> That gap between admission and diagnosis raises concerns about health care workers being unknowingly exposed at Davis—a potential problem anywhere. ...
Then later:
> The UC Davis memo explains the delay in testing by noting that neither Sacramento County nor the city of Davis’ public health agency performs the test. The hospital had to request the CDC do it. “Since the patient did not fit the existing diagnostic criteria for Covid-19, a test was not immediately administered,” the memo says. ...
Finally:
> As The Washington Post reported Tuesday, while South Korea has performed more than 35,000 tests, the US has done fewer than 500, and only the CDC and a handful of local public health agencies even have the diagnostic system.
The press corps did a fantastically poor job at the President's press conference today. Only one question about testing, and a softball at that.
Now there's no telling how many are infected, or where they've dispersed to.
Then there's this:
> ... the California Department of Public Health announced that the patient was a resident of Solano County—which, as other reports have pointed out, is the location of one of the Air Force bases being used for quarantines of people who’ve returned to the US from countries with the disease.
