Lots of Chinese in the DC area. Can’t believe it hasn’t popped-up here.
How many people have been tested in metro DC?
If you don’t test (and/or the test isn’t the proper test) you couldn’t find it until seriously ill folks show up at the local hospital.
Once they start serious large scale testing we will have a better idea whether this is a nothingburger or a real threat—and by that time it will either have spread like crazy or not at all.
At this stage we know amazingly little.
My approach—stock up for a no-warning long quarantine, and then stop worrying about it.
Yes, I thought this would be happening in Asian communities. Of course, they're not telling us the race of the people infected.
Is there a "Chinatown" there? If there is, the virus would show up there.
It's the filth that appears in a culture that's been entrenched in an area for some generations.
