The key logic test is this: How is that those who travel extensively and/or come in contact with the public (firemen, police, dept store workers) were somehow the lagging indicators of a CV infection wave? For example, I was in NYC in Nov, Las Vegas during New Years, sharing a communal plate with an Asian couple at an upscale restaurant in LA in Jan, while my wife traveled back to NYC, then Miami in Feb.

But no, I somehow need to stay home because we need to slow the infection wave that first hit the social restricted & less economically flexible. That's right, because we're supposed to believe those who represent the vast majority of CV fatalities - elderly, co-morbids - were contracting CV first.

The whole construct falls on its face. The reason it makes no sense is because it's false. The mobile middle - those working, traveling, socializing - obviously got CV first. It's those who make up the current mortality stats that were infected last. QED

Further testing is merely going to prove that point. Which is why I assume Trump is already planning his pivot. He simply cannot afford to be caught on the wrong side of this issue as the truth is revealed.

We live in east of Seattle in the part of Washington which had the first cases and the first deaths from the coronavirus. On the fire department that I retired from 11 firefighters tested positive recently. Only one had any symptoms and his were so mild that he was coming to work and helping to spread it around. So of course he was blamed for all of the other cases however implausible that may be and may be fired.

University of Washington researchers found early on that the virus had been spreading around our community since sometime in January weeks before the first case was discovered. So chances are that the 10 persons testing positive with no symptoms more than likely were infected before they came into contact with the 1 guy who had symptoms.

I have assumed from the beginning that this was very contagious but that most people carrying it were not symptomatic or had light symptoms. This has now been confirmed repeatedly. The nonsense we are currently being subjected to is not producing the hoped for results. I do not know that the people in charge will want the results of testing that will be capable of showing this to be released.

It was amazing top me that two days after the governors “stay at home” order we already had data showing that our hospitals in this part of the state were clearing out... then amazingly the State Department of Health suddenly had a “software glitch” that prevented them from sharing these numbers. Strangely my best friend from work who is a Chief and high level FEMA official had no difficulty accessing the same data.
