As stated the issue is testing.. The drive through testing opened back up yesterday. It was shut down since last week due to no tests kits available. Just received a notice from the daily sun that all slots for tomorrows testing are taken and that they will resume testing when TEST KITS are available. Again, they are out of test kits after just 3 days of testing this week.

Until we get the needed amount of test kits the numbers published will continue to be inaccurate at best.. You can't tell how many are infected if you can't even test the symptomatic people.

Good thing they didn't get Covid 19

Last I knew THE UF Health survey being done at the Polo Grounds was running about 1% of those tested.

That was is Tampa

testing
 

Are they still testing at the Polo grounds? and are they allowing people with no symptoms to be tested?

Well, shame on the people who are still going. We arent toddlers where we have to be told where we can go. Common sense.

disappointing to see all the grandkids that have come to visit Grandma in TV lately

it's the folks from outside the bubble that have nothing else to do and don't know enough to stay away that will be TV's downfall

The reason for quarantine is to 1. stop the spread and 2. hospitals and staff can not handle hundreds of people sick at the same time. Follow the guidelines and think about your neighbor when and if you are outside your home. This too shall pass.

I live in Maryland and have a house in TV. I live in Carroll County - pop 168,000
So far 19 dead, 162 positive in the community with 1 death. The problem lies with the Nursing Homes. Two NH have been involved. One has a population of 95 with 81 positive patients and 31 positive staff members. There have been 17 deaths at this facility. A second Home has 1 dead, 12 positive patients and 2 staff positive. Outside of the NH facilities there are 54 positives with 1 death. The breakdown of positives are 35 women and 19 men. By age 13 20-29, 6 30-39, 11 40-49, 16 50-59, 6 60-69, 1 70-79, 1 80-89. It will probably get worse before it gets better. We have been on stay at home for 2 weeks or so. BE SAFE - I wear a mask when leaving home for groceries or scripts.

By now all churches have been on lock down and have been for weeks. Most if not all are live streaming their services. Check it out

Consider the fact that we do not have children playing with other children and going to school, bringing the diseases home with them. This being a senior community, we do not have a lot of workers going to and returning from daily jobs, also transmitting germs with them. If you think about it, we do not get the common illnesses here that many suffer over the winter months up North. Even though we have activities where we socialize with each other, we do not have the day to day close proximity working families have up North. Plus, some illnesses do not survive in warmer weather. But, I believe the primary reason we are not inundated with illnesses is because we don't have the young folks here that bring sickness home from school with them, as they do in other areas. That's just my opinion, and I am sure there are plenty of flaws to my reasoning. But, it is a thought. Remember when coworkers would come to work with the flu because they did not want to use their sick leave? Remember when parents would send sick children to school?

Do you mean COVID-19?

As I mentioned many Chinese nationals reside in and visit that area of the state of Washington. I don't know if any had been or were visiting from Wuhan before or during the time she was there. The illness she experienced was like many who have been through a bout of the virus have described. So it could have been the Wuhan or Chinese virus, COVID-19.

Wait for it. It will come. I can’t believe the churches are holding services. I’m back in NY now and it spreads like wildfire. We were seeing a few cases here and there then all of a sudden it was everywhere. I got it and not sure how or when but I’ve been sick for 3 weeks. Had all the symptoms even loss of tastes and smell. Not back yet. Please take this seriously because it isn’t a joke.
