For example in the us we held at 5 for days and increases just today to 6. Not that the us matters more but its what i look at.
Looks like another couple of countries but didnt spot which ones. I use that link too.
Psa: preventions from the cdc. Just google cdc coronavirus preventions
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Stay home when you are sick.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

Just be thankful you are not trapped in one of those quarantined cities for weeks, that would be scary

(14,961 posts)it to avoid a panic, IMO. I know how to differentiate real from fake news when it comes to politics, but this is much harder.
That's a whole lot of red and growing.
