Hey. Johns Hopkins finally added some new info that is actually helpful (if we assume it's even true).
They've added a "total tested" figure at 2,935,006.
Compared to the 582,468 cases, that's roughly 20% of people tested have it. (Unclear if that test even determines if people had it and already recovered, so it might be much, much higher than that too).
20% times 325 Million is 65 Million.
23,621 deaths, divided by 65 Million cases = .003% fatality rate.
We just trashed the world economy for a virus that the flu laughs at.
Good times.
My governor is SOOOOOO being voted out of office.

Honestly there are too many goofs in your post for me to take them time to correct them.

Meanwhile, we, our kids, our grand kids and everyone else are going to be paying for the goofs of people who supposedly know what they're talking about.
Have fun paying $10 for a gallon of milk in 2021. Enjoy that $1,200.

lol. Okay. Fuck you, Ted.
He didn't shut any of the states down. My state was among those that destroyed their own economy before Trump bought into the propaganda and cancelled Easter.
My state also hasn't gotten a single penny of that unemployment out to anybody a month later, and people are starting to scream.
My governor is out.

Russia ready to start testing coronavirus vaccines on humans in June
AFPApril 7, 2020, 5:22 PM UTC
The head of a major Russian research centre said scientists at a top-secret lab complex located in Koltsovo outside the Siberian city of Novosibirsk had developed several prototype coronavirus vaccines
Moscow (AFP) - The head of a top Russian research centre told President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday that his lab was ready to start human trials of experimental coronavirus vaccines in June.
Rinat Maksyutov, head of the Vektor State Virology and Biotechnology Centre, said his facility proposed first-phase clinical trials of three vaccines from June 29, on 180 volunteers.
Maksyutov was speaking during a video-link meeting between Putin and the heads of top research centres.

Coronavirus Vaccine? Two Pharmaceutical Giants Collaborating To Develop One
April 14, 202012:55 PM ET
Two of the world's largest vaccine manufacturers are joining forces to develop a new vaccine to prevent COVID-19.
Usually, the pharmaceutical behemoths GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi are competitors, but in a conference call with reporters, GSK CEO Emma Walmsley said the coronavirus pandemic represented "an unprecedented global health threat," and, therefore, required new ways of doing business.
"We're joining up with Sanofi in an unprecedented collaboration," Walmsley said. "It brings together two of the world's biggest vaccine companies with proven pandemic technologies and significant scale, all with the aim of developing an adjuvanted COVID-19 vaccine."
An adjuvanted vaccine is one that includes a compound known as an adjuvant that enhances someone's immune response to a vaccine. In the partnership, GSK will be providing the adjuvant and Sanofi will provide the specific protein component of the coronavirus that will generate the appropriate antibody response.
GSK is hoping the partnership will reduce the development time of a vaccine considerably. Under normal circumstances, it can take a decade to bring a new vaccine to market.
"But we're planning to start trials in the next few months," Walmsley said. "And if we're successful, subject to regulatory considerations, we aim to complete the development required to make the vaccine available in the second half of 2021."
Johnson & Johnson also provided an update on that company's vaccine plans in a conference call with investors. Chief Scientific Officer Paul Stoffels said the company had identified one lead and two alternate vaccine candidates that it planned to prepare to manufacture.
"Our goal is to be able to produce one billion doses of the vaccine globally," Stoffels said. He added that he hoped to have results of safety data on the first vaccine candidate by the end of the year.
"This could allow vaccine availability under emergency use authorization by 2021," Stoffels said.

I posted this elsewhere but belongs here
I've been looking at Sweden at this website
http://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/
It does a number of things with the data that I find useful. First of all, it's historic, which means it retains past values as well as showing current updates. Secondly, it's interactive. Under each chart you will be able to select 1) which nation is highlighted and 2) which parameter you wish to chart, for example "deaths" or "confirmed cases" or "new deaths per day"
But more importantly, it has a chart that divides the #of [cases] [deaths] [new deaths/day] [new cases/day] by that nation's population, so large nations with a large number of cases don't look abberantly worse than smaller nations.
Using the PER CAPITA chart, and highlighting Sweden just to make it easier to see, Sweden's PER CAPITA cumulative death rate is right up there with the more well-known shit shows like Spain, Italy, Belgium and France. At one point it was lower than about a dozen other nations, it has now climbed up into 7th or 8th place, depending on where you look at the data. It's also much higher than the other Nordic countries, which have instituted mandatory social distancing.
It does have a strange pattern to the data ... the per capita death rate will climb drastically, then level off, then climb dramatically again. Like Italy's detailed data, it shows a 7-day pattern, so I believe this is an artifact of recording and reporting.
However, like other nations that are instituting lockdowns, its curve is also heeling over. This might simply be a result of the virus hitting the most vulnerable first and causing a a sudden spike in deaths. But if the curves continue as currently shown, Sweden will achieve first place in per capita deaths in about 20 days.
