If you are looking at the map, Twitter has a lag to update. If it's their numbers, they only list when they can get confirmation.This doesn't seem to be up to date - we have had one death in the UK (yesterday or day before) which is not listed.
Interesting and encouraging
a coalition of European researchers says that already approved drugs might hold the key to treating the new virus.
“Drug repurposing is a strategy for generating additional value from an existing drug by targeting diseases other than that for which it was originally intended,” said Denis Kainov, the senior author on the paper and an associate professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. “For example, teicoplanin, oritavancin, dalbavancin and monensin are approved antibiotics that have been shown to inhibit corona- and other viruses in the laboratory.”
The researchers reviewed information on the discovery and development of broad-spectrum antiviral agents (BSAAs), which are drugs that target viruses from two or more different viral families. They summarized what they found for 120 drugs that had already been shown to be safe for humans use and created a database, which is freely accessible. Thirty-one of these were found by the researchers to be possible candidates for prophylaxis and treatment of the COVID-19 infections. The researchers also found that clinical investigations have recently begun of five possible drug candidates to treat COVID-19.

Where did you find that the 19 year old died? I’ve been trying to validate if that’s true and I can’t find anything.Where was the 50 year old "wonderful woman" that the President announced died of COVID-19 infection.
I understand that a 19-year old male died in Seattle, and my sincere condolences to his family, his friends, and his caregivers.
But where was the death announced this morning in the governmental press conference?
And THIS is the VULNERABLE POPULATION, folks.
I hope the CDC council or whatever that governmental committee is, will place an emphasis on THESE high-risk populations and free up funds for them.
The people in care centers are almost universally on Medicare or Medicaid or both. Their caregivers, who are also at high risk are CNA's or other lower-level healthcare providers who are paid quite low wages These are people with families with young children, etc. I doubt they have the money to spare to buy materials for self-quarantine, and then ===
What does the care facility do without those healthcare workers?
