Just to inject my real world experience: my girlfriend is back at work and still hasn't been tested. Not everyone is consistently wearing a mask. 

i made a new sign for our door (hard to lock all the doors so we can go in and out with product)  its a big red stop sign with instructions to not come in and to call with any questions or to place orders... we had a guy from Minnesota come in today and started walking around like its target.  our book keeper asked him WTF and if he saw the big red stop sign on the door  ( the door labeled employees and shipping door only)  and he said its ok,  he has his mask on..... :#

Oh I can't go there, other forum.
I just walked into a shit show, luckily I am at minimum exposure.  Forklift operator's live in partner tested positive, worked at a plant down the road, she didn't mention it till today.  Company sent her home for two weeks.  But here in Iowa we are not testing until patient zero shows symptoms.  Quite the stressor to have to wait two weeks to see if someone is gonna get sick.

Another story from Iowa, on the news conference it was stated they had 166 positive tests at the Tyson plant in Columbus Junction in a work force over 1,100 to paraphrase.Left out they only had 200 test's"As of Tuesday, the Iowa Department of Public Health reported 166 tests
related to the Tyson plant in  Columbus Junction in southeastern Iowa's
Louisa County. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds said Wednesday that the state is
sending an additional 900 COVID-19 tests to the plant. The state sent
200 of the tests there last week."

4g I can wrap my head around in regards to Coronovirus. 

5g? No way...

i dont see the connections to either,  but I am not a fan of 5g...its roll out in rural areas is totally fucking us that live out here.  the range of 5g is a fraction of what it was for 3g and actual phone calls are drastically suffering.   this is really a matter for the 911 boards and the FCC in terms of what they allow the carriers to do and where.

That was a joke son...

More than 639,664 people have tested positive in the US with at least 30,985 deaths linked to the virus, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University.

About 15% of those deaths -- 4,811 -- were reported Wednesday alone. 

It's unclear whether the latest death toll includes probable cases. Federal health officials have said they'll start including probable cases, which meet clinical criteria for symptoms and evidence of Covid-19 -- but with no lab test confirming the disease.

I think the death counts are going to be so skewed from reports that I have read it sounds like unless you get hit by a truck and drug to your death its going to be attributed to Covid.  I dont see what it really matters at this point,  its a bad bug and no matter how many it does or doesnt kill the results are the same.  It needs to be taken seriously and massive efforts need to be taken to produce a anti-virus asap!

I don't know jimmy---before they were excluding any deaths unless they had a positive test prior to expiring and since they weren't testing afterwards that way under reports probable ones.
