There are now over 10,000 coronavirus cases in USThere are at least 10,502 cases of the novel coronavirus in the United States, according to the state and local health agencies, governments and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
========================
It's more than that...There isn't enough kits to accurately measure - unless you're in the NBA or a Hollywood star.
How much more?? 2x?, 3x? 10x???
Who the hell knows, but we're going to find out.

Got some bug, I think it's something much more pedestrian...but I have to do an "e-visit" and possible testing tomorrow.
I work in heavy truck parts, including some emergency vehicles...so, we're considered support for critical services.
Be well and take care of you.

It is pretty pitiful but it also depends where you live in the United States. I can't imagine living on that but you do what you gotta do. There are a lot of people in this country struggling though.
The world's fastest supercomputer identified chemicals that could stop coronavirus from spreading, a crucial step toward a vaccine
(CNN) — The novel coronavirus presents an unprecedented challenge for scientists: The speed at which the virus spreads means they must accelerate their research.
But this is what the world's fastest supercomputer was built for. Summit, IBM's supercomputer equipped with the "brain of AI," ran thousands of simulations to analyze which drug compounds might effectively stop the virus from infecting host cells.
The supercomputer identified 77 of them. It's a promising step toward creating the most effective vaccine. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory published their findings in the journal ChemRxiv.
Summit was built to solve the world's problems

So its almost here: State Department about to raise travel advisory to DO NOT TRAVEL. Domestic air travel will be banned.
Where did you hear this?
Only thing I'm seeing is a ban for international travel. Not saying that won't eventually include domestic, but can't find anything about a domestic ban.
The idea of grounding many or all domestic flights remains under consideration at the White House, where the administration's coronavirus task force is looking for ways to prevent people from congregating and spreading the virus.
The government's decision to restrict travel to China, South Korea, and much of Europe already brought a precipitous decline in airline service to overseas destinations.Such a drastic move domestically could further cripple the nation's economy, and have negative effects such as preventing the flow of cargo, making it harder to ship medical supplies and other essential goods.
"Fauci is still pushing for it -- and maybe he's right," said one senior administration official, referring to Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, one of the most visible faces on the administration's task force. The NIAID did not immediately comment.
"We're not there yet. That doesn't mean never," the official continued. "But the President and a lot of us around him feel we should do everything we can to avoid it." A massive reduction in service is already happening before their eyes.

Our governor just told us all is well we have 800 test kit in reserve
for the state of Iowa. The state epidemiologist, said that is good
because the labs can keep up with pace. They have instituted new
protocols for the judicious and prudent use of masks and materials. I
could be real cynical and suggest her next line will be that the tests
are causing the the problem. Iowa has tested less than 700 people. What
a cluster, compare that message with what WHO epidemiologists are
saying.
