For three days there were no reported cases of the Corona virus. Health officials said the curve was being flattened. However, I believe that to be a false narrative. All of a sudden, it is revealed that Dr. Sands allowed an illegal disembarking of two residents in order to receive medical supplies including swabs. After receiving these swabs, the number of persons confirmed to have the virus are increasing once again. Instead of saying that the curve is being flattened, they should have said we ran out of testing supplies and therefore there were no testing carried out for three days.
