See Worldwide map: Note that Africa has very few cases and deaths, especially in the areas where Quinine, the anti-malaria drug is used frequently! This is the basis of the drug, Hydroxychloroquine, that Trump is fast-tracking the FDA trials to get to the U.S. population as quickly as the House lets the pork out of the relief bill. We have to save lives before we build windmills. Relevant Information: https://globalrumblings.blogspot.com/2020/03/clinical-study-finds-possible-cure-for.html

Live tracker: How many coronavirus cases have been reported in each U.S. state?
Using data from the COVID Tracking Project, we’re following how each state is responding to COVID-19.
"The data isn’t perfect. Since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hasn’t yet begun publicly releasing the number of people who have been tested, The COVID Tracking Project is pulling data from state health departments, which can vary in the way they report tests and infections."
The White House Correspondents Association said one of its members is suspected of having Covid-19, something that could put Donald Trump’s daily press briefings at risk - or at least raise the possibility of them being done remotely.
Donald Trump asked the country not to blame Asian Americans. Reiterating a Tweet of his from earlier in the day, Trump at a White House press briefing said: “It’s very important that we protect our Asian American community in the US and all around the world. They’re amazing people and the spreading of the virus is not their fault in any way, shape or form.”
Antonio Guterres, the United Nations secretary general, has appealed for an immediate global ceasefire, calling on an end to all armed conflicts so that the world can instead focus on fighting Coronavirus.
The UK was placed under lockdown. Boris Johnson will order police to enforce a strict coronavirus lockdown, with a ban on gatherings of more than two people and strict limits on exercise, as he told the British public: “You must stay at home.”
Japan’s government is negotiating with the International Olympic Committee to postpone the Tokyo Olympic Games by a maximum one year, the Sankei newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Global recoveries passed 100,000 but the pandemic ‘is accelerating’. The World Health Organization said it had taken 67 days from the first reported case to reach the first 100,000 cases, 11 days for the second 100,000 cases, and only four for the third 100,000 cases.
UK deaths reach 335 and Britons abroad told to come home. The Foreign Office urged as many as a million Britons on holiday or business trips abroad to return to the UK immediately.
Italy registered a smaller day-to-day increase in new coronavirus cases for the second day. The death toll from the outbreak grew by 602 to 6,078, the head of the Civil Protection Agency said. While that is an 11% increase, it is the smallest nominal rise since last Thursday.
The first UK clinical trial enrolled patients. Researchers from the University of Oxford launched a clinical trial to test the effects of potential drug treatments for patients admitted to hospital with the virus. There are currently no specific treatments for the coronavirus, but it is possible that existing drugs used for other conditions may have some benefits.
New York state confirmed 20,000 infections. The governor, Andrew Cuomo, said the state had 5,707 new cases, meaning it has confirmed 20,875 in total.
Panama confirmed the death one of the youngest victims of the virus, a 13-year-old girl. Medical experts have been trying to drum home the warning that, while older people and those with underlying conditions are at greater risk, they are not the only ones who need to take precautionary measures.
Denmark extended its lockdown. The nationwide restrictions will now last until 13 April.
Russia may be forced to put off a public vote on amendments allowing Vladimir Putin to hold office until 2036. The Kremlin has not rescheduled the 22 April vote, but the prospect was explicitly acknowledged by Putin’s spokesman.
Agreed Erin, I thought the first questions should have been; How many have caught it, how many have it currently and how many have died from it. Instead he rudely interrupts her and she barely finishes a sentence, but she also says very little. I did a Google search and found an article that said in the last 9 months there have been 221 cases in 27 states of this very bad bacteria that medicine doesn't kill. Here is info from a good article
In recent years, antibiotic resistance has risen to dangerous levels and has become a growing public health crisis. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 2 million Americans become infected with germs resistant to antibiotics each year and more than 23,000 die from these infections.
Now, a new government study finds more grim news. Researchers report that nationwide testing uncovered 221 instances of unusual resistance in the so-called "nightmare bacteria" — the dangerous germ carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), which can kill if it gets into the bloodstream, urinary tract or lungs.
Infections of this kind are "virtually untreatable with modern medicine," CDC Principal Deputy Director Dr. Anne Schuchat said in a press briefing Tuesday.
CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook reports that the death rate can be as high as 50 percent.
"For the first time in 2017 there was a nationwide survey and they found that infections from these kinds of bacteria were more common than expected," LaPook said.
Preventing these bugs from spreading is essential to controlling the antibiotic resistance crisis, the CDC says.
For the study, researchers tested more than 5,700 samples from across the country over the course of nine months. The researchers found 221 cases of unusual resistance in "nightmare bacteria" in 27 states. The CDC defines "unusual resistance" as germs that cannot be killed by all or most antibiotics, are currently uncommon in the U.S., or have specific genes that allow them to spread their resistance to other germs.
Friend, much worse than this is on our doorstep. The doctors have been given trust unearned for millennia. There's only one way to get through it all: Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Erin Stratman ... She wasn't answering the questions and explaining exactly what it is.......until later in the conversation.......ask a question answer the question.......don't go off on other things❗️

You don't know anything about diseases. Sad. Bigly.
And DO check your spelling. There is a yuuuuge difference between plural and declination.
ITS CALLED CRE
We have been battling it in the hospitals now for over a year. The patients with this infection are under strict isolation and we are using Colistin (an antibiotic of last defense) to treat it. The organism is unique in that when it enters the body it seeks other organisms that exist rountinely in the gut and it will arm those organisms by passing on its own resistance.. making those infections like klebsiella, ecoli, and others as hard to treat as itself.

The bacteria is Enterobacter and it has been hard to treat for awhile. There’s at least 20 different species of enterobacter but not all are pathogenic. The species that are pathogenic tend to affect those that are immunocompromised including people who have been in the hospital or other medical facility for an extended period of time. I’m an RN and we would see cases back in the late 90’s (when I first started practicing). Back then it was becoming resistant to vancomycin and the term used for it then was VRE. Vancomycin was considered the super antibiotic.
Super bacteria are not new. There’s been MRSA, MRSE, VRE and so on. One way to prevent a pathogen from becoming resistant to antibiotics is stop prescribing antibiotics for every little cold symptom.
Here’s a link showing the existence of this exact pathogen from 2005 http://aac.asm.org/content/49/4/1354.full
cwnash71 Well I’m an RN as well and just to let you know that CRE according to CDC Very dangerous and all of our patients and 36 facilities long-term and postacute are in isolation indefinitely Per CDC. This Organism is different from the other organisms you mention in that it ability to cause the other organisms to become as resistant Meaning it transfers its resistance to the other gut bugs. We have been dealing with VRE MRSA And others for quite some time they don’t spread their resistance but CRE does which makes it very dangerous.
Erin Stratman , sounded like he asked the questions you posted and she answered. Maybe your pre-determined unwillingness to listen got in your way....
