Looks like it's spreading faster here .

is it spreading faster or just testing more?

Lots of prognosticators out there spewing doom and gloom. The Flu spreads to 30 million Americans on average each year. Yet few actually get a Flu vaccination. And 50k Americans lose their life to the Flu each year on average. Why aren't they warning Americans about the Flu?
flu doesnt need ventilators nearly as often but i get your point.
when has flu season shut the country down and had everyone who sneezed worrying they were gonna die?
If trump has his way, you WILL see the comparisons between covid19 and the flu and we may realize we were too ambitious in our response.
Its hard to say "sorry grampa" but we're going back to work.....but you might hear it.
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
I strongly encourage yall to watch the press releases and make that your basis for information
Fauchi (sp?) plainly states the reasoning and explanation for the "rising stats." Its all very simple so I wont bore yall with it....
Our 12 day (?) self isolation will start to show in the stats very soon. You will see a decline (also explainable). You will also see better numbers from shelter-at-home areas in the coming days. You can reasonably expect sc to be on lockdown next week and then a gentle opening of areas with low infections rates that will then trickle down to SC.
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
Haven’t missed one yet.

The comparisons to the flu are really getting silly. This ain't the flu. I'm all for keeping the economy going and I'm opposed to shelter-in-place orders for the general public/community. But again, this ain't the flu.

and i'll bite on the "this aint the flu" stuff.
What differentiates this virus from the flu? Keep in mind we have a vaccine and a treatment for the flu. I am armed and ready (with actual facts) for this debate so maybe do a little research before you quickly answer....
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
I didn't say it was a hoax, it's just a virus like many others we have seen in the past. H1N1, SARS, etc. It happens and it sucks but its something we have to deal with. The 24/7 news stations aren't helping. They are peddling fear. Be smart. Wash your hands, stay away from people and you will reduce your chances of catching it and passing on to someone else who may not be able to fight it off.
The doom and gloom bullshit needs to stop.
The flu does peak but does not compound and we have tamiflu.
The death rate of the flu will probably be higher than Covid 19 but not as quick.
States are trying to avoid ICUs packed and unable to treat all emergencies not just the Covid 19. Nobody wants to go in cardiac arrest and ICU and need a vent for a couple of days.
Easter sounds good to me to stop the lock downs. People will only stay pent up so long.
