The population numbers I referred to yesterday came from this website. It looks credible to me.

This is the graph (click here) the graph of the China cases. It is easy to see the rapid spread of the disease, but, it also is easy to see the actions China took were effective and there is a leveling off of COVID-19 cases. The other graph is below and it shows the OUTCOME of the cases recorded in the amount of cases graph to the left. The virus took many lives in the beginning, but, as China became aware of the virus and began quarantine and treatment the outcomes began to change.

Both these graphs are current as of yesterday and that is the best anyone can hope for as the conclusion of today has not occurred yet.

The graph below is the number of cases in the USA. It is far more troubling than that of China's trend as of today. The USA graph of the number of cases shows a very slow increase. It is the opposite of China. The USA's effected population has not leveled off yet. The USA exhibits the trend of lacking a comprehensive policy that is being applied to all occurrences. In other words, as one state assesses it's outbreak it formulates a strategy to contain and end the virus' attack. As one state grows it's expertise, another state is experiencing new onsets. There is a continued number of growing cases because there is no central strategy out of US Homeland Security.

The strength of the USA's First World status isn't really showing in the "Recovery vs. Death" rate. I would expect the survival and recovery rate to be far better than China's, but, according to this graph, it isn't. It shows a death rate that exceeds a recovery rate at this point in time. The fact the USA is depending on the state Governors to assess and mandate a strategy shows through this graph. The "initial phase" of assessment is being repeated and people are falling through the cracks. There is no method of containment and the president continues to deny the severity of the outbreak.

What is sincerely troubling is this graph of the USA statistics. There is a growing number of cases in the USA, but, the recovery rate is flat. It reflects the growing death rate in the "death vs recovery" graph above. The USA is struggling to even admit it has a problem and governors are working with a handicap as they lack a central authority or strategy.

The one aspect that applies here as well is the inherent spread of the virus. In other words, China was the initial exposure to the virus and its statistics will become mature (statistics depends on numbers) earlier than that of the USA. The first case in the USA was some time after China's first reporting and even longer from China's first case. So, to say that the USA's trend is mature to the strategy it holds to end the spread and foster recovery of those exposed is inaccurate, however, I did expect a good response even at this point and it simply is not showing up.

The USA had a much longer "lead in" about the virus and China had none. My expectations is not wrong.

Genetics don't stand alone as the sole reason for immunity and wellness.

There is no such thing as bad genetics, either. The "wellness" of the human body is dependent on many things, such as food, vaccines, cognitive understanding of life and the very experiences and EXPOSURE humans have to everyday life makes each one of us unique. There is no bad or good body, there is just OUR OWN BODY.

This is not a minor illness. Never, never, ever take it with a grain of salt. Always seek treatment as soon as possible.

Viruses use the patient's own genetics against him or her. That makes for a very difficult infection. The worst of the virus can become deadly when the patient is weak OR weakened during the course of the virus.

Always take it seriously and seek treatment which may very well mean hospitalization to attempt to maintain OPTIMAL WELLNESS during the course of the disease. There is no removing the infection from the human body yet. The idea is to make it to the other side of the COURSE OF THE INFECTION as a survivor.

It is easy to understand why the Third World has such profound problems with illnesses that are this difficult to live through. The people of the Third World are under heavy stress everyday. Stress compromises the immune system. They are up against the odds as soon as they are infected.

Hackensack - A New Jersey man (click here) is speaking out from the hospital about his coronavirus diagnosis and treatment.

James Cai believes he contracted COVID-19 while attending a medical meeting at the Westin Hotel in Times Square.

He told ABC News that he was feeling sick a few days later and went to urgent care, but they didn't see anything and suggested a pulmonary embolism. He went to the emergency room and they did a chest CT and they found a small lesion on his lung. That led the hospital to request a presumptive coronavirus test, and it came up positive.

"The CDC never confirmed it, not even now," he said. Cai added that doctors are surprised by his condition.

"They are surprised it can be so bad and I'm so young," Cai said. "I don't drink, I don't smoke."

He's currently being treated at Hackensack Hospital in New Jersey.

Cai is in his early 30's and works as a physician's assistant. His cousin is a cardiologist at Mount Sinai....

Contagion of COVID-19 may depend on viral load and not an arbitrary 14 day period.

Viruses are RNA. They need DNA to infect their host. If the DNA has a minor difference that is not opportunistic to the virus a person can be a carrier of the infective virus without having deadly or severe illness. In this case, the baby was immune to the worst part of the coronavirus COVID-19, but, maintained a colony of it in the nose. Every breath out would expel some degree of the virus while a sneeze would expel a larger number of virus.

A common cold is a coronavirus. This infant had the symptoms of a common cold for an extended period of time while being asymptomatic for the COVID-19 virus.

A well 6-month-old infant with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (click here) had persistently positive nasopharyngeal swabs to day 16 of admission. This case highlights the difficulties in establishing the true incidence of COVID-19 as asymptomatic individuals can excrete the virus. These patients may play important roles in human-to-human transmission in the community....
