      How is this not anything but a near total failure - 5K of 825K people, not even 1%, any data gathered by this would be borderline pointless, the sample size really isn't large enough.

          Same as here in Dallas. Two facilities, each that can do 250 a day, in a metro area just a hair bigger than Philly. The sample size is insanely small, means nothing. We'd get the same results if 10,000 or 5,000,000 were infected.

              I've been seeing this for hours now - hasn't this already been recommended federally for a week?

                I don't know. But the Salt Lake County lab-confirmed cases is higher compare the other counties. So I guess each county is handling it their own way.

                    I was wondering something similar. Of course it has the most cases - it has the most people.

                    In Nebraska, the same can be said about Douglas and Sarpy counties, we have more than half the state's population.

                      Yes!

                                Sounds like the water add some added flavor, namely racoons.

                                  Coronavirus: Indonesian village uses 'ghosts' for distancing patrols

                                  A village in Indonesia has reportedly taken to using volunteers dressed as ghosts to try to scare people into social distancing over the coronavirus.
                                  Kepuh village, on Java Island, started deploying the patrols at night last month. In Indonesian folklore, ghostly figures known as "pocong" are said to represent the trapped souls of the dead. Indonesia so far has about 4,500 cases and 400 confirmed virus deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University. But there are fears, according to experts, that the true scale of the infection across the country is much worse.
