[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CNN reports that three more Christ Church members have tested positive according to a letter sent to parishioners.

However, the DC count remains at 10. Or were these parishioners all from VA or MD?[/quote]

Knowing that they tested positive because they were tested and the parishioners are only tested if/when they exhibit symptoms.[/quote]

DP. So of those those hundreds of parishioners who were told a week after their exposure that they should self-quarantine, many were likely infected but we won't know until they a truly symptomatic and get tested. In the week they didn't know to self-quarantine, they interacted with hundreds more people, who may not know they interacted with a person who may have been infected. When those folks develop symptoms, they post on DCUM "I have the sniffles, what should I do?" and get shouted down both "shut up, it's a cold" and "how dare you go out in public?" but they don't get tested.

Voila!
As I posted elsewhere, if this had been South Korea, the whole church would have been tested, multiple times, starting a week ago. Hundreds more infections could have been avoided there.[/quote]
