I heard on CNN that the HHS workers (who wore no protection) who worked next to CDC workers (who wore protective gear) with possible victims still haven't been tested yet! What are they waiting for?

"Newsom said the state only has only received about 200 testing kits for the virus, an amount he called “simply inadequate.” But he said federal officials have promised him the state will get many more soon."

"Meanwhile, California Health and Human Services Agency Director Mark Ghaly said health officials would change the way they test for the virus by “shifting from order and community containment to one where we acknowledge that community spread is possible.” He did not elaborate."

that human beings are mocking others who might become gravely ill. Btw...can't believe no one on Dipshit's staff didn't insert something in his ridiculous speech the other day about respect and sympathy for the thousands who have died.

It shows the number of cases tapering off some.

Which doesn't jive with the news reports from around the world.

I think it is still in an exponential growth rate and I'm getting suspicious rates are getting suppressed.
