The total number of cases in each country indicates otherwise. Currently compared to every other country on Earth, we have quarantined it the best. Even if you assume there are some undetected cases in the US (which is likely), it's still not even close. It WILL spread across America, it's just a matter of time. You are speculating that the CDC will not be able to handle it. Take a step back and calm down. Maybe evaluate where you get your news and why they are trying to fear monger.

  I guess we haven't been watching the same press conferences. Care to elaborate what you had issue with?

> The total number of cases in each country indicates otherwise. The number of cases in the US is wrong. We know it's wrong because if it was right, we wouldn't have cases stemming from unknown sources. > Currently compared to every other country on Earth, we have quarantined it the best. No. We've put our collective heads in the sand, and hidden from testing any significant number of people. > It WILL spread across America, it's just a matter of time. This is the outcome of a bad quarantine. > You are speculating that the CDC will not be able to handle it. The CDC has already mishandled it. They created red tape making the criteria for administering testing very narrow. They coerced medical establishments to only use their test kits, rather than being able to pick from known working kits proven elsewhere in the world. Then, the kits they issued were flawed, and they forbade medical professionals from administering them. They have literally done nothing right yet. Have you seen their official webpage on Covid-19? It doesn't even describe the common chain of symptoms; instead it has multiple bullet points about Covid-19 Stigma... You get better and more complete information from reddit.

  > The number of cases in the US is wrong. We know it's wrong because if it was right, we wouldn't have cases stemming from unknown sources. We know they are from other countries that weren't able to get their quarantine under control. Iran and South Korea. Flights from SK were banned this Saturday morning. Flights from Iran were already banned, but now those coming from Canada and other countries that have been in Iran can no longer enter either. > This is the outcome of a bad quarantine. So you agree that case numbers matter and the US has dealt with it the best so far, because it's spread across the world much more prevalent than here. > You get better and more complete information from reddit. Your reaction makes a lot of sense now.

Unknown sources, as in none of the people that we suspected of being exposed could've come into contact with people who later tested positive. > > This is the outcome of a bad quarantine. > So you agree that case numbers matter and the US has dealt with it the best so far, because it's spread across the world much more prevalent than here. I'm really not sure why you think "bad quarantine = we're #1!", but no, there are many other countries that did a better job of the US, and now it's likely a good number of us will die from it. > > You get better and more complete information from reddit. > Your reaction makes a lot of sense now. Yes, I'm wholly willing to vet sources by the quality of the information they provide, and the CDC is putting out platitudes and vague happy-go-lucky information, while a number of informal channels are putting out the highest quality information available.
