Fuck yea lets just round up every wild bear. All of them. Place them in close proximity under zero agricultural regulations. No antibiotics or vets. Fuck that shit. Then when one gets sick just murder it and chop it up into pieces and make medicine. Can't forget about the meat too. While we're at it lets just collect all the animals. Make medicine and eat them too. Ill call my new medicine/butcher shop a WET MARKET. It's a vicious circle in that country. The actual Chinese not like Chinese Americans(BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT THE SAME) are discussing.

China is doing literally anything to make it look like they have this under control. Manufacturing test kits without quality and control to rush production. Literally funding a massive miss information campaign to blame the United States as the start of SARS-2. I'm 100% positive that they don't have containment of COVID-19. I bet they just accepted the 2% population loss and sent their people back to work to try and prop their economy up. Because if the U.S. Economy Depresses/Ressecess then they are fucked.

You’re all crazy if you think this means anything. This also happened in NJ
Most testing now is commercial and commercial labs are not made to report negative results. The percentage positive ratio is statistically meaningless now

Large asian population. Highly mobile workforce (travel). Lots of people packed into small area (DC suburbs).
Check, check, check.
Makes sense.

There is zero link to ethnicity with this... Why even bring up that there is a large asian population? Didn't most of the US cases originate from Europe?

Correlation does not equal causation but "zero link" is a bit of an exxageration considering the origin is Wuhan, China, and the data show very high correlation between US state infection rates and US state % asian ethnicity. Facts are not racist. [Here](https://i.redd.it/6dxnjxo5euo41.jpg).

You forget about the death cult from south korea, and they got it from china.

They got it from China initially and then they contained it very well. South Korea is one of the better places to be right now. So why does ethnicity factor into this again?

If you bring up ethnicity it makes it harder not to call it WuFlu, Mr. WuFlu. /s
Yes korea contained it well, but the korean death cult had a lot of members and was able to spread it very quickly.

I will say there is a decent chance the virus was released intentionally by another government(especially with how trump has been acting towards china and how stupid he acts), but it did start in china.
Something just feels way off to me that there are so many people trying to change the origin through social engineering and not even attempt to say it was an attack from another nation.

You’re really not making much coherent sense. I’m legitimately trying to follow what you’re saying but it isn’t coming together into any specific meaning for me.

You mentioned Ethnicity when I didn't. The social engineering going on is mainly focusing on shaming people about blaming people's Ethnicity and how they can't change it.

I mentioned ethnicity because it seemed like you were disagreeing with the person who said ethnicity didn’t matter.
I think you need to be a bit more clear with who “they” and “people” are in your comments because I’m not sure who you’re referring to.

Hi, moderator for r/coronavirusMD here. Maryland DOH is no longer reporting the number of negative or pending tests, as someone in this comment section has already mentioned. We have a reported test capacity of at least 1000 per day at Johns Hopkins alone.

517 tests total.
They are probably just testing the worst of the worst cases right now.

517 tests | +316 since last week
If you think that’s wrong, argue with the article, not me.

From the Maryland Department of Health page :
Now that COVID-19 testing has expanded and is available through commercial laboratories, MDH is no longer reporting negative and pending numbers of tests in Maryland. All positive results obtained by commercial laboratories are reported to MDH and included in the confirmed cases count.

Can confirm as I live in MD and was sick last week and wanted to be tested. Must be over 65, have a pre-existing condition, or severe breathing difficulty. Per my county’s local health dept.

Maryland has only done 382 tests and found 288 positive cases.
Virginia has done 3,700 tests with 254 positives.
DC 1,229 and 116 positives.
Why has Maryland done so pathetically few tests, with most of them positive?

Because they want people to STAY HOME.
Health care facilities need to reserved for people who actually NEED care. A young healthy person who tests positive for the virus is going to be instructed to SELF QUARANTINE.
Having everyone and their mother flood to hospitals for testing will only increase the likelihood of spreading the virus. That's why you need to FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES FOR SELF QUARANTINE.
Do yourself a favor. Just assume you have it and stay the fuck home for 2 weeks.

That seems to suggest that MD is only testing people with symptoms, and other states are maybe testing anyone who says they have been exposed?

LeoMarius

Which is foolish, because most people have minor symptoms but are highly infectious. It takes 5 days or more to become symptomatic, but you could infect many people before then.

Oh yeah I'm not saying I agree with only testing based on symptoms, especially with this specific illness. That's downright dumb.

Seeing these low test numbers made me doubt both how serious the state is taking this and how prevalent the illness is in the state.

Our government has stopped reporting negative results on the 3/20. We have no way to know now how many people are getting tested unless hospitals are saying it.

The issue is that they aren't reporting negatives anymore so the number isn't accurate. Also worth complaining about (probably moreso), but the actual number is wrong now.
They get their data from here:

Nice tracker!
It's concerning how some states with high positives, have very low tested numbers (LA, MI, NJ!, MA).
If we don't test everyone suspected, we'll never know how bad it is... Or how it's tending over time.

New Jersey with 890/1240, assuming these numbers are accurate.
Have to assume all these very high positives are basically testing only people with Pneumonia.
