This is one reason it is so important we get the testing ramped up. I don’t know where you live Doug, but as your post implies, almost certainly you had plenty of cases of COVID over the last few weeks, but until a community is tested it does not feel real. Once it feels real people are open to start changing their behavior.
Even though the President’s speech was incoherent, inconsistent and full of errors, the travel restrictions announced by Trump last night may help a little on the margins, but the threat is not foreign transmission. It is community spread. I work in a hospital and we have been talking about this seriously for a while now, and even so it was not until just yesterday we started converting most office appointments to telephone appointments, and cancelled most groups. I was still shaking hands with every patient until last Friday. As standard practice I do wash my hands many times a day, and slather with sanitizer before and after greeting each patient, but still, I assume I have been exposed to COVID19, and may even have been sub clinically infected, and have probably exposed others to the infection as well.
