Testing? What testing? I don't know anyone that has been tested, outside of my mom who at 90 yrs of age landed in the hospital a couple of weeks ago with a temp. The testing taking place in Canada is a complete and utter farce. The stats from same will be similar. Perhaps things are different in the USA, I sure hope so.
As far as the CDC report, while encouraging, somewhat, again, it doesn't exactly equate to an exact science on this topic. The exact same thing can be said about most strains of influenza.
From the CDC ...
“The virus does not spread easily in other ways,” including by touching surfaces, the website says. But that doesn’t mean touch is zero-risk.
“It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. This is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads, but we are still learning more about this virus,” the CDC wrote.
I was travelling about after work tonight, in areas where the masses congregate - WalMart, Home Depot, etc. I saw a LOT of people out and about, on a day where it has been raining non stop, and the temp was in the 40's. Out of all of the people I sat and watched coming and going like ants to syrup, I only saw 1 person donning a mask. Nothing positive to report here.
