Testing has been a problem here. It was almost 2 weeks after the first death that workers at the care facility where it happened could be tested.

Schools here not expecting to start back until September. Not sure if they are being over cautious, time may tell I suppose. Positive test and death rate seems to have slowed. Just over 50 deaths in 1000 in the county where I live.
