My boss just posted an image from MSNBC that shows USVI now leading the nation in new cases with a 700% jump. If this blows up on MSM I want you to have some background.
St. Croix has an oil refinery that was shut down some years ago for EPA violations. It is in the process of modernization. As a result we have a "man camp" where workers from off island live in congested quarters. Last week we had one from Houston come into the ER. She was positive but not sick enough for admission to hospital. She was discharged with instructions to quarantine.
Today we have 20 cases in the camp and the USVI govt has orders for employees not to leave the camp.
I predict MSM will spin this as a result to reopening and nothing will be further from the truth. This is not a result of opening of beaches, restaurants, or barber shops. This is a result of poor screening at airports and the practices of the refinery.

A lot of the cases in Missouri are workers being tested upon returning to work. A lot of them are asymptomatic.
I’m ok with our massive testing efforts as it’s giving us large chunks of data. We just have to be adults with what we do with the data. There’s no evidence that we’re able to handle the data.
