Update:
Yesterday's 8 new cases, 3 were expats, 4 out of the 5 local cases were contacts of previous cases
Today again 8 new cases, 2 expats, 6 locals and the report says majority were contacts of previous cases
We have 30 testing stations all over the country, yesterday 1400 tests in total, today 1700 tests, very low numbers of tests simply because no one is sick to get tested, anyone who wants to get tested can get tested, the government did start testing people randomly in different parts of the country specially in the last few weeks when people started breaking the lock-down rules and started moving around, that's how they are finding those cases with no contact with a known previous case, but those cases are all asymptomatic who are being isolated (im talking about 1 positive out of 2-300 tests in different regions and not sure if false positive or not), our hospitals are empty (not just from covid patients, from all kind of patients since people are afraid to catch the virus from the hospital like the rest of the World), as for what if our government is lying or under-counting? impossible, most of the hospitals here are private hospitals, our red cross is part of the international red cross and they are issuing a daily report about the situation since early March, the last person who died, died in a private hospital last week, and the hospital statement said that he was in ICU and was 92 years old, for the past 12 weeks i've been following the situation in hospitals knowing that we are not testing enough and expecting a rise of people arriving to hospitals with symptoms, local TV stations are were stationed infront of those hospitals reporting daily about the situation and waiting for the same thing, didn't happen.
Long story short, we are under lock-down now till Sunday midnight, if the numbers remain like today, next Monday even if they put the army to impose lock-downs, people will just ignore the orders and go on with their lives
