My home county....

SCOUT5
.........has about 120K people in it.  As of yesterday there was 117 people that have tested positive for this virus and eight people have died from it.   The peak may be here or yet to come.  They have opened drive through testing, but I don't know how that works as I have read up on it and don't need it right now.

So it's here and enough people have been infected for it to really spread.   Closing the schools probably help slow it down as much as anything.    The local hospitals have been able to keep up.

My DIL manages a unit at a downtown Louisville hospital.   Her unit  is full of virus infected patients.  They just received, IIRC, 18 elderly patients from the same nursing home where there was an outbreak.

    I checked the CDC website this morning to see if the cases in our County had increased since I last looked about a week to two weeks ago. Fortunately nothing has changed. We are about the lowest in our State of TN. (If not THE lowest.) As we are about the most remote and rural in our State. (Johnson County.) Extreme NE tip of the state, I expected that, I hope we maintain that. We are and have been at 2 cases with no deaths yet.

    Boone, NC. roughly a half hour drive from here, has not been so fortunate. (College town.)

    Our Medical infrastructure in this County is completely inadequate to deal with this, if we get slammed. People will be taken to Boone, Johnson City or Bristol. I do not even think our County Hospital, if you can even call it that, has overnight capability.

    84, some food or thought. 8 tested positive in the Boone NC area. Guess how many are in the hospital, 0.
    All recovering nicely at home. Did have one that tested positive in county near buy, he dig get sick, he did die, complications related to CVID-19. Every day seasonal flu will do the same thing.

    I find it interesting that, you may be sick or you may be dead...but you don't officially have COVID-19 until you have tested positive.

    TESTED! 
    And the results are positive.

    This means, a county that does a lot of testing will have a higher number than a county that does no testing.  How 'bout that?

    Sounds like a comment from a reporter at a Trump briefing.
    No insult intended to you kind sir.
