And Moscow is finally on a full quarantine.
Apparently they didn't like that people went out doing barbecue once the vacation week was announced instead of staying at home.

And that's if they test such cases - don't know how's the equipment/testing situation in Germany.
The virus here in the US seems to be spreading like wildfire but I think we're just able to test more here. Yes NY and LA are in a mess and now NO is being covered. These cities and states were not prepared as most of us were not but they did waste tax payer funds on stupid stuff now yell at us to save them. We will but quit yelling we're doing all we can do to save you.
If we don’t yell at the government now when are we supposed to?
Well, generally, the equipment and processes are more optimized for quality than quantity here. The last number I had was a capacity for 500,000 tests per week. That is a lot compared to other countries, but a lot of this test capacity is also needed for medical employees, repeated tests of infected people, etc.
A doctor in Diez used his new building with parking garage to set up a mobile testing station for people who showed some Corona symptoms, in contrast to the much stricter official rules. 10% of the tested persons had SARS-CoV-2 in this test, much more than suggested by the official numbers for the region, even if you include a large number of false positives, this is an alarming number.
First off, wishing you the best luck and best health right now.I made couple of estimations on the numbers here in italy, and surprisingly enough just after I finished my calculations an official istitution came out wiht a similar study with a comparable result. It seems to be reasonable to think that in italy around half a milion people is infected. Of course much more here in lombardy region. I estimated some 4% of population here, and it would also more or less match with the people I know that start to get affected, or at least a parent, or a relative... I a small town called VO, they were able to test all the population and found out that the registered cases were just 25%, because 75% were without symptoms... So real numbers are probably huge...

I just really want to commend you here for expressing the above.NYC and Los Angeles are simply densely populated cities that are connected to just about everywhere else, both in the US and abroad. As convenient as it would be to my political views to blame this on their policies, they're simply the type of place that would get hit early and hard in this situation even if they voted 100% GOP.
