Because we're not testing people.
Can't confirm cases if you ignore them.
Can you please stop with the hysteria
We've tested 44 fecking thousand as of today, it was 40k the other day, we're testing people and the small amount of cases found out of another 4k tested is good news, as is one death. France had tested 6k by March 5 and we'd done about 25k. Spain announced yesterday they have tested 30k with 300 dead and 8000+ cases.
What the hell do you think is going on in other countries with even lower numbers of tests? Most are told to stay home with mild symptoms.
Still even with that, UK has done a further 4k of tests presumably with worse symptoms and not detected much more. No country is able to test millions yet and test labs need to get results to doctors, nurses and patients.
Seems to be the plan in both the UK and the US. Tell people nothing, do as little testing as possible and then I'm guessing...cover it all up after the smoke has cleared. Either that or we're both being led by idiots incapable of making a coherent plan. Perhaps a little from Column A and a little from Column B?
What utter nonsense
And anyone please stop with the stupid US UK Trump Boris bollocks not testing enough, UK is testing more than most. US is the one short of tests per head and I don't really care. Stop trying to group UK and US together like this.
