He kept getting worse and was hospitalized with double pneumonia and placed in ICU. he died one day after the Coronavirus test was administered.

Snippet on the patient being sent home:


Snippet on why he was not tested initially:


Current testing ability is still hampered, despite drive-through testing. Coronavirus testing is up to 3-4k/ day. South Korea does 20k/day.
USA Coronavirus Testing by date: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...ing-in-us.html

Yeah, poorest countries in EU with way more limited resources are testing more per capita than the US.

Hopefully none of those 60 become positive, but the probability of that is low.
Just got the alert that Collin County is now up to 9 confirmed cases, with 66 people under observation.

I think it's past time for people to be crowding into the grocery stores. Go to work, but otherwise hunker down. Plenty of places are offering takeout, thank goodness.

I saw it even later today, with neighbors having friends come over to their house to visit (these are elderly people, too). It is just mind boggling.

So... People say not to hoard, but the same people say to stay home and hunker down? Does not compute.


I still go to the grocery store once a week. If they want me to stop going, then I will have to hoard... Hmm.

You would have to assume that food workers are not transferring the virus. News today came out that the virus transmission on the Diamond Princess originated with the food workers.
