    the importance of social distancing, even if you aren't "sick":

    "A study published Monday by the American Association for the Advancement of Science found that asymptomatic people or people whose symptoms were so mild they didn’t realize they were infected were a major driver of the disease from its epicenter in Wuhan, China, to the rest of the world.

    The study found that this group of roving people -- whose infections were never diagnosed -- were responsible for spreading the disease to 79 percent of the people who were diagnosed in China.

    The study concluded that this massive category of people will make containing COVID-19 “particularly challenging” and will require governments to radically increase testing and isolation of these people

    Thing is I don't think every American is going to follow the social distancing and the 10 & under rule. There are so many young, middle age people out there that think they are bulletproof.
    And it only takes a few.

    If you've looked at the mathematical curve-flattening models, you should understand that they account for the assumption of some not adhering to the social distancing guidelines.
