What happened after until recently?

Also, when is recently?

Also, what is "hygienic" about mask-wearing?

You don't hear news that Asian countries (commie bastards excluded), where mask wearing is not an issue, are having problems. Basically, we don't have the will to contain it because we are snowflakes.

Not sure this is accurate. Due to a recent spike, South Korea just implemented stricter guidelines which are reminiscent of the ones I’ve seen Chicagoans adhering to very faithfully throughout the summer and fall.

Japan decided early on to “live with the virus” and therefore has pretty limited testing data compared to most other countries. They have ramped testing up and are seeing a spike in cases that mirrors most of the rest of the northern hemisphere.

We don’t know what’s actually going on in China. Hell, we don’t really know what is going on other than whatever version of the truth the media and internet tells us. I wear a mask and am a huge germophobe and I ended up with it. If not for very mild symptoms I wouldn’t even have known to go get tested and isolate.

I’d love to know how many people in the US have actually had it because I’m sure it must dwarf the official tally based on testing.

Now do an explanation of how sub-Saharan Africa contains COVID better than rural Louisiana.

Lack of massive testing initiatives like we have here keeps it from being a casedemic. The population is quite young. The population doesn’t travel as much as developed nations. They have much bigger problems.

One important difference was leadership.  Except in Tanzania, their national leaders took COVID seriously and worked to get public buy-in for the shelter-in-place restrictions that followed.

Looks like some counties also developed innovative approaches for testing people.

Everyone. I was the only one that had it. The only person outside the household that I had exposure to that met the guidelines (inside 6 feet for 15 cumulative mins or more) was during a medical appointment the Wednesday before my symptoms appeared on Sunday. Both of us were wearing masks and the medical professional was wearing gloves during the exam. I had sanitized my hands before entering the facility, after entering the facility, and when I got back to my vehicle. I also used an alcohol wipe on the door handle and steering wheel.

Hanging out inside a medical facility doesn't strike me as a great idea right now. But I'd still put my money in one of your kids.

A 32 year old friend of my son's, woke up short of breath yesterday.  10 hours later he was in ICU with blood clots in both lungs.  He's stable today.  There were no known pre-existing conditions and he was in good health and in shape.  According to his wife, they had both been compliant with the public health recommendations and both worked from home.  Scary shit for sure.

how did new york do and california do on deaths?  Cases mean nothing at this point and the tests are a waste of time.  Early on they help but now they just do nothing more than fear monger.  The virus, is everywhere now. 

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covid19-death-rates-us-by-state/
Nov 18 - 1923 deaths. Highest number since May 7. 7 day moving average going up 5% per day

That sounds like a good way to get infected
