Don't even need to do this if you can bottleneck the tests/testing.

There will be studies looking for the anitbodies in representative samples we already have. It will just take time for that to happen, but even if you did zero testing it's unlikely you could hide a disease like this unless you stop taking blood donantions and samples and dismantle your flu surveillance network and so on.

While much of the country is just starting to see clusters of cases emerge, the hospital east of Seattle offers a window into the challenges set to cascade through the nation’s health care system, testing the resilience of workers, the readiness of institutions and the flexibility of supply chains.

The past few weeks have seen medical workers operating at the very edges of their capabilities, facing a virus so virulent that some patients were dying within hours of coming down with their first symptoms.

Caregivers who had been sent home into quarantine had to be called back to work to face the overwhelming task at hand. Engineers spent late nights scrambling to overhaul rooms so that contaminated air could not escape. Sanitation and janitorial crews struggled to swab down rooms where even a trace of the virus could infect the next patient. Supplies were so strained that nurses turned to menstrual pads to buttress the padding in their helmets.

But through it all, they have kept coming to work, even after some expressed worries about risks to their own health, and what they might bring home to their families. A new-employee orientation on Monday was packed.

Trump is such a giant pussy coward that I'm honestly very interested about what he's gonna say tonight.

No way he's shutting poo poo down, unless someone told him that if he declares a national emergency he can cancel all elections.

the stories coming out of Lombardy are like, they ran out of respirators so long ago that they are having to do wartime triage to figure out who gets to use any available one, doing calculations based on age and medical history to see who is likely to have the most future years of life. so even if you might get through it just fine with normal medical care, they might have to give it to someone else because you have a chronic illness or immunity compromise that the others don't have. this in turn is pretty much mentally destroying the healthcare workers who now have to spend all day telling people "welp, guess you're gonna have to lie down here and die"
