I think you're onto it with the testing comment Curt. The testing is really NOT inspiring any confidence in the numbers. Two old ladies in Houston were waiting outside in the heat and humidity to get tested after they had filled out the paperwork, got too hot and decided to leave before getting swabbed. Couple days later they both get notified that they are positive. Too many reports of testing centers in FL which have 80% or more of the test kits reported as positive, and then when challenged they say "oh my bad, that was 0.8x%, not 8x%". Couple of skeptical nurses took sterile swabs directly from package and inserted into the lab kit (no swab, going from sterile to sterile with some air exposure which maybe might have the virus floating around I guess) and send them in and "surprise, you're positive for the WRD!" ------------- Max Charleston SC
