Day is not over yet, will increase. Deaths also increased.

How can we reopen schools? If restaurants, bars, beaches opening too early caused spikes, what will opening schools do?

MSNBC:
7 hours ago · Dr. Aileen Marty says her hospitals have treated patients for COVID-19 who are " asymptomatic as far as they can tell, but when we do chest x-rays on these people, 67% show lung damage. They may feel great, but they are not great".

2. Shall we start a betting pool for when we'll

hit 100,000 cases a day?

On a more serious note, why are hospitals doing chest x-rays on people asymptomatic? It just seems odd.

5. And why are they in hospitals with no symptoms

Do they just mean no cough or fever?

7. Yeah. There is just something missing there.

Even in normal times, I can't imagine hospitals just doing chest x-rays willy-nilly. Perhaps they're doing them on those testing positive precisely because of the nasty lung involvement. But still.
