This is the kind of behavior Leftist progressivism encourages.  Think back to Mad Maxine Waters telling her followers to verbally attack any Trump administration employee or supporter and drive them out of stores and restaurants.

Our "social fabric" was torn long before any lockdown.

The US is now performing 100K CV tests per day, thanks to a new 5 minute test we developed.  It took 5 hours +/- before.

The US has exceeded 1,000,000 completed tests.

Both of those numbers exceeds any and all other nations, including China -- even though they started much sooner.

We stopped the distribution of (faulty) masks from China in the US.  That action alone may have prevent thousands of new cases, particularly among healthcare workers and first responders.

So, if you read/hear that the US has identified more CV cases than any other country, it might be because we are screening more people in less time than any other country.  This should help reduce the rate of transmission significantly as new cases are isolated before they spread it to more people.

Person Under Investigation (PUI):

Quote
1.  Select “PUI, testing pending” if a PUI has been identified but the initial laboratory testing
has not yet been completed.

2.  Select “PUI, tested negative” if a PUI was previously identified, but the laboratory testing
for the virus that causes COVID-19 was negative.

3.  Select “laboratory-confirmed case” if a person has at least one respiratory specimen that
tested positive for the virus that causes COVID-19 by a CDC laboratory, state or local public
health laboratory, or commercial laboratory using FDA-validated COVID 19 NAA.

(Note: effective 3/14/2020 there is no longer the designation of “presumptive positive”).

Some show symptoms and may have been exposed, but they test negative.  They might/will be quarantined for 2 weeks to make sure.

Even though those could count as negatives in the testing lists, they are actually "pending". 

I'm not 100% sure on that, but it's what I've gathered from news discussions.

The Zaandam originally departed from Buenos Aires on March 7 — a day before the U.S. State Department advised to avoid cruise travel and before any substantial restrictions were in place in Florida. DeSantis declared a state of emergency in the state two days later.

Passenger Emily Spindler Brazell, of Tappahannock, Virginia, said they’ve been treated to extravagant meals, wine and unlimited phone calls, but have had to isolate in their rooms.
At least two of the four deaths on the Zaandam were caused by the coronavirus, according to Panamanian authorities. Carnival said nine others have tested positive. And while many more reported feeling ill, most of the passengers and crew on both ships appear to be in good health.

“Florida continues to receive flights from New York, and it allowed spring break gatherings to go on as planned. Why turn their backs on us?” Gabaroni said.

MIAMI >> Passengers from an ill-fated South American cruise are anxious to disembark once they reach Florida, but Gov. Ron DeSantis said the state’s health care resources are already stretched too thin to take on another ship’s coronavirus caseload. The U.S. Coast Guard said today that the decision would be punted to Washington if authorities can’t agree.

The ships became pariahs as country after country sealed borders in response to the pandemic. Passengers said they were asked to keep their rooms dark and leave their drapes closed as they passed through the Panama Canal.

[Curious why "keep their rooms dark and leave their drapes closed as they passed through the Panama Canal"?]

Off the top of my head, I would guess it's purely for appearances -- an attempt to make the ship look somber and serious, less like a cruise ship full of "wealthy" people just out for a good time.

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo diagnosed with coronavirus;
he will continue working from home

Quote
New York (CNN Business)  CNN anchor Chris Cuomo said Tuesday that he has been diagnosed
with Covid-19.

He is feeling well, and will continue to anchor his 9 p.m. program "Cuomo Prime Time" from his
home.

"In these difficult times that seem to get more difficult and complicated by the day, I just found out
that I am positive for coronavirus," Cuomo wrote in a message on Twitter.

"I have been exposed to people in recent days who have subsequently tested positive and I had
fevers, chills and shortness of breath," he wrote. "I just hope I didn't give it to the kids and Cristina.
That would make me feel worse than this illness!"
