will; and not just Italy. Rest of Europe will get a lot worse in these next days and US not far behind. :(

        It's staggering. It's also leading to a kind of death-news-fatigue here in the UK. We jumped from 11=>21=>35 in three days which is extraordinary but we're inured to it because of news from elsewhere and too busy strategising how to score toilet roll

        Not to be too cynical here, but it’s more than likely the Wuhan #’s are highly suspect. Your point remains, however. I am fearful we have *no* idea of what is in store for us. We’re not prepared physically ➡️ ventilators, bed, masks, gowns, beds, dr’s nurses...or mentally.

        Don't forget Italy locked down the towns where the outbreak first happened Feb 21. I'm reading new cases have slowed down there but they're still expecting waves in other parts of Italy.

        Even the idea of not having enough test kits available driving me nuts. Why is it being downplayed still? Has the US already adopted #herdimmunity without acknowledging it? 😖😖😖

        It is evident that there is no leadership coming from federal government. We are on our own and individual states need to accept it and expeditiously take further actions. #WHO should engage with them. #herdimmunity is #inhumane.
