Biophysicist Levitt says Corona is slowing down

Not sure what the point of that "just" is supposed to be. It is an atheistic, dictatorial state with worldwide impact. We have recently seen how regional input goes—it is forcefully put down, as Hong Kong has already felt its brutality firsthand.

But they are certainly far more savvy than the Soviet system was. They are easily playing us for the fools we have been. If things continue as they have, their economic kung fu will be the downfall of the West, all the while fueled and financed by the West.

 

I just got off a group call with management of our medical practice.

Voluntary layoffs, 20% cuts in pay and hours (to include exempt employees), and reassignments for at least the next couple of weeks.
Business income reduction of 80%

“Following from a science perspective, as testing becomes more available and ramps up we expect to be surprised at how prevalent the virus is in the community. Where we now see areas reporting 300 cases we will see the number climb to 3 or 4 thousand.”​

Future plans are still uncertain, this is a week to week adjustment.

Yes, I just came across a graphic showing case rates following the first 100 confirmed. The problem with this sort of data is that testing does not represent cases, only cases detected by testing. Since testing is unevenly applied, meaningful comparisons are nigh impossible. The true number of cases and case rates are, and will remain unknown.

 

Every cloud has a silver lining.
Coronavirus pandemic leading to huge drop in air pollution

I'm sorry there's no map for the USA. I'm sure you will find one somewhere on line if you're interested.
This will undoubtedly save lives in China. When my daughter was living in Xian, the pollution levels were sometimes 200 times higher than W.H.O. guidelines.

 

I certainly hope that's true, and I think it may be.
One of the strategies of the Johnson government has been not to lock down immediately, but gradually in the hope that more younger, fitter people would get it and become immune. He has received quire a lot of flak for that, but when I looked at the graphs last night it did look as if the increase in infections was tailing off and that we might fare better than Italy or Spain.

However, time will tell. What I really want to know is whether God is using this pandemic to cause folk, especially in Europe, to look to Christ.

 

You are not alone

 

Is this an act of the Holy Spirit?!?

 

A quick update from the UK. Nothing said on the news about the increase in infections slowing down. All we get is why isn't the Gov't doing more?
Personally, I'm in awe or what has been done to counter the virus here. Stuff seems to be being pulled out of thin air, and a huge new hospital in London will open next week. But if the infection rates keep going up, whatever is done is not going to be enough.
