I guarantee TN is lying about or neglecting to report cases.

We have had days with either zero or 1 case, which is obviously bullshit.

Regardless, I will work from home until "compromised immunity" people can go back to the office since I have asthma and chronic bronchitis. That's phase two of our company's "go back to work" plan once they start to reopen.

Responses:

The COVID tracker site said they had 152 new cases today and over 7000 total (still likely too low). -- nm - pmb Apr 20, 15:20 5
- Yeah. I know there was no testing to be had here at all for at least a few weeks. - Dark Callisto Apr 20, 15:28 4
  - Is that at Smokies Stadium? - kelly Apr 20, 16:14 1
    - The zoo, Smokies Stadium, apparently a Kroger in Oak Ridge. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 20, 18:01
  - I follow someone near you who had to jump through hoops for more than a week to get tested. - i.b.! Apr 20, 15:42
  - Here there are apparently sick people arriving at 3 am for the drive thrus and sleeping in their cars. It's just absurd. -- nm - pmb Apr 20, 15:33
It looks like TN is testing ~4,000 per day. -- (link) - JaxSean Apr 20, 15:10 2
- Yeah...it’s bullshit. This place closes School every year for flu Because everyone gets sick. Yet in a pandemic, they report 0-1 cases a day? - Will Hunting Apr 20, 15:57 1
  - Are you talking about a local area? That data shows positive increases of 168, 308, 173, 327, 183, etc. per day over the last 5 days. - JaxSean Apr 20, 16:16
I'm guessing they aren't doing any testing. -- nm - pmb Apr 20, 14:48 1
- No, they're assuredly not. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 20, 14:51
Yeah, there’s no way we are that low. -- nm - kelly Apr 20, 14:35
The rumor I heard was H-E-B was going back to normal hours and stop giving the $2/hr extra pay next Monday. - Qale Apr 20, 14:29
