The problem is those 68 were and are wandering around (maybe 2weeks ago or today) and they have been infecting multiple others (it is highly contagious). Those infected may be non-symptomatic and the spread is exponential. Many experts believe that nationwide there could be 50% of all people infected. We have virtually no testing for non-symtomatic people. In an older community like the Villiages it could be 80% carrying CV.
