They took 320k random swabs from people who weren't screened but would most likely be good candidates to have COVID and retroactively tested them. They only found .5%. That is a pretty huge and significant sample size.

In Guangdong, they went back and retested 320,000 samples originally taken for influenza surveillance and other screening. Less than 0.5 percent came up positive, which is about the same number as the 1,500 known Covid cases in the province.
According to this https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 there are only 1,352 cases in Guangdong province. None of these numbers are adding up.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Why are so many employees showing symptoms? It seems that hand washing etc doesn't really help unless you're all masked up?
They may not have been meticulous in handwashing. And Covid19 seems to spread more easily than other hospital germs.

So then this whole story about retesting 320k is a farce.

Democrats are about twice as likely as Republicans to say the coronavirus poses an imminent threat to the United States, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted this week.

Quote
And more Democrats than Republicans say they are taking steps to be prepared, including washing their hands more often or limiting their travel plans.

Democrats are all about hysterics. Save the whales. Save the penguins. Save the Arctic. Global Warming. Racist!!

Republicans have better things to do with their lives.

I saw a few segments from Fox - including Tucker Carlson - criticizing Trumps handling of the virus. It’s already at the point that everyone is taking it seriously so now we are ready to argue over nuance of how serious each side is, and how much blame Trump deserves.

The importance of flattening the curve:

But how would this be helping to this extent if the testing is inadequate?

Israel taking additional measures.

Banning gatherings of 100+ people (major impact on large shuls). Anyone with fever or difficulty breathing must self-quarantine and call to be tested.

Avoid visiting the elderly. Avoid accompanying people to the hospital unless absolutely necessary.

At this point not closing schools. Universities to implement remote learning.
