I'm going to start a Kickstarter for COVID-19 testing kits that will cost $999.99.
I'm going to be a millionaire by next month.

Is that with or without sales tax?
Just kidding!
And, Jack, fwiw, as much excellent work as you've done on your house, I wouldn't get your kit. Just sayin'.

Italy coronavirus death toll surges
https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/virus-italy-outbreak/2020/03/
03/id/956792/
Shortly after the contagion first came to light on Feb. 20, the government imposed a quarantine on two areas - one encompassing 10 Lombardy towns southeast of Milan, and another, smaller red zone in the region of Veneto to the east.
Inhabitants are blocked inside the affected towns and police prevent any outsiders from entering. (That's the definition of a cordon sanitaire.)
(Despite instituting precautions like creating no-go zones and closing schools, SARS-COV-2 cases and deaths have continued to spread beyond the initial outbreak area.)
A high concentration of new cases has emerged around the city of Bergamo, northeast of the financial capital Milan, and the head of the national health institute told reporters a new red zone may be imposed there to try to stem the rise.
Italy's health authorities said on Tuesday they may set up a new quarantine red zone to try to contain the coronavirus outbreak in Europe's worst-hit country, after the death toll and the number of cases jumped.
Twenty-seven people died of the highly contagious illness in Italy over the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of dead to 79, the Civil Protection Agency said. The increase in deaths was the largest since the outbreak surfaced 12 days ago in the wealthy northern regions of Lombardy and Veneto.
If new case numbers are still rising, I think it's not under control.
I wonder what Tedros is waiting for ... for this to burn itself out without calling it a pandemic, thereby rescuing those poor bond-holders?

Some theorize that Italy and Iran have a particularly deadly strain of the virus. First heard this on Chris Martensen Peak Prosperity but don't recall where he got that from. His discussion revolves around the #recovered v the #died, which is prolly easier to measure than #died v #infected, since at the moment don't know the actual infection rate. So possibly Italy and Iran are dealing with something a little different. (Originally I attributed their high apparent death rate to little testing and number fudging.)
Read somewhere else, again don't remember where, that covid-19 represents two different strains, one very infectious with severe symptoms and one a little something with less critical illness. M and S I think they called them. The deadlier strain is spreading at a slower rate because it's more obvious and tends to be controlled earlier but the milder version keeps spreading at a more consistent rate, prolly because it's less obvious.

Yeah, I don't have any solid info on that.
When it comes to Italy, everyone says what DRACONIAN measure China took to deal with the virus - and that western nations couldn't possibly implement them. I'm watching Italy because I'm curious to see if I can stumble on what, if any, measures seem to help.

A Trump administration official tells CNN that the US Department of Health and Human Services "is in the process of doing targeted outreach to the elderly community and those that have serious underlying health conditions."
The CDC guidance comes as two top infectious disease experts with ties to the federal government have advised people over 60 and those with underlying health problems to strongly consider avoiding activities that involve large crowds, such as traveling by airplane, going to movie theaters or concerts, attending family events, shopping at crowded malls, and going to religious services.

That's probably a good idea.
They're going to come with used hypodermic needles since my state doesn't give away clean ones for free, so... yanno... AIDS.
