Listened to Dr Drew podcast yesterday, in which he repeatedly stated that the US is doing the right things, social distancing is the right move, and everything will be okay. The Italian deaths are due to Italy not being prepared, and the US is very well prepared and taking the correct steps
His angry take was that the media should be thrown down the well for the levels of panic they have encouraged
His opinion was that if the number of cases is less than six figures at the end of the week, we'll be fine and if they are below 20,000 things are awesome
His opinion was that hospital overwhelming may happen but will be entirely localized in outbursts
Drew survived H1N1, so you know he is badass already.

There is a new treatment for this, "chloroquine" which they say is being proven effective
China is claiming no new cases today - but don't trust China, China is asshoe (see date at bottom of the tweet)
