A pathetic amount

Public health official in Ohio estimates there at least 100,000 cases in Ohio right now: https://thehill.com/policy/healthcar...L9f2QKOgkSFf6g

I feel like there’s been a lack of testing partly because Trump wanted to keep the numbers low.

Boris looked a bit ill during that speech as well.

The local news here just ran a story that it’s impossible to get tested locally.

They said the health department says go to your local physician and physicians are saying go to the health department. The reporter recorded the calls to prove the runaround. Then they had a Skype interview with a woman who looked really sick saying she’s been self isolating for two weeks and has been trying to get tested but can’t. She’s just locked up in her apartment alone trying to be responsible.

The irony of both of us going there hasn’t escaped me. Frankly though distant ideologies can get ****ed. Ain’t no government ever more unforgiving and cruel than a virus.

Trudeau’s wife has it.

I’m pretty damn scared to go to the doctor today. I don’t have a fever so I don’t think I have it but something is up with my breathing that I feel like I shouldn’t ignore. I just gotta be careful, I guess.

The whole way this is being dealt with shows that China and S. Korea are lightyears ahead of the United States. We’re living in the ****ing dark ages. They tested everyone. Got real statistics. And got people segregated quickly. We’re not even testing people and we’ve known this was coming for weeks.

None taken, my friend. Not sure why I should be offended either. Don't shoot the messenger, even if the messenger is relaying terrible info? lol
