South Korea is probably the best country to look at. First world with good healthcare and not likely to hide anything.

The problem with that is they are responding to this way better than we are, I mean way way better.....SK also has drive thru testing facilities and a population base willing to self quarantine....we got folks that go to parties when they know they have it.

Up, up, & away we go.
I agree we are half assing it but in terms of true mortality rate they show what it could be.

Amazing what happens when we finally start testing for it instead of downplaying it.

This is what we are incapable of doing in the greatest nation on earth. A small cruise boat on the Nile has a former passenger test positive and they now test EVERYONE on the boat discovering 45 new cases. We are barely testing anyone. Disgraceful.

A consequence of CoV-19 may be really low prices at the gas pump. A price war could plunge crude oil prices below $20/barrel for the first time since 2004 which is also the last time the average price at the pump was below $2/gal in the US. (Obviously inflation and gas taxes change this) but still this is kinda insane...

We can test all we want but it is already everywhere. What good is testing at this point gonna do? Find out someone has it then go and test others to see who has it and don’t? Public just needs to be advised over and over what to look for and stay away from public if have symptoms. It’s going to do no good to test when they already show signs of having it.
