The low numbers testing positive may mean that the disease has not spread far enough throughout the WA population—yet.
Remember, this nasty virus has been doubling individuals infected every three days.
At that rate it will take over a month to work its will on WA state.
Here is the full Nets statement on four players testing positive for the coronavirus. Only one of them is symptomatic at this time, and everyone from the travel party is being asked to remain isolated and monitor their health.

These same 9 doctors also work at Grady, where my son does contract work.
By the way, his boss a “flubro” and told my son that they would not get better PPE in early February because this was all a hoax to take down the President. My 20-something son went in and asked his boss for better protection while it was still available. His boss has now done a 180, and of course, there is NO PPE for anyone including my son. So thanks for that too, IJTFBs
cgbg, concur that this is a nasty virus and still has a long way to go. I also am supportive of measures to slow the spread and keep it out of high risk populations as much as possible.
What I find interesting is despite the near hysteria from some quarters, the number of positive cases is a low as it is in those tested. It’s not easy to get a test so this is usually done in symptomatic individuals and not all comers. I’m still not quite sure what to make of this disparity but do find it interesting as am watching it.
I’m in the health care field and this virus is one of the most significant and sobering ones I’ve seen in my career. We have a ways to go before we turn the corner.
