Covid-19 is turning out to be a very different disease than influenza. That’s why doctors in Wuhan raised the alarm about it back in December. They knew it was different and not responding to treatments that work with influenza. At the time they did not know how different it was.
WC- yeah, and now we know that is bull. It is a respiratory virus that will NEVER go away. It will continue to affect those with preexisting conditions and that is all.
It is very interesting that until today, this website presented the number of new cases as the difference between the total number of cases today minus the number of cases yesterday. This happened absolutely every single day since March.
I am curious why today the numbers are different, much smaller than the difference. If you subtract 14411 – 14212 you end up with 199 cases today, exactly as reported on Worldometer.

Covid-19 attacks far more than the lungs.
A more recent development is the Bradykinin hypothesis. https://elemental.medium.com/a-supercomputer-analyzed-covid-19-and-an-interesting-new-theory-has-emerged-31cb8eba9d63
We are spending hundreds of millions, possibly billions, of dollars trying to understand and defeat Covid-19.
@Omega – I suspect like many of us, the mayor of Claycord is suffering from COVID-19 fatigue. You are correct in that the total increased by 199, not 145.
@WC Resident
Sorry but Wuhan didn’t raise any alarm until late January.
Chinese Doctors tried to raise the alarm early on but they began disappearing, either dead or winding up in prison.
Meanwhile the Chinese government along with the corrupt World Health Organization was busy telling the world lies about the virus, down playing the severity and claiming it was not transmittable via human to human contact. IE: they claimed there was nothing to worry about unless you were eating bat soup.
@Dr Jellyfinger
Sorry but that is wrong. Yes 1 person tried to say something but then happen to die. The WHO and Chinese Gov didn’t say any lies or down play anything because they didn’t say anything. 2 very big differences. They tried to hide it until news broke out. I think you are thinking about what Trump did. Lied to the people. Down played this and acted like this would blow over.
Sorry Me. TDS has rotted your brain. China has been lying since the very beginning, and WHO has been covering for them,
@ Me ~ Sorry but YOU are wrong. They were not all doctors, but a total of 5 people were picked up and wound up missing or dead.
They were the doctor, activists and journalists.
You are completely wrong about Chinese Govt. and W.H.O. coverup.
You don’t have to take my word for it.
All that info is readily available online if you can’t remember it when it was reported… look it up.
Oh…. but the delay was Trump’s fault!
About those school closures… https://www.sfchronicle.com/health/article/Here-s-how-many-coronavirus-cases-have-been-15544635.php
It’s quite clear the risk to young children is near zero AND childcare centers have not been driving the spread, where they are open. Elementary kids should be able to be in school, period. Look past the waffly tone of the journalist who wrote the article and read what the experts quoted are saying, and the data they cite. Of the very modest number of cases reported that are associated with childcare centers in CA, 80 were adults, not kids. And the typical transmission pattern involving kids is that a kid gets it from an older family member at home.
We’ve gone way into tunnel vision by this point. Covid is real but not the only important danger in the world, and non-infection with Covid is only one of the many important good things in the world. Ruining young kids’ development is going to look really, really bad a year from now, and much worse ten years from now when the effects of this show up as these kids go through adolescence.
Sorry, that should say 80 percent*
