My guess is a lot more of us have it (or had it) than any of the data is showing and most are asymptomatic. And that's why (conspiracy/political talk ahead) the president is holding back testing kits. If there aren't millions of test kits available, then millions of people can't have it, right? It'd look really bad considering his comments up until this week if millions of people had it.
The good news if there is some truth to that... is at least most people are asymptomatic - just hopefully the 14 day isolation is enough to stop the spread to those who are at risk.
Really interesting to see what happens with the rest of this season. Unprecedented territory.

Can we get this merged with the other covid thread? It doesn't require its own thread.

I'm assuming the point of testing people that test positive is so we know how many people we know have confirmed cases and when those cases drop/ the people have recovered.
I want to know who these 3 other Nets players that tested positive. My guesses are Kyrie, Dinwiddie and Levert. Everybody on the Lakers will get tested Wednesday and i'm assuming at least 1 will test positive.

I'm leaning towards this sentiment that a lot more people have it than what is believed.
The fact the administration took too long to act swiftly when more cases were popping up in Europe/Asia in late January/February was pretty poor. Luckily this isn't as serious as it could've ended up being if this was a much more aggressive virus.

Going to close this for now since we have a thread already.
