The amount of US cases has been doubling every 3 days as is the amount of new cases per day.

In Italy its shooting up daily, more than 2k additional cases per day, even though they are under lockdown. Why aren't their numbers of new cases going down?

I hope the factories increase productions and stores re stock and these people can go sell on the regular market for whatever.

Can be many reasons
 
-5 day average to start seeing symptoms
-increased testing
-family members infecting each other
-people ignoring restrictions

People who ignore restrictions are highly irresponsible, selfish people. That is why Israel had to track people using their phones to ensure they keep to the quarantine...

You don’t go anywhere. Best would be to make a phone call to your dr or video appointment. Bad idea to visit dr or hospital when you may be contagious. The Dr can advise if there is a need to get tested. And then most likely you won’t get tested regardless of what the dr thinks.

You ? No where... You stay away from humans ..

At this point, we don't have the capacity to test every Joe shmoe

The main things you can do is isolate yourself and constant cleaning.

As long as you don't have any severe conditions like extreme vomiting shortness of breath etc etc you stay home, avoid all people. Hydrate, eat healthy.. wash your hands again.

I am not a doctor but I'm pretty sure that's what they advise.

Btw change your pillow cases!

He should go sell it to medical facilities for cost price.

Join the rest of the country.
Why was the CDC initially so reluctant to produce test kits? We’re there any regulations that kept this back?

I don't think that medical facilities are having such a hard time procuring this stuff.

I'd like to think not. I think that they have a different supply chain logistics. But yeah they may have shortages too.

There are not enough test for the general public to get tested no matter what our leaders are saying. So for now you just have to wait unless you start showing signs.

That is probably the smartest idea.
