If you believe those numbers, sure. And you can't confirm what you don't test!

It looks like the CDC doesn't have the manpower or equipment to even perform the needed number of tests. Not that they don't want to, I think they just don't want to admit that they physically can't.

I hope Trump (or Pence?) steps in. What the **** is the CDC doing?

The reality in this country is people sick with this before they know they are sick with it are going to be making your meals, delivering your groceries, checking you out etc because they can't afford to stay home. Would you make the choice to leave your family potentially homeless in a couple of months vs toughing it out as long as you can work?

We can say that choice is selfish, but are you going to pay their rent?

There are some really hard choices that might need to be made by the government in the upcoming few months if they really want to contain this.

Vendor who sold concessions at Seattle XFL game tests positive for coronavirus

A vendor who sold concessions at CenturyLink Field during the February 22 Seattle Dragons XFL game has tested positive for COVID-19, but authorities say it is unlikely the stadium employee spread the coronavirus to anyone at the game.

"We have worked with the employee and the operator of the stadium, First and Goal, to evaluate potential exposures at the Feb. 22 Seattle Dragons game, and we've determined that the risk of infection to attendees from this person was low," a spokesman for Seattle's public health department told the Seattle Times. "We are following up with a few co-workers with close contacts of the employee at the February 22nd game to provide guidance on appropriate precautions"

Yes, that could/will happen here too (gotta love our cultural enrichment of 3rd world muslims; thanks Obama) but let's not pretend it was just a massive spread through the air without some help.

now explain the Italian outbreak

The man believed to be coronavirus patient zero in Italy is a Pakistani migrant refused to self-isolate after testing positive for the virus and continued to deliver food.
Health authorities asked the man to quarantine himself at his home in the Pavia area for two weeks, but he ignored the request and continued to work at a Chinese restaurant.

He then compounded the risk of spreading the virus by making home deliveries of Chinese food.
Authorities were alerted to the situation and the military intervened to return the man to his home.

"The Carabinieri have been busy reconstructing all the movements of the young man, in order to identify as many people as possible with whom he came into contact. In the meantime, the military has closed the Chinese restaurant," reports Free West Media.

The migrant now faces up to 3 months in jail for failing to self-isolate under article 650 of the Italian penal code.
