Those kind of cases definitely indicate a community outbreak that could keep sustaining itself, from what I’ve read (I think they call that a “seeded” event or something).
I saw a tweet from a guy who’s been posting a lot that he got an email from a school district in Michigan saying they have a student who has tested positive. If true I guess we’ll see that in tomorrow’s news. This stuff about the seeding came from an organization that charts this stuff and has been mentioned by Bill Gates - so they seem pretty legit.
Really important is the info about the fact that these “seeding events” can take about 10 weeks to mature - creating “clones” of the original outbreak, all things being equal. Which of course they won’t be in many places as the vigilance is way higher. But still - nobody is in the clear just because the USA doesn’t “pop” in the next 2 or 3 weeks with a bunch of cases. Will try to post their graphics on tomorrow’s thread.
I just remembered a quote by I believe it was Robert MacNamara. Paraphrasing, it used to be expensive to kill millions of people using armies, now cheaper using (other means) nuclear weapons.
