Corona Virus way bigger than reported

The Corona Virus is getting big.  The official count in the United States is over 1,800 jini.  One professor from John Hopkins said that the 1800 is not accurate. ("Don't believe the numbers you see": Johns Hopkins professor says up to 500,000 Americans have coronavirus) He said that the 1800 is the number of people who have gotten tested and confirmed.  As of the past two weeks, Donald Trump was telling us that there were test kits, but when people went to the hospitals, there were no test kits.  So the government is not testing people.  The state governments were complaining about the same issues with the federal government.  At the very least, the feds are not keeping up with the spread rate of the disease.  The professor estimates that for every one person confirmed positive, there are probably 40-50 other people who have contracted the disease.  Therefore, the number is actually way higher, perhaps as much as half a million.

Considering how the federal government is not transparent regarding the test kits, most people do not trust the government.  So I believe the John Hopkins professor.

Around the four corners:
  • 9 in AZ
  • 10 in NM
  • 3 in UT
  • 33 in CO. 
For the most part, it is the travelers who are contracting the disease in foreign lands, then they are bringing the virus home, and from there, it just spreads. They are contracting the disease in places like China, Italy, Egypt, Washington, and New York.  What can we do about the travelers?
