Italy might be on the verge of overcoming the peak of the outbreak. Read my article on LinkedIn for more details. I’m more than happy to discuss and hear crtics.

If anyone wants to track coronavirus stats in Italy, this is a fantastic website.

Here's one for the whole world, their stats aren't as detailed though.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s 10k tests/day

That is true.
I find this interesting. Well, for one because Trump is pretty much a psychopath who believes his role is hosting a reality TV show where he's the star and he's trying to keep the ratings up and not get cancelled.
But many of those who believe he is the worst politician on the planet (a touch of surprise for you all: Bolsonaro is worse) are kind of bewildered how anyone could say he's doing an even functionally adequate job when thousands of Americans are getting the disease and dying while the health care system slowly collapses. It's a real interesting question: what does it take to convince someone of their incompetence even after the unnecessary deaths of thousands of its citizens?
This is more of a rhetorical question. But if you can't convince someone with dead Americans, the dude is pretty much bulletproof of any criticism from some people. So why is that?
Why not? Because untested cures get people killed and give ammunition to the anti-vaxxers is why.
This is one area where I have to agree with a Trump quote: the cure can be worse than the disease.
Gold.
Oh, the old "get rid of wet markets and the problem goes away" trope.
Sorry to hear that, Andy. Diabetes is a complication, but not a lot of diabetics are good at managing their health in general. So if he does take care of himself, hopefully it's more of a crapshoot for how his immune system responds (or not).
You know I'd agree with anyone who said that.
Oh, and winner, winner, chicken dinner:

Who needs wet markets with that going on everywhere?

there's nothing democratic in it. the lack of time limit is worrying indeed: orbán declared an "immigration emergency" a couple of years ago, and despite the significantly lower number of immigrants (and the fact that hungary is just a transit country for the vast majority of that crowd, basically nobody wants to permanently remain here), he never declared the end of that emergency. he just needs that for his "war" vs everyone (mainly civil organizations, eu, soros). there are no factual conditions for the end of this state of emergency. it's a fucking joke that really grants the government absolute power.
here's the english google translation of the act itself:
https://translate.google.com/transl...//net.jogtar.hu/jogszabaly?docid=00009790.tvj
art. 8 is the key: the parliament should decide when to repeal the act. and since orbán has a 2/3 majority in the parliament, it's completely up to him when to end the emergency. there's absolutely nothing that would prevent him of keeping the country in this situation for the next couple of years. and since there's emergency and the parliament is suspended, you can't go to the streets to protest, you can't ask an opposition delegate to make his voice heard.
a longer recap for those interested:
https://index.hu/english/2020/03/30...orban_fidesz_sweeping_powers_indefinite_term/
so yeah, it's quite fucked up. all we can hope is that orbán still has some decency. otherwise, it means absolute power for him until he gets bored of it.
