    Four things you should do tomorrow.

    1). Toss your toothbrush. Get a new one with a plastic cover!
    2). Start cleaning your cellphone twice a day
    3). Start changing the pillow case on your bed everyday and wash in hot water.
    4). Start cleaning your computer keyboard or tablet screen twice a day.
    5). Use the speakerphone on your cellphone or landline as much as possible to minimize contact with your face.

      But I'm the only one using my toothbrush, cell phone and pillow. I'm not catching the corona from myself.

          Almost 434,000 Americans have been tested as of Wednesday, with 50,000 infected, and nearing 1,000 deaths.
          To put that into perspective, South Korea (who is touted as being the best responder/ tester of this virus) has administered 350,000 tests.
          It seems we are testing people faster than any other nation, but the media would have you believe that we are still waiting on test kits, and that people haven’t been tested.
          Globally, almost 468,000 infected, and 21,000 deaths.

          WOW Tampa has test kits for 900 people there 3 million people in TAMAPBAY Florida

          Based on the available data and the population of each country, 1 in 142 South Koreans and 1 in every 786 Americans have been tested for the coronavirus.
          Yep we still lag in TESTING!

            Yeah, have you noticed something about South Korea? It's kinda small. Not so many people to test.

                It appears you are from New York. Please take this super seriously.

                          It took China three months to control the coronavirus,
                          As long as the local government takes it seriously, I believe it will soon be brought under control

                              When Adjusted For Population, U.S. Currently Trails At Least Six Other Nations In Number Of Coronavirus Cases, Report Says | The Daily Wire

                              On Thursday, many news reports trumpeted that the United States had become the nation with the most reported cases of the coronavirus, but they ignored an essential fact; among major countries which one can assume are offering valid statistics, when adjusted for population, the United States trails many other countries in the number of cases.

                                Using the raw case counts from the Johns Hopkins University database for the top 10 countries on Thursday, Klein explained, “So, for instance, on a raw basis, there are 83,507 reported cases of the coronavirus in the U.S., compared with 80,589 in Italy. But the U.S. has about 5.5 times the population of Italy. If Italy were scaled up to the U.S. population, it would have the equivalent of 443,237 cases.”

                                Correct numbers and equations make all the difference. Something the media needs to learn. You can't just base numbers off of "# infected vs. # of deaths, unless you're trying to spread panic and fear......which is all the media wants to do at this point.
                                I sure the 1,300 people that Died so far will appreciate your comments.
