“The woman’s story highlights a serious flaw in how the United States has responded to the coronavirus,” CBS Miami’s Jim DeFede reports. “Until recently testing for the virus was limited to only an extremely small group of individuals who had travelled to China or those who were critically ill. As a result, health experts have warned, that the small number of people testing positive for the virus gives the public the false sense the virus has been contained or is limited in the United States.”

Exactly, however, I am not sure what your point is about China cases declining.

I see daily new cases rapidly catching up to daily recoveries.

It is supposed to die off in warm weather. This could be a one off event, or maybe the virus does not die off in warm weather.

It is world wide so there a good chance it will come back in Fall... this time it will be a whole flu season we all will have to endure.

“Democrats are insisting the spending package include significant funding to purchase large amounts of coronavirus diagnostics, treatments and vaccine, when it becomes available, which would then be made available to the public free of cost, according to a senior Democratic aide,” reported Politico. However, “Republicans are trying to eliminate the ‘fair and reasonable price’ federal procurement standard for the vaccines and treatments that will be developed and purchased with the emergency funds. ‘Fair and reasonable price’ is a basic standard to prevent price gouging in federal contracts. Without the language, drugmakers could charge the government above-market rates, meaning fewer Americans will have access, according to the Democratic aide.”​

“We really do believe the fundamentals of this economy are strong,” said Pence, citing unemployment numbers, a strong housing market and consumer spending. “President has said to us: the priority is the health and safety of the American people. … economy will take care of itself.”

He also said that any testing for the coronavirus will be covered through insurance and anyone with Medicare or Medicaid, “it’s covered.”

“Subject to a doctor’s orders, any American can be tested,” Pence said.

Instead of milk and bread on snow days, on coronavirus days it is hand sanitizer and toilet paper.

After all the hype, what will be amusing is if this virus outbreak ends up being fairly minor. It's got a long way to go before it even kills as many as flu has.
