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.
I'm just wondering if all these folks that are REALLY worried about it are self-quarantining?
