Relatives mourn at the roadside while waiting for funerary service workers to pick up of the body of Arlen Laranjeira Bezerra, 39, a victim of the new coronavirus who died after fleeing the emergency room of the Delphina Rinaldi Abdel Aziz Hospital in Manaus, Amazonas state, Brazil, Tuesday, May 5, 2020. Bezerra was admitted to undergo treatment for COVID-19 disease and after escaping from the hospital at dawn, his body was found by family members approximately 200 meters from it.
In India, which partly eased its lockdown Monday, health authorities were rushing to contain an outbreak of the virus at one of Asia’s largest markets for perishable goods. The market in the southern city of Chennai, spread over more than 250 acres, had remained open throughout the lockdown and is now tied to at least 1,000 cases.
The capital of Brazil’s tropical Maranhão state ground largely to a halt Tuesday, becoming the first major city in the country to enter a lockdown in the hopes of preventing the coronavirus from overwhelming the health care system of one of the nation’s poorest states. Elsewhere, Britain’s official death toll, at more than 29,000, topped that of Italy to become the highest in Europe and second-highest in the world behind the United States. The official number of dead worldwide surpassed a quarter-million, according to a count by Johns Hopkins’ University, though the true toll is believed to be much higher.“I’m not saying anything is perfect, and yes, will some people be affected? Yes. Will some people be affected badly? Yes.
New confirmed infections per day in the U.S. exceed 20,000, and deaths per day are well over 1,000, according Johns Hopkins figures. And public health officials warn that the failure to lower the infection rate in places could lead to many more deaths — perhaps tens of thousands — as people are allowed to venture out and businesses reopen.
When the still-locked-down area is included, new infections in the U.S. appear to be declining, according to the AP analysis. It found that the five-day rolling average for new cases has decreased from 9.3 per 100,000 people three weeks ago on April 13 to 8.6 on Monday.
Lol, you people never cease to amaze me with your sick fear mongering.
If we are pinpointing sub-locales I’d say the battle is in our favor. This is exactly what we need to identify and trade origin of clusters. Don’t be like CNN and fear monger I know it sells but be optimistic!
Would akso like to see some reporting on how we have managed to keep the numbers low ....

Gina Neff ginasue highlights risks that exist due to “superspreader” locations that are crowded (neighborhoods, large stores, factories (meat processing), care homes, jails). These locations need to be identified & proactive public health measures for those who work/live there.
