    With over 200,000 cases, it would seem America is under-reacting. Big time.

    In large part, those numbers are increasing because the number of test kits in the field is increasing.

    This has been around since last December, unreported and untested, with most people surviving and becoming naturally immunized.

    200,000 doesn't seem that bad to me as far as viruses go.
