So there's 373 people who had it and didn't know it. No issues, no dying on the job. There is no mention of any of the 373 had issues at home with sick family members but I doubt there was since they were at work.

I think there are a lot more false positive results than they say.

      Everything I've read or seen on lame stream media do agree on one thing-the china cooties tests are NO where Near accurate as the Medical profession would like them to be. And there are untested unproven tests on the market along with substandard PPEs and ventilators. My 2 large grocery stores here in Willow Springs have less meat to sell along with slightly higher pricing. I have enough frozen "stuff" fer a bit. Everybody here keep yer powder dry and stay alert.  RIDE SAFE.

I whole heartedly agree.  This may just be the proverbial, "tip of the iceberg".

it is scary though isn't it a lot more people than we think has this virus not knowing they have it and can spread it to someone who is higher at risk to get sick and die. 

My age 78 mother in law came down to our house this past weekend after in isolation by herself at her home the past 2 months,  was surprised her being terrified thought she was just going to sit in her SUV and chat got out and sat on our patio for 30 minutes or so before leaving to go back home.  Just would hate to give it to anyone we know or do not know accidentally.

Also very sad that millions of chickens and other animals and food/crops are being wasted due to this virus whether it be lack of plants open to process the food/animals, or whatever else. 

I for one will never pay unless a MUST have 3-4 bucks per dozen of eggs or say 5-6 bucks for a lb. of hamburger.

It will be interesting to see those 373 people in a week or so, I wonder how many it will take hold of if any?

We had a cluster here that a high percentage of people that attended a wedding got infected, they interviewed some and they thought it was great the wedding went ahead anyway as everyone was pretty much fine ......now the father of the bride has died..

But we got off lightly with still under 1500 infections country wide and only 200 odd active cases now...unfortunately it got into a couple of rest home so the death rate rose from 0.2 to 4 per mil

I've been reading good reports coming out of NZ.

IMO this is a good news thing, all these people tested positive and didn't know it...a symptomatic.

Now we need to presume all these people were adhearing to the guidelines of stay at home when they were not at work as well as staying home from work if in the presence of someone who is sick.

So let's break this down a little. 373/5= 74.6,....5 groups of 74 employees to a group...370

1) live alone

2) live with a significant other...1 person.

3) live with significant other and child(ren)

4) live with significant other and children and extended family.

5) live as a single person but with parents and siblings.

I think this covers a pretty wide group of living arrangements of 370 people. All of these people being diagnosed as positive but showing no symptoms or signs of being sick. All supposedly following all the safety guidelines of social distancing as well as self quarantine if coming in contact with a presumed case of C19.

This sounds encouraging to me.

        And now "they" are saying this may have started spreading here in The U S of A in December 2019. Never ceases to amaze me how Much we do NOT now bout this Deadly chit. RIDE SAFE.
