[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s really disturbing to watch the tallies increase daily in most states, while DC hasn’t reported a single new case in days. What the hell are they doing?[/quote]

Not testing! I have it and they refused to test me because I’m low risk. [/quote]

Not testing. Not in DC, barely at all anywhere else in the country, when you look at testing performed per capita compared to other countries. And yet, the US reported over 500 cases yesterday. We are in, deep.
And then there's all the misinformation/underplaying of likely big-deal realities in the name of preventing panic: 
- reality of pre- and a-symptomatic transmission, 
- usefulness of masks, 
- time it remains on surfaces (technical term is "on fomites"), 
- impact on children (see [url=https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30154-9/fulltext]here[/url] for the 10 y/o who looked totally asymptomatic but not only was he positive, he also had radiological evidence of impact on his lungs. We don't know the long-term consequences)
(You can draw plenty of arrows between those four items)
