Why are you surprised ? It's the government for crying out loud.
They don't put in overtime.

I thought they called back both from recess? What the heck. Hoping your wrong, but you usually aren't.

That's - bad.

If 100% of those tested are positive, it's a pretty clear indication someone is not casting the net wide enough.

Dear Leader:

January 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”
February 2: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”
February 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”
February 25: “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”
February 25: “I think that's a problem that’s going to go away… They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.”
February 26: “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”
February 26: “We're going very substantially down, not up.”
February 27: “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
February 28: “We're ordering a lot of supplies. We're ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn't be ordering unless it was something like this. But we're ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”
March 2: “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don't think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?”
March 2: “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.”
March 4: “If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.”
March 5: “I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work.”
March 5: “The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!”
March 6: “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.”
March 6: “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful…. the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that but pretty good.”
March 6: “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”
March 6: “I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault.”
March 8: “We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus.”
March 9: “This blindsided the world.”

WTF?
But only after rejecting the House's efforts to help Americans facing this pandemic and then offering absolutely nothing of their own. Mitch McConnell, hard at work protecting the president instead of the people, continues on unabated, crisis or no.

McConnel does nothing without Trump’s blessing.

Obviously, no intent for Congress to take action.

The other person has no record of travel or contact with anyone who has traveled. That person has since spread the virus to 7 others. So how many people have those 7 shared the virus with?

There is one other person who traveled to Italy and they are in isolation and nobody else is reported contaminated by them.

So all in all in south Carolina 12 tested, 12 positive.....2 from travel.
Where are you getting your info from ?
I'm checking SCDHEC and here's what they report:



https://scdhec.gov/health/infectious...sting-covid-19
Negative tests 75
Presumptive positives 6
Positive tests 6
Completed monitoring 64
Currently monitoring 10
