This is something I have not seen discussed or explained anywhere:
Spain has such a hard lockdown and yet even after 5 weeks there are still thousands of cases every day. How are so many new people getting infected? The same has been true in Italy.
- recoil 7y agoI've wondered this too. I can only assume it's because they send infected patients home, and they spread it to their families. That and hospitals & nursing homes, where infected staff may be spreading it between the patients/residents?
- ssijak 7y agoHousehold infections. Infected person in its infancy of the infection gets locked down with the familly and they get infected too. So you must go through all of that for the numbers to slow down and fall.
- greedo 7y agoIt's extremely difficult to tell whether the number of cases are increasing, or if testing is revealing more cases. It sounds like a tautology, but unless you have a very strict, consistent testing rubric, the outcomes are hard to measure in terms of growth. At best you can determine total case count.
