****Graphs/Information has been adjusted due to WorldoMeters no longer offering the option to exclude questionable data from China, and removing a current active cases count. Currently searching for other sources.****

Unfortunately due to WorldoMeters changing their data, they no longer show active/recovered/critical cases. Graphs have changed to reflect that. This is from the Johns Hopkins Site: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html

Currently Infected: (TBD
Deaths: (+TBD)
Recovered: (+TBD)

Countries with at least 1 active case (Worldometers)

Current United States Uh-Oh rating: 7.8-8/10

International: 7-8 depending on location.

Scale has been adjusted to a range of 7.8 to 8 on 4/10/2020 due to continued spread within the United States, and multiple states implementing quarantine procedures enforced with fines.
It is worth noting that at a national, FORCED quarantine (not suggestion), the scale would stop at 8 unless widespread supply chain disruption occurs.

If you are in a state or country with a mandated (not suggested) quarantine, the scale would be an 8. Not leaving unless getting groceries, but shelves are still full.

Due to the continued spread of the virus and current recommendations, it's highly, HIGHLY advised to shop with caution only as needed and to wear gloves/a mask if able, disinfecting when getting into your car or home. How to remove gloves:

Concerns are now of the capacity of our healthcare system. The numbers will overload hospitals and cause significant disruption and additional fatalities, as is seen in Italy. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/03/suddenly-the-er-is-collapsing-a-doctors-stark-warning-from-italys-coronavirus-epicentre

https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/sph/ide/gida-fellowships/Imperial-College-COVID19-NPI-modelling-16-03-2020.pdf

As long as the supply chain remains intact (manufacturing -> warehouse -> stores->consumers), my concerns are muted and relate to the healthcare system capacity, which will likely be exceeded at some point.

Just testing positive again doesn't mean you're doing another round. Doesn't even mean it's infectious. Or symptomatic.

Yes, but we need more studies. Preliminary studies show certain age groups develop more antibodies than others. So need more studies.
