I've wondered what 'total count' was as had seen something other day re "50 infected" at one spot... likely low totals too when you consider that early in the outbreak the sick were spitting at doctors/nurses etc. I saw one video where guy took his face mask off and coughed in faces of nurses/desk staff, and watched the 'elevator man' do his thing...wonder how smart they feel about that now???
