And think about how many others each of them have come into contact with while they were waiting to get tested - or didn't know they needed to be. Everything I've read on how to get a grip on stopping this virus says that the key is massive testing and then exhaustively tracing contacts, neither of which we're doing right now. The numbers we're looking at today most likely reflect what happened two weeks ago. A look at the trend lines to project out two weeks from what is unknowingly happening today, and it looks pretty grim... It will be interesting to see what impact the stay-at-home orders have in various areas.
Good decision to pull your kids from school when you did! |
