[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]And yet, the US reported over 500 cases yesterday[/b]. 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)

To clarify: that's over 500 new cases in one day, not total.[/quote]
