There continues to be more evidence that Irvine CA and a good part of Orange County had a serious outbreak of covid19 in Dec/Jan and no one noticed! It was passed off as flu. We now have the ability to do testing to see if someone has had covid19 and from there extrapolate the true numbers who have been infected and the real mortality rate. Attempts to do so have been blocked with the reasoning usually they don’t want to expend the resources. The information could however be critical to how and when we reopen the country.

As of today Orange County CA which should have one of the worst outbreaks based on population and travel demographics has 17 deaths and 99 people hospitalized with a population of 13 million people.
