Only 1/2 of 1% of COVID-19 cases are severe?
Likely.
People are only getting tested if they are in really rough condition.
Otherwise, most people probably think they have the flu.

It's like people are saying 95% of all car accidents that involve an ambulance are serious.
Well duh. The minor ones don't require an ambulance, and so they don't get counted in that group.

Rand Paul's activities today included a work out in the Senate gym, a swim in the Senate pool and a Republican Luncheon. As many as 40 Republican Senators were in direct contact with him today.

I would hope government officials get preferential treatment. Seems like common sense.
:censored2: that! These are the same blowhards that are telling us not to get tested until we show symptoms. Government would probably run better without some of these clowns anyways.
First responders, medical professionals and law enforcement should be preferred.

Ok
But people want the federal government to coordinate this response, so they need to be alive.

If we were to all get tested before showing symptoms there wouldn't be enough coronavirus tests. For the entire duration of the outbreak. Which is why they're telling the public that.

That said, I think you know it wouldn't be wise for members of the United States Congress to get tested only when they're symptomatic. Because they're members of the United States Congress.

Do you need to be told why the virus spreading like wildfire in the United States Congress would be a bad thing?

This is why the press was constantly asking Trump and Pence if they had been tested.

They wanted to attack them as elites being tested when normal people couldn't, and blame them for the CDC's screw up.
