So funny, because the 4 days of declining growth before yesterday... people were chalking that up to "they stopped testing". And now the increase in numbers is BECAUSE they're testing.

I guess if the number is lower today, they must have stopped testing again

I'll just be glad when the numbers continue to lessen, and it's not due to "they stopped testing".

Well....... City's are ONLY testing critical patients and not very many really. Now we have WY(about 2300 total), SD(about 2000 total), MT that are testing A LOT more but are broad testing, not just know cases.

To me, these numbers are as meaningful as China's because there is not a standard of how testing is handled.

One thing that seems to have happened, states that are critical and got that FEMA money......They made it incredibly hard to get tested.

Yeah, it's hard to track what's really going on. We've tested a little over 1,000,000 people, but it still seems to not be as prevalent as needed.

Our county population is about 900,000. We've tested about 3,000. I don't know anyone that's been tested. We're told we have to go to our doctor if we suspect we are sick. Doctor has to recommend the test.

Death rate just hit 20% for the first time.

This is a f**king catastrophe! Never in my 8yrs or so of business have things ever been this messed up. 20+ shipments just sitting waiting for a spot on a plane. :(

This is saying authorities were manipulating the numbers. They were distributing test kits outside of Wuhan during the peak and gave all the hospitals there 2000 total.

Leaked documents from Mar 14th say there were 91k cases when official number was 4000. IDK if documents are real w/o looking.

Packages that shipped Friday are in Alaska now and will arrive tomorrow. I had a two day delay with UPS.

You must be using DHL through HK. Really bad business practices will keep them on their knees for weeks or possibly months to come.

phaz0rz · #**960** 04-02-2020

What are their bad business practices?

Always been a golden service for me up to this point.

james13v · #**961** 04-02-2020

my domestic shipments have been insanely fast. Florida to Cali, first class mail in 2 days.

phaz0rz · #**962** 04-02-2020

Mine too. It's strange, really. I guess it might have something to do with domestic air travel being restricted?

Priority and 1st Class shipments are traveling from West to East coast in 2 days consistently for the last 2 weeks, but on the international side, DHL is saying there aren't enough planes to go around.

Could be related to China lying about their statistics.

DHL has 5-10 day delays coming out of HK. Lot of cancelled flights. That was yesterdays update... who knows what it is today lol

I have the Same problem packages waiting since March 19th in hongkong waiting to go on a flight (due airlines cancellations ) Dhl express and they increased the prices almost 40% this is a disaster

phaz0rz · #**965** 04-02-2020

I had one shipment picked up last night.

If you're using DHL out of HK you can expect a 10-12 day wait between the time you're given your tracking number and the time it starts showing updates.

UPS raised 2%. Fedex about 11% This is China to USA. Not Hong Kong.

Once lockdowns are lifted worldwide and people start closing financial transactions again, we will see the real inflation.

This is a plandemic, not a pandemic.

There will be more crimes,like in 2008.

Except for all the people now getting unemployment, plus an extra $700 a week, PLUS another $1200 a month. People are literally making more money, not working. Banks are pausing mortgage payments for those landlords. Businesses are getting loans, which they don't have to pay back, if it goes towards payroll. People are wasting money on junk anymore. Just about every company is pausing bills. No waste of gas money.

And when this is all over, LESS people are going to die this year, in general, than if this virus never even happened.
