I guess this doesn't apply anymore

We have the first confirmed case in my home county of Orange Texas. That means it's been here at least a week and maybe two.

That means it was already here when everyone was flooding the markets for TP and weren't practicing social distancing.

Just a play on another post. When dealing with a shortage of test kits, you're always dealing with uncertainty. The kits are used on a skewed sample of the most affected. Those transmitting the disease without being aware that they have it are probably the rule, but we can't be certain.
