Then I was right since GMT is now +4 rather than +5 as of before March 8. And the early departures by 1:20, 1:30 mean they where early by 20 or 30 minutes 
Now I can sleep.

Well, except my flight left on time when it was supposed to, and didn’t arrive late by an hour 
Still joking, but maybe not. Your flight was on time by ET
Maybe the clocks had the virus
This is the site I like to watch, death count. Spiking now

But some were asymptomatic?
They can. And they can have a fever and be walking around shedding the virus too.
As others posted the order came down over an hour ago (I heard it was coming yesterday).
+1 and 19 dead in CA
I realize math isn’t everyone’s strong suit, but as a nation:
- Sat we had 60 dead
- Tue we had 100 dead
- Today we have 217 dead
The rate is accelerating, the Federal response has been shamefully insufficient, so the fifth largest economy is closed in an attempt to slow the spread.
This certainly may be less fatal than the flu, but that infection rate is slowed significantly by immunity and timing. We can all speculate whether people have had this virus or not, we don’t know because we are only testing the most obvious cases, and we can see from clusters of infections how fast it spreads. In SoCal we had nearly 70 people infected in 2 families from 1 person. In South Korea I recommend reading about “patient 31” who had a fever, wasn’t sent to a fever clinic (went to lunch) and infected 1,100 people.
The fun’s just starting. Europe asked Amazon to downsample all the streaming to save bandwidth.

Here is today’s “Sobering Math by the Bat” installment:
China has a population of 1.4 billion. They have 3,250 deaths from 80,900 cases. Italy has a population of 60 million, or 4.2% of China’s population. They have surpassed China’s death total with 3,400 deaths and an alarming increase today with ~427 dying. That’s roughly one soul every 17 seconds or so.
So forgive those of us who take this pretty seriously. If the death rate gets that fast in here it will affect each of us.

Because China did not really care about one’s freedoms. They did what was necessary to stop the spread. Who’s really ready to make sacrifices?

Are there any in the US?
Any what?
I don’t believe China. I think their infections and death rate are much higher. They are trying to save face by under reporting. The same is happening in Japan.

Not surprised one bit by CA oder. The economy is in the trash can no matter what you do at this point. Might as well stop the virus and take a long vacation.

So one vote that China was extreme to stop spread AND they lied and their numbers are worse.
My thinks it’s time for a poll…

They do it with economic data all the time…why not save face with this too?
This should be us also, but we would rather have a war of words with them
