      Good job about what? The people that tested positive received NO medical attention, NO medication, just remained indoors until they test negative. Good job? Give me a break! Meanwhile people continue to be diagnosed with Cancer and other diseases at an alarming rate and we do not have a tracker/counter for those.

        You are showing signs of Covidiocy. There is no pint treating somebody with Covid that is not showing symptoms or only has a mild case. What are you suggesting, that people with a positive test and no symptoms should be subject to
        medical treatment that they don’t need.
        Climb back under you bed and stay safely there until you think it is safe to come out. We don’t want you infecting others with your covidiocy.

      With the nonexistent enforcement of protocols, Govt should be focused on not having a spread ...one bash/party after the next and no masks....signs saying no mask no entry but masks nowhere to be seen once at an event.

    CNN need to take a page from VINO. CNN don’t report recoveries, just new cases and deaths.
    Thanks for keeping us informed and safe.
