California is a very large and populous state, and some areas have been much more affected than others, but nowhere approaches the New York level of cases or deaths.
My county, Orange County, has 3.3 million people and 1200 known cases, only 19 deaths. The number of new diagnoses zigzags wildly up and down but overall seems to be going down. April 1 was the date that recorded the most new cases. I think we are doing really well.
So let’s say that 3x as many people have it, and it’s 2700 people, and they don’t know it because it’s so mild they have no symptoms. That’s out of more than 1 million - still a fraction of 1%. Please don’t add to the panic. When I take a walk around my neighborhood, people are acting like it’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers out here. They jump into the street to avoid the 2 seconds we are within 6 feet of each other as we pass. Someone is more likely to get killed by a car by jumping into the street like that than dying of COVID, that’s for sure.
You can see the car. Can’t see this virus - and it can be on anything you touch. Now- proven can be in the air up to 13 ft away- which I kept saying. It’s not the body snatchers - it’s my neighbor who might kill me on that elevator or stair case
If your county says 900 cases, this only means 900 that took the test and got a positive result. Don't assume your county only has 900 positives.
Correct.

Then they can spread the disease to every person they come into contact.
The disease isn't spread by FROG or SCUD-C missile warheads landing in your county or aerosol canisters dropped from Backfire bombers. It's spread by people.
And if each of them infects 1 person per day over the course of two weeks while they're contagious then they just infected 37,800 people.
Then those 37,800 infect 1 person a day over 2 weeks and now you have 529,200 infected.
Since you're the World's Most Preeminent Coronavirologist with accolades-a-plenty, why don't you tell us all how long the immunity to COVID-19 lasts?
Does the immunity last as long as other corona virus like OC43 or 229E which lasts only 4 weeks?
Or does the immunity last an entire life-time?
Inquiring minds want to know.

You just don't understand.
Your death toll is low only because you have more ventilators than patients.
When you have more patients than ventilators, then your death toll starts massively mounting.
In the later stages of any viral or bacterial infection, your immune system response causes your organs to shut down one by one.
You need medicine for that, so it doesn't matter how many ventilators you have if you don't have the medicine you need.
It's really astonishing that people don't get it.
When the Demand for housing exceeds the available Supply, what happens?
Housing prices and rents sky-rocket.
When the Demand for medical care exceeds the available Supply, the death toll sky-rockets.
It's not Quantum String Theory, but it is common sense.
It's a false flag people. All those richies were just making up this hoax so they could buy up stocks on the cheap. Time to go to Vegas and have some fun! Or maybe Bourbon Street!

Local area fine, a few hundred cases and maybe 15 deaths in an area with 250k people. Indianapolis has been hit quite hard, 150 deaths just in their county. Across the river Louisville KY has 46 deaths. Don't know about Indy but locally plenty of hospital beds left.
In the county I work in, and in the one I live it, we've had about 45 cases total, no fatalities, and I believe a total of 3 hospital admissions-most (maybe all) of whom have now been released. Our hospitals are hurting financially-all elective procedures are shut down. I have a friend that was supposed to have his gallbladder removed a few weeks ago-he can't get it done.
The biggest issue we have...is a whole bunch of unemployed people.

"Now, the widespread cancellation of pricey elective surgeries, which make up the bulk of hospitals’ revenue, have made their finances all the more precarious."
