this is likely the case imo. people were presenting and not being tested at hospitals. Hospitals have admitted that. relatives had flu tests coming back negative who were sicker than snot with flu like symptoms back in january and early feb. Neighbors kids too and they were tested... no flu. IMO it was spread around here after the Christmas holiday. My daughter stated lots of kids were missing school in jan. I wonder if a high percentage of people do not have symptoms or if they did have symptoms they just brushed it off as too much caffeine that day. (as I recall doing one day after my wife was sick for two weeks.) The downside to my argument/belief is if there are multiple strains or that many people can get it multiple times.
So we have 43,000 cases and a few days ago we were 40,000 and more than a week ago we were 20,000.... Not a major thing but in general the new case rates has taken a pause from its tremendous growth. We are testing now more than ever though not enough so we will see the numebr rise but it is not growing as fast as long as people stay the fuck home for the next 2 weeks so those tested as sick and those who were with them the past week can pass the time of the infection.
I see Pence on the tube all the time now taking charge. I expect him to start putting little gold stripes on his suit pretty soon, you know like Renquist did. Ya. It's important to look good and show em who da boss is.
So, in scanning some headlines I see that our old climate change doomsday buddy Greta Thunberg is dishing out a lot of advice on corona and talking about her experience with it, so and so forth. All good so far. Except if you read the articles carefully, there is no confirmation that she has ever had coronavirus - only that she went through a period where she felt like crap and assumes that it was corona and she states that she has never actually been tested because Sweden does not test for corona unless you have been hospitalized. Just sayin, this is the same hysterical, we-are-all-going-to die alarmist who tells us that all their messaging and decisions are based on science because that's how they roll, not just on how they feel or upon speculation. Okay fine I guess. https://bangordailynews.com/2020/03...ecovered-from-possible-coronavirus-infection/
Everyone' is a free market capitalist until their money is threatened...then they become a socialist.
I see that the Brits are agitated a bit over Prince Charles testing positive. Not that they spend much time worrying about him, but the Queen is in her 90's so she needs to be protected and there is concern about whether she has been exposed to the virus.
