As of 2 days ago we were testing the 3rd most people in relation to population size. Behind only Bahrain and South Korea.

Some reports say that there are shortages of tests, others that there is a shortage of pathology centres, but I've also read reports that there are plenty of kits available worldwide as well as reports that we need to be doing more testing as we have enough pathology facilities to process more tests right now. So I don't think we are getting to correct info on that right now.

The fact that we are testing at a rate similar to nations that had positive results controlling the virus, other than patient 31 in South Korea but that wasn't the doctors fault just some idiot that couldn't stop himself going to church, is a good thing. That's what I thought was happening. Closed borders, testing as many people as possible and then struct quarantine rules is the only way to stop the spread.

They do however need to get rid of the "come into contact" part of the criteria tho. It's spread too wide now to properly track in real time. If you have the symptoms, do the test. We should be testing 5000-10000 people a day if we want to get this thing sorted quick.

And if people break quarantine and infect others, we should do what Italy is doing with that idiot who went in for his rhinoplasty after being told he had the virus. They have sentenced him to jail for up to 9 years. But not what North Korea is doing...that went from 2 known cases to none after two loud bangs were heard!
