Anybody else feel like the US govt has been lying to us about the virus in the USA?
A guy dies from it in Wash. state on Friday, who just Thursday said they did not have cases. Now the nursing home is full of it and they have known that they were exhibiting unusual symptoms across the facility for nearly a week. A high-school kid has had symptoms for at least a week, and has gone to school off and on, but just now they decide that he is positive. 140 health care workers are under quarantine from UC Davis, which supposedly is one of the best containment facilities in the nation and was prewarned about the incoming patient transfer. 8400 travelers remain under attention in Cali alone, but all have been allowed to return directly from China and wander around their hometowns with no forced quarantine.
This virus is already spreading across the west coast via community transmission, and it will continue to spread. There is no longer containment possible in the United States. So now we will all get to see what the real Rnaught and death rates turn out to be.
"No testing, nothing to report, no official problem"--seems to be the mantra of lying govts everywhere.
PS-the governor of NYS just said that it is "inevitable" that NY will have a case soon. Want to make a bet that they already have a positive test and will announce it late Sunday afternoon, as though it showed up out of nowhere?
DD, the genetic test's are not very sensitive. They have about a 30%
false negative rate. This the main reason the Chinese went to using chest x-rays and symptoms for the diagnostic criteria, so they would release fewer infected people back into the general population.
