Hellcats

I heard the same thing about tests. If we have 18k unreported that would put us at 36k+. That seems comparable. I have a lot of questions.

That was the number quoted yesterday, but not near 45K. How is TN getting that many tests?

TN has 3294 active cases vs KY 604 TN has tested 45k+, which is amazing, vs. KY 18k+ TN deaths 44 KY deaths 45

I just heard on the radio that KY's response was rated highest in nation. I think something is fishy with TN numbers. They sure have a lot of cases and nearly the same amount of deaths as KY. IF that is true the nation needs to get down there and see what is happening at Vandy.

That's strange and makes little sense. Why would KY's mortality rate be that high vs. TN? Does the TN stay at order impact?

I hope you're right, but Easter worries me in the Bible belt. New York may have this whipped, but I fear we may be just beginning.

Early on we had China and Iran to trust in this. Nope. This thing may be a rampant in China as it was 6 weeks ago.

Over 6k are home sick. All are not officers, but they are either caring for someone or have symptoms and haven’t been tested. What is the National Guard’s role as of now?

Our peak will be later than other states.

I agree, but only people who show symptoms get tested.

TN has 6+ million and KY has 4+ million. That doesn’t equal 50 %. Joe Diffie equals 8. This will get worse for the Volunteer state.

It’s a way of trivializing. Possibly a defense mechanism. It’s here. It’s real. We better take care of ourselves and our loved ones.

We just lost our first star: Joe Diffie. If you weren’t a country fan in the 1990’s he is the dude who did John Deere Green.

That doesn’t match what is going on since they just started to average 200+ deaths a day. Is there a greater consequence than death? Britain had some really controversial plans to start out with. I wonder if some of that resistance isn’t still around.

Unless doctors thought the cases were the flu or pneumonia. But I think you are correct in the spread. I think it is just getting here. The spread is exploding not because we have more tests, but people who have symptoms are being tested. We don’t have the tests for random testing yet.

So what if TN is wrong...they got three fun weeks, but thousands die. Heck of a trade off. If KY is wrong we just look stupid. That’s it. I’ll take the latter. Italy did little to start with and has had to go into complete lockdown and still can’t stop the spread. Happening in Spain right now.

American hardheadedness is primary to blame, and will be to blame for our slow reaction. But China’s secrecy contributed to this lackadaisical attitude. We all knew China didn’t report the correct numbers, and this week it was reported that truckloads of thousands of urns were delivered to funeral homes for families to pick up. One funeral home in Wuhan received up to 7000 urns to disperse. I want to think if we knew that 10k-100k Chinese people died we wouldn’t be more concerned and more active.

Some KY border folks have been sneaking over and eating in the TN restaurants over the past few weeks. No doubt dragging some infection back with them. Right now TN’s death count is an anomaly.

Wasn’t the early CDC test faulty? Also some labs are having some transfer issues. I know that was mentioned in Kentucky’s daily press conference one day this week. The lab system is more than likely unbelievably strained. Mistakes will happen.

Didn’t the 500k projection change the UK’s early “herd immunity” strategy? http://https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/experts-say-the-coronavirus-outlook-has-worsened-but-the-trajectory-is-still-unclear/ Projections all over the place, but as of few days ago an expert consensus had the US at 246,000 deaths. I want to say that’s high, but I don’t know the way our cases have skyrocketed.

Really? This has hit primarily first world countries and grown 10 fold in one month. We aren’t close to a projected peak. I can only imagine the toll in the poverty stricken portions of the world.

I pray we stay under that flu number, but mathematically I can’t see it. 1 month ago we were at 2500 or so deaths. Now 25k and not expected to peak until May.

We may look back and see this crisis was overblown, but this report seems sketchy like a conspiracy theory report. IMO, it's irresponsible and dangerous to publish something like this at this time. If a person was living with their conditions, but contracted the virus and then died, they died from the virus.
