Spanish coronavirus deaths slow as world nears 500,000 cases
''The rate of coronavirus deaths in Spain has slowed for the first time in a week, and the United States has passed the largest stimulus package in its history, as the global number of confirmed coronavirus cases approached half a million.

Spain recorded 655 deaths in the past 24 hours, bringing the total there to 4,089, the health ministry said on Thursday. The number of confirmed cases in Spain stood at 56,188.

The numbers offer a glimmer of hope a day after the country recorded the world’s highest one-day national death toll of the pandemic to date – 738 – and its total number of deaths eclipsed that of China.

Spain’s health minister, Salvador Illa, said the data should be read with caution but could mean Spain had entered a “phase of stablisation”. He said: “The number of reported cases could be reaching its peak.”

He added: “Nobody knows exactly when we’ll reach the end … we still have many difficult weeks ahead.”

Hours earlier, the Spanish parliament approved extending the country’s near total lockdown to 11 April.''

Coronavirus tracker claims up to 6.6MILLION people in the UK could have it | Daily Mail Online.

There’s a link to the tracker app in this article. I downloaded it this morning and it took about ten minutes to register and complete the questions. I don’t have any symptoms atm but it asks you to check in every day with your temperature and answer a list of questions.

Back at work here in small town Tennessee. My company is still running community based personal assistant services so fishing it is. I praise God for the sunshine here today!

My husband's coworker is quarantined until his results come back. Schools are now out until the 24th, but Google classroom is a godsend!

Praying for all!

Four Seasons Hotel in New York Will Open Its Doors to Hospital Workers, Says Gov. Andrew Cuomo

Even though the due date for federal taxes, and some state taxes, has been extended, it was pointed out today on Morning Joe that you'll get your stimulus "checks" faster, in the form of direct deposit, if you file your 2019 taxes now to establish your bank routing for refunds due (down at the bottom of the 1040) . And those who have previously received direct deposit refunds from the IRS won't have to wait, either, for the paper check ($3,400 for family of 4, $1,200 for singles) to be snail mailed to them.

Coronavirus: 'Frailty score' plan angers special needs parents Coronavirus: 'Frailty score' plan angers parents

This just broke my heart. As a carer for someone who falls into this category we knew he wouldn’t have much chance if he gets it, but reading this just made me sick.

Good! Treat them (and the hotel staff) well!

It's easy to forget the people who have to disinfect everything to keep our country going. Rep. Chis Coons was thanking the staff who disinfect congressional chambers every day on the news, which I hadn't thought about. I hope cleaners around the country have adequate PPE.

Same to you! This sounds like a terrific and important job to do today. May the fish bite!

S Korea has really shown us up re percentage of total population tested. Why can't we buy tests from them if the federal government doesn't want to develop a mass testing program? We can't wait for the private sector to produce mass testing.

I touched on this yesterday (with no response) and there was conversation last night as well.

WHERE is Governor Cuomo getting his figures that he needs 30,000 ventilators in 2 weeks?

If 1% of those infected require a ventilator, he is expecting 3 million active cases in New York in 14 days.

If 2% of those infected require a ventilator, he is expecting 1.5 million active cases in New York in 14 days.

Where is he getting the numbers? Jmo
