@aolog @papa @uaa Doctors in Japan have warned that the country's medical system could collapse amid a wave of new coronavirus cases.
"One ambulance carrying a patient with coronavirus symptoms was turned away by 80 hospitals before he could be seen." Yikes!
I've been quite concerned given Abe's reluctance to even recognize the seriousness of the problem vs torpedoing the games :-( I don't even know how Yuko is doing up in yamagata.

COVID-19’s impact on Tor
"We had to let go of 13 great people who helped make Tor available to millions of people around the world. We will move forward with a core team of 22 people, and remain dedicated to continuing our work on Tor Browser and the Tor software ecosystem."

"The US now has about 62 deaths per million people. Meanwhile, according to Johns Hopkins University data, Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan all have less than 1 death per million; and China, South Korea and Singapore have each under 5 deaths per million."
Both the USA and S. Korea reported their first case on the same day in January. One took action, the other... didn't.
Interesting that all the right-wing egos of trump, bolsonaro, bojo et al. result in disaster for the people in those countries.

The graphs for #Covid19UK deaths today show much the same pattern as the #Covid19Cymru graphs, and the same comments apply.
It's surely impossible for anyone to deny that the UK is tracking Italy's curve (at +14 days) now. There is still a question as to how we'll come down the other side, though. Lockdowns surely differ in their effectiveness between countries.
