Hi Biochem guy, perhaps you should study this further. Again, your data and report is more "political science" than science. A large fraction of Californians already have contracted the virus, without major difficulty. As we test more people, we find more cases. Why? Because the virus has been here since October 2019. You test more, you get more cases. This does not mean new cases. It means that you have located more cases, existing cases. This just shows the political nature of the reporting. Some bad people are trying to scare you and frighten you, to prevent you from opening up the economy. Do not be fooled by CNN and others who want the economy to go into recession. In Sweden they had no quarantine or any other special activities, and they are doing as well as those who quarantined. Wake up. Certain "political scientists" are masquerading as scientists. And to jbundy48, those who are vulnerable, such as old folks with pre-existing serious conditions, should quarantine from others. The danger has been over-blown by ruthless politicians. All you have to fear is fear itself. You are being manipulated by fear and uncertainty. Such fear makes you vulnerable to manipulation and authoritarian control.
