Coronavirus

My wife’s health and spirits continue to improve, and she continued to rest and take it easy today.  However, we still have no pretzels,...

The rate of COVID-19 infection in the U.S. climbed from 5,881 to 8,317 in the past 24 hours, an increase of 2,436 or 41 percent. At that rate, infections will more than double every two days instead of every three, which is what I projected back on Sunday, March 15, when the country had only 2,759 known cases.

“Despite being the Pickled Prepper, I am not that a heavy drinker,” I say with a slightly slurred voice.  “Honest.” But I am curious why they are...

We have some good news to report: My wife’s visit to the doctor confirmed she did not have COVID-19.  I’d like to say we’re...

The number of cases of people infected with the coronavirus in the U.S. grew by almost a third in the past 24 hours. As of this morning, there were 5,881 cases, an increase of 1,399, or just over 31 percent. At this rate, my earlier report that cases were doubling every 3 days and projection that we could reach 88,000 cases by March 30 and 1 million by April 10 is going to end up being too conservative.

This morning, the New York Times chart showed 4,482 known coronavirus infections in the U.S., a jump of 880, bring us back down to a 24 percent increase. Deaths jumped from 66 to 86, an increase of 30 percent.

I could not help but enjoy this article from the Associated Press that people who used to laugh at their prepper friends are now...

This morning, the New York Times reports that there are 3,602 known cases of COVID-19 in the United States. That represents an increase of 843 from yesterday’s report, a growth rate of 30%. I suspect the increase in the growth rate is likely a result of greater availability of test kits. New York State has now eclipsed Washington and has the most reported cases at 732. However Washington still has the most deaths at 42 out of a national total of at least 66.

When I work up this morning, 2,759 people in the United States had tested positive for COVID-19, according to the New York Times. That’s a whopping 540 more than yesterday, meaning that cases are growing at a rate in excess of 24% per day.

I’ve been following the Wuhan Virus for months now, and I have seen no reports stating that it affects the water supply.  So why...
