*8,465 people have tested positive, 43 more than yesterday

WORLDWIDE NUMBERS: See them – nation by nation – here.

CORONAVIRUS-FREE: No COVID-19 at West Seattle’s city-authorized tiny-house encampment, its Community Advisory Committee was told today.

STUDENT TOWN HALL RESCHEDULED: What will school look like this fall, in the wake of the coronavirus closure? The Seattle Public Schools town hall for students to join in the discussion, originally set for today, has been rescheduled to Wednesday (June 10th). Students of any age who are interested in participating can register here.

      This is today’s update, revisited and screencapped a couple minutes ago:

    Looks like all good news except the rate of tests turning up positive. 8%… that’s rising. But something doesn’t make sense. If 8% of the tests are positive and there are only 43 new positive cases, then we are only doing 600 tests per day? I thought we had the capacity to do 10s of thousands daily. I also thought we were in the processes of testing care facilities. These numbers do not add up.

      If you look at the screen grab – or just follow the link – the county now adds the # of test results reported each day. 1,153 in this case.

    8% positive:  Clearly we are not testing enough. Please repeat the mayors request for all protesters to get tested. Then tested again if symptoms develop. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
