    More than likely some of today;s death count was from yesterday and it just was not reported in time. I believe NY was late reporting yesterday so all of their numbers probably were not accounted for. The previous deaths reported for the last three days were 400, 525 and 363. With 550 so far today I would say that yesterdays 363 number looks a little iffy.

    They issued the order on March 17 that all casinos and all non-essential businesses close as well as a stay at home order so not sure why they are whited out.
    EDIT: Rivergator answered the question with his post above mine

    Yeah, that's my recollection too. They included states that only had state-at-home orders, so I'm not sure why Nevada wasn't included.

    Rivergator's link above says that Nevada's stay at home was not mandatory anywhere within the state so I guess one city would need to make it mandatory or the entire state for them to show on the map..

    saw that. also saw that he used T's euphemism and called it the Chinese virus. Surprised that someone so personally impacted by the incompetence that let this virus run amuck would still be a T supporter. Hope his daughter does well and he opens his mind to the cause of her infection. That 4 - 6 weeks lost when we should have been testing, tracking, and isolating is going to cost a lot of American lives and cause a lot of suffering and misery that never should have happened.

    A leopard never changes its spots. I hope his daughter only has a mild version of it and makes a full recovery soon, but I'll never like Bill because of his prejudices. Still, I don't wish this virus on him or his family.

    In reviewing the state of Florida statistics I noticed that Dade County seems to have the lowest hospitalizations to confirmed cases ratio at under 7%. I wonder of those who are hospitalized how many are kept overnight to observe and hydrate then released the next day?.

    It looks as though it only applies to those over 65 or if you have an underlying medical condition

    Yeah soon as I read the first line I thought 'same old Bill'. He just can't help himself. I hope his daughter is ok.

    Better watch out, man. They'll label you a deranged lib suffering from TDS for daring to tell the truth about Trump.
