    If you are saying some areas in your state can remain open while others should be locked down then you are not serious.

    But there is testing. I know of people who got them easily here in Wilmington. (negative btw)
    I understand the challenges, the threat of prosecution or fine will keep most people in place.

    But the logistics could be done. Likely using City, county and state officers.

    Anyone who drives along I-40 between Wilmington and Raleigh knows their is a trooper hiding every 14 feet anyway. :)

    Hundreds of millions? It would be nice if that was the case.

    Dead serious. IF you could actually lock down the hot spots and keep the current social distancing laws in place everywhere as they have been for 10 days. I support large gatherings banned etc.
    But everyone's work does not need to be shut down in every single location.

    Yeah. If hundreds of millions have this than it is not even as bad as the flu.

    I am amazed that you are a medical professional. You certainly don't seem to know much about how viruses spread.

    You've been downplaying this every step of the way. No, hundreds of millions don't have it yet, but millions do. And many of those millions don't know they have it yet.

    Which is why it is likely untrue. The flu doesn't overwhelm our healthcare systems. We don't take the convention center and turn it into a hospital and send hospital ships to major ports to deal with the flu.

    We're heading quickly toward 20k cases a day. Last four days 10k plus. Yesterday 17k plus. Today over 15k with a third of the day to go.

    I thought this would stop at 1,000 cases. Weird we don't see that guy much anymore.

    Someone help me out? Are there less than 15 cases yet?

    maybe he meant 15 a minute because 15X 60 x24= 21,600 a day and that’s where we’re headed.

    I can't keep the silliness straight. I thought I recalled the "cardinal" poster saying this wouldn't be more than 1k cases. He's mostly on the approval thread now....
