Latest number is over 4000. 47,000 confirmed cases.
So here’s the thing - testing kits were in short supply here and in Italy.
Only people they’re sure that have the virus are being tested (like here)
So as the tests increase and we confirm the numbers, of course the number goes up.
What’s NOT being counted are those asymptomatic or showing weak signs that are being judged presumptive. I, personally, know of 3 people who are considered presumptive here in the states that have been refused tests. One had lung issues but she’s recovering - the other 2 had flu symptoms and recovered without incident.
It’s wildly believed in the medical establishment that a good chunk of the US already has it and most are recovering.
But what do you say when the government says that they have to call martial law because the “numbers are going up” because MORE people are being tested for a pandemic thats already close to saturating the country.
I don’t trust the government in good times and I sure as hell aren’t starting to now.
