South Korea has been testing tens of thousands of people a day. We have tested ten thousand people total. The math tells me thousands of Americans have been spreading the virus for many weeks.
One person can spread the virus to dozens of people. Someone who doesn't know they are infected goes work and spreads the virus. They go to the gym and spread the virus. They go out for dinner and spread the virus. Do the math, the virus is everywhere.
Trump did not want to test people because he was afraid it would hurt the economy and make him look bad. In his twisted mind he believes the virus will simply stop on its own. Dumb cannot explain this, its beyond dumb.
All I can do is sit here, shaking my head in disbelief. Hoping no one in my family gets the virus, including myself.
