COVID-19 Testing: How are the data calculated?

@merpreb @tjdog I came from Hong Kong, population about 7 and a half millions. Confirmed death from Covid is 6. They went through SARS, so when covid hits, they knew what is necessary. The compliance rate for face mask is 97%, unfortunately, the other 3% who did not comply are mostly Caucasians. It's hard to believe that some people don't want to take this seriously. That's why we are not seeing a leveling. It's very frustrating. I think some cities are opening up too soon. My county is on the watch list, case number going up and up each day.

@mayofeb2020- It is extremely frustrating. I hate wearing masks but I would hate COVID-19 even more. It seems senseless to argue with people who won't beleive the danger in not wearing a mask. I wish that I had a magic phrase to say.

@mayofeb, Your post reminded me of our incredible visits to Hong Kong and China. Those were my first experiences at witnessing thousands of people wearing masks as they went about their day. It seemed so strange at the time but now it is only another reminder of how much we can learn from other countries and cultures...whether with medicine or masks or behavior. It saddens me greatly that what was so long ago feared with China's takeover is coming true now in Hong Kong. Did you grow up in Hong Kong or live there as an adult? Most exotic experiences of my life and such incredible memories! Thank you!
