I also have personal experience through the spouse - based on the hospital I named, that when among the sickest (my wife commented on the germ fest) in the OC and testing them all day Sunday (and Monday and Tuesday) they did not find one carrier.
I'm not calling it a hoax, and I have not read that it is but the personal data above and the 116 deaths in the USA and no real increase of deaths in CA (no rate change up) over 18 days does not give me enough data to support that there is a real issue here.
I like what I heard the UK did. They sequestered those that were most susceptible. Certainly some folks should not go out and should stay far from anyone. But the general healthy population is barely being hit by this. I think they should be left to live life normally.
