They have herd immunity.

That's me. I know 130 workers at two stores and we have three confirmed cases and zero death. I keep asking the really scared people I work with why most of us haven't succumbed to this scourge and they have no answers. Either its not as communicable as we have been told or many of us have had it and not known. The last week of March/first week of April I was TIRED. My oldest was on spring break so I didn't have to get up at 7 and teach school before work, which was great because I couldn't scrape myself out of bed before 9:30. I remember thinking man, how was I getting up at 7 the last three weeks? After a pot of coffee, my mild headache would subside enough for me to slog off to the store. I was tired and my joints were stiff. I thought I was getting old. After a week it subsided and I was back to teaching three hours of school before going to work and stacking cans until 9 or 10pm. In hindsight I probably had the Vid and didn't know it. In my humble opinion all doctors, nurses, grocery workers and pharmacists should be given antibody tests. Set up tents around stores and hospitals and canvas the industries. Get a better feel for what long term exposure means and its effects on the exposed. If the numbers are positive they can just bury them or maybe report them and send us all back to work with the knowledge that this has been making the rounds for a long time and isn't that bad. Just my two cents, but I am a professional bagger of food sooooo, take it for what its worth.

My hope is for antibody testing to determine who maybe had the vid already. Not testing for who currently has the vid. I think getting some information on how wide spread the virus has already been is more important than tracking new cases. If it's as wide spread to the populace as I think it may be then it blows up models and projections. Thats my dream.
