In reply to the discussion: Good news on the case growth trend. [View all]Blue_true
(31,261 posts)19. Like I pointed out last night, China took brutally drastic action,
going house to house to test people in the one hot spot, even testing people that had no symptoms to confirm they were ok. In the end, China had something like 65 million people that it was concerned about most, even as it clamped down on the rest of the country.
The virus has spread to every point in the USA, save really isolated places. We potentially have 300 million plus people exposed to this virus and we still have idiots meeting in big groups. I just feel that we are in unchartered waters, maybe New York, California and Washington State have gotten ahead of the virus, but we likely have new hotspots forming in big states like Florida, Texas, Georgia and controls from the state level in those places is bad.
