This tells you everything you need to know about how U.S. states plan to handle the coronavirus outbreak: Refrain from testing anyone and then report “zero community outbreaks.”

Last week, the State of Washington was monitoring 794 people for coronavirus symptoms. Yet by Friday of last week, the state had only tested a grand total of 28 people for the virus.

Today, the 794 number has fallen to 582, according to the Washington Dept. of Health website.

This means over 200 people have been released from “public health supervision,” yet the total number of people tested for the coronavirus in Washington remains at 28.

In other words, zero new people were tested.

So we now have states that are releasing hundreds of people from supervision without testing any of them.

People with no symptoms aren’t being tested, but the virus spreads in people who show no symptoms…
This is all taking place in an environment when we already know:

The virus can be carried by people who show no symptoms.
The incubation period of the virus is up to 27 days, not merely 14.
The symptoms of the virus can be easily confused with pneumonia, the common cold or other mild infections.
South Korea has managed to test thousands of people for the virus, which is how they’ve now discovered over 842 infections there, a number that has truly exploded over the last five days.

The State of Washington knows about 794 people who might be infected, yet they’ve only tested 28?

If South Korea had taken the same approach, they could be reporting only 30 infections today instead of 842. If you don’t test people, you don’t “confirm” infections.

The question is not how many people have been confirmed infected, the question is how many infected people have NOT been tested.

Life usually turns out to be more ridiculous than fiction.

That is why you hear: "You couldn't make it up!" so often.

Truth is stranger than fiction because fictions need to be believable.

I laughed, and then immediately wanted to cry.

Is it just me, or is this unconscionable?

Is it because the United States only has 12 state-based testing facilities with kits that actually work (per the CDC on 2/25)? Is it because they feel containment wouldn’t work, so they’ll let it spread and attempt mitigation after the fact?

I do believe that it is going to be up to individuals to protect themselves at this point. What I’m trying to figure out now is when to pull back from social contact, pull my kids from school (which they will hate), and SIP. I don’t think we’re there yet, but I do feel it’s approaching. I feel we’ll be lucky to make it to April.

My late husband was in politics and I can tell you government is that stupid!   We are all in trouble even though CRS says this is mild...it is going to kill a lot of us. Now that being said with 22,000 dead from Flu do any of you realize that? I don't because I don't know any of those 22,000 but if you have more than 100k dying people will start looking at this especially when they close schools.

I saw on a youtube post today that a man in America asked for a covid 19 test and was billed $3500 for it. This is why America isn't testing. Insurance won't cover it and individuals won't or can't pay. And the knock on effect will be people who don't have insurance covering up their symptoms so they don't go hospital or quarantine or wherever since they can't pay. As a result it'll spread so widely in the US. This is where a public health system works for the public good and a private one screws the poor AND the rich because it'll effect them all. Covid 19 will not respect wealth.

Please is the 3500.00 true? Please check that out to see if that is true? Then to have an insurance company say they will not pay is way too soon to know that. I think this could be fake news!

If it was a work trip then his L&I insurance(work insurance) should have covered it.
