Georgia announced that it has the lowest number of COVID-19 patients it's seen in over a month.
When is that reopening going to start showing up significantly in the data? I think it's been two weeks for them.

Data should be available by next week
when this s*** ends hopefully it does ppl will go out alot more and spend more money but still gotta weight let me ask you guys if there is a vaccine ready will yu guys get it
man, anyone who enters and to the people who thought this was okay.
no ventilators if they catch the virus and need it

What, are u german?
32 new cases in South Korea, 3-4 days ago they only had between 1-3 new cases daily.
All that came from one cock sucker who was bar hopping
What, are u german?
Zum glück nicht
All that came from one cock sucker who was bar hopping
Crazy if you know that because of one guy they‘re tracing thousands of people
Italian interview discussing we've been observing for the past couple weeks w/r/t the virus possibly weakening, I'll provide a translation for some of it:
Is Sars-CoV-2 becoming less aggressive? In recent days the opinions of several experts seem to be going in this direction. "We are observing that the virus is losing potency - said Massimo Ciccozzi, head of the Medical Statistics and Molecular Epidemiology Unit of the Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome during a hearing in the Senate -. It evolves, but loses contagiousness and, probably, lethality ». Matteo Bassetti, director of infectious diseases at the Policlinico San Martino in Genoa and member of the task force of the Liguria Region confirms: "In March this virus was a tsunami, now it has become a wave. Perhaps it is because it has already hit the most fragile subjects, making a "natural selection", or perhaps it has weakened. It is an injection of confidence for phase 2, but it will take 2-3 weeks to judge whether the Italians have performed well ". Prudent also Francesco Le Foche, head of Immuno-infectious disease at the Day hospital of the Policlinico Umberto I in Rome: «Today we see less important syndromes from the clinical point of view. This could be due to a reduction in virus virulence. But progress must not suggest a "free den all" ".
What tools do we have to help us determine if Sars-CoV-2 has become less aggressive? We ask Massimo Clementi, director of the Laboratory of Microbiology and Virology at the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan and professor at the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University.
"The first evaluation is linked to the clinical expression of the infection, which is now milder. During the dramatic phase, about 80 people arrived at San Raffaele a day, most of whom needed hospitalization in intensive care. Things have changed markedly for about two weeks and, as we see, intensive care is gradually being released. The infection no longer flows into the very serious phase, the so-called "cytokine storm": we see it in the hospital, even if for now it is only an empirical observation. In general, patients in need of hospitalization are falling sharply, the epidemic is still there but from a clinical point of view it is "emptying".
How can you prove that the virus' power has diminished?
"We need scientific evidence of a mutation that leads him to adapt to the guest, that is, to man. A new virus is always very aggressive in the early stages, then learns to live with its "victim". It is an opportunistic attitude that allows him to survive. If a virus kills the host (like the Ebola virus) it does not, in turn, have a chance to replicate itself. In Italy, a network has been set up between virology laboratories in many hospitals, including San Raffaele and Sacco in Milan, those in Bergamo, Brescia, Florence, Padua, Rome, Naples, Bari. The goal is to work together for monitoring constant of virus sequences, on sample subjects. The final study will tell us how Sars-CoV-2 has moved from one area to another, selecting a variant rather than another. We expect this new coronavirus to gradually become harmless, like its "cousins", responsible for the cold. "
There's more in the link, focusing primarily on effects of weather and achieving herd immunity.

If something like this is to happen, how does a virus mutate in a context like this? Fx does it happen simultaneous worldwide somehow or is it strictly based in Italian until it spreads further?
