This is definitely happening all over the US. The reason the counts are so low is the CDC refuses to test anyone.

  Not just in the US. In most countries tests are extremely limited so they screen out massively.

    Yes, I think CH and FR do that, they ask to self quarantine if you have symptoms. Italy was actually testing everyone afaik.

      Japan does virtually no tests at all for example. On the other hand South Korea is a lot more into testing everyone.

  And it takes 3-5 days for CDC results to come back. My whole family is in isolation due to potential exposure while we wait to find out if the sick person has cov-19.

    Trump Inc gave up on CDC testing week and unleashed the more competent private sector. The first CDC portable test kit was defective making them [re]test at their central lab.

  That meme is false and needs to die. Look at testing here [0], from the CDC website [1]. The CDC is just a part of this, and public labs are testing thousands per day right now. Expect this chart to keep going up. [0] https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/images/lab-data-graph.png https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/images/lab-data-gr...
