“The first three days that were here, we had no luggage and had no change of clothes and weren’t able to do laundry,” he said. “We’re required to go out three to four times a day from our rooms to get fed and have our temperature taken.”

“We’re trying our best to disinfect things with the hand soap that we’ve been given, even though we don’t have disinfectant,” Wilson added. “We’re frustrated and worried.”

Many evacuees feel that the instructions from the CDC have been confusing and even contradictory, he continued. “They have told us to stand six feet away from each other, and then have us stand shoulder-to-shoulder when they take our temperature,” which Wilson claimed “flies in the face of the protections and precautions.”

I'm going to forward this to a buddy who worked with the CDC as a grad/doc student and watch her explode

the CDC has acted real languidly over this whole thing.

they are gonna get us all killed because their tests don’t work and even the tests that do work may not work all of the time.

Well it doesn't have a very high fatality rate but the rest of the point taken yes.

The rate has been at 2%. That's still high and demands containment, but it's not "kill everyone" high.

probably just a typo where someone accidentally hit an extra digit.

or maybe they have finally decided to bite the bullet and start trying to play “catch up” with the daily reporting numbers until they can get up to their real total count.

I mean given that the stock market has gone down like 1% in futures trading along with Chinese currency, there is a financial incentive to correct this ASAP if it was a fat finger mistake.
