    Its very possible he was exposed to someone who traveled, but as you can see, the information is very poor.

    so far if trend continues he’s either deluded or lying.

    we’re like 2 weeks into officials saying one thing and being immediately proved wrong.

    we also know that big picture the admins Mo is to lie first, second and always. Even if subordinates don’t want to lie at that point they’re in the middle of lies and likely recirculating lies.

    all that said... tests or no tests I agree with the conclusion... assume you have it if feeling bad.

    Part of this is bad terminology. Test kits and tests are different, for example. I believe test kits here can each test hundreds or maybe even 1000 people according to the Colorado governor? It's really sad that we can't even get straightforward information on how hard it is to test someone.

    If you get hospitalized and there's no known contact of a source, you do qualify.

    If you are in direct contact with a known infected or have recently traveled to place of outbreak, you qualify if you show symptoms (even without hospitalization)

    I was reading how China wants to spin this into a win for their country. They messed up early, but cracked down hard and basically contained in their country. They are now sending supplies to Italy to help apparently.

    I was also reading they want to be the first to develop the vaccine and be seen as saviors rather than bad guys. We'll see.

    A big part of that is just testing and finding out "oh ****, it's been here."

    SMH. Lots of Warriors games are under that number. :D

    But on the serious, what a random ****ing number. It's like... um, uh, keep using our buses and trains, PLEASE, but um, it's not, like, safe to go to an arena!

    That seems like a highly arbitrary number.
