One of the many challenges to trying to understand if COVID-19 has "peaked" in Virginia is the issue of testing. First, the # of tests results reported each day varies.

(1/7) Important prospective study of household transmission by CDC, suggesting children and adults are similarly likely to transmit #SARSCoV2. The household secondary attack rate was at least 35%, and 18%

As an epidemiologist, I spend most of my waking hours interviewing people who are #COVID19 positive, suspect cases, & close contacts. Here’s some info on the #symptomatology I’m seeing.(NB: We’re
