I don't even know who is counted as a "confirmed case".  Does that mean tested positive?

My step daughter was sick and tested negative and her MD said "It doesn't mean anything.".

Huh.
According to the CDC:


Quote
Data include confirmed, presumptive positive, and probable cases of COVID-19 reported to CDC or tested at CDC, with the exception of testing results for persons repatriated to the United States from Wuhan, China and Japan. State and local public health departments are now testing and publicly reporting their cases. In the event of a discrepancy between CDC cases and cases reported by state and local public health officials, data reported by states should be considered the most up to date.


I assume "confirmed" means tested positive, but that's not everything that exists in the counts, apparently. 

Of course that doesn't give you any indication whether your daughter is counted or not...

"confirmed, presumptive positive, and probable cases"

My step daughter lives in France.  I think the above means "in someone's opinion"  ....

Also, anyone see Dr. Fauci eviscerate that despicable female reporter? Guess who her husband is....a lobbyist for...CHINA.
Countries have their own lobbyists?

IMF is predicting the greatest global economic contraction since the Great Depression. The Great Recession of 2009 the global economy shrank .1%. IMF is projecting the global economy is going to shrink 3% this year.

Obviously, countries do have their own lobbyists, I'm not sure why anyone would think otherwise.

I didn't see Dr. Fauci respond to that despicable reporter, it sounds epic.

Found it:

Incidentally, she is with CBS, not CNN.

I'll be pretty surprised if the global economy only shrinks by 3% this year.  I'd consider that an unbelievable positive outcome.  But I don't see it. 

The good news is I think it will be pretty much recovered in 15-18 months.  Well, in the USA it will be.  We're going to fare much better than many other countries.

I think it matters when the start and stop date is.  If we measure from Jan 1 to Dec 31, 3% is not a ridiculous figure I think.  We might drop say 15% or more this quarter and see maybe 0--5% year over year in the next quarter and then up 10% the next.  Q1 would be roughly flat.

Yes, countries do hire lobbyists to push their agendas in DC. How have you never heard of this? Mike Flynn- I'm sure you've heard of him- well he was a lobbyist for Turkey.

I was/am pretty disgusted with that lady. Dr. Fauci was a hardcore Hillary Clinton supporter last election, that has been well documented by him over the years and WikiLeaks leaked emails- so you know he's probably not the biggest fan of the President- and the guy is doing the best job that he can in a really crazy time with a strange new disease- and he's really a guy to be admired imo- and for that stupid c##t to insinuate that he's being held hostage or being forced to do/say things- just unreal. He's a bigger man than I. I wouldn't have given her a nasty stare. I probably would've verbally assaulted her and made her cry.

Near the end, Fauci speculated about the possibility that there will be a resurgence of Zika this summer. The virus has caused many travel-related cases in the U.S. and some locally acquired cases in Florida and Texas. Fauci said other concerns for the Trump administration include the potential for a new influenza pandemic and outbreaks of diseases that are not yet on anyone’s radar.

“What about the things we are not even thinking about?” he said. “No matter what, history has told us definitively that [outbreaks] will happen because [facing] infectious diseases is a perpetual challenge. It is not going to go away. The thing we’re extraordinarily confident about is that we’re going to see this in the next few years.” –

In his more than 30 years at NIH, Dr. Fauci has worked under six different presidents, who were both Democrats and Republicans, but the doctor has never publicly confirmed which political party he identifies with.

Honestly- with the way the world is now- so easy to travel anywhere across the globe and with millions and millions of people flying all over the world every single day- it was only a matter of time. Especially when a large portion of that travel involves a country as filthy, dirty, and disgusting as China.
