A child who arrived last week at March Air Reserve Base as part of a group of Americans fleeing the coronavirus in China has been hospitalized after developing a fever, while another traveler who arrived at LAX has been quarantined at the base, Riverside County officials said Tuesday.
The child, accompanied by a parent, was taken by ambulance to Riverside University Health System-Medical Center for testing and observation after developing a fever, according to a news release from county health officials.
The move was taken "out of an abundance of caution," the release stated.
Meanwhile, a traveler who arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on Monday has been placed under a federal quarantine and taken to the base, which is located in the Riverside area.
The individual had no symptoms of novel coronavirus, but "was moved to March out of an abundance of caution and because of their travel history," according to the news release.

“was moved to March out of an abundance of caution and because of their travel history”
I am encouraged by this. Maybe we’ll avoid all dying after all ...
Also, in before the “If a quarantine can save a life post”
A child, who is “American”, occupied by a parent, not identified. Wonder if this is a case of birth tourism paying off for a Chinese national?
Does anyone know if they are kept away from each other at the base..or does everyone risk getting it from that kid?
“Also, in before the “If a quarantine can save a life post””
Yep, that one’s getting stale.
I saw cots set up. I think they’re all still wearing masks - they were when they came off the plane
Has anyone heard of a non-Asian getting this?
Car maker guys in Germany
I’ve looked for info on their status but can’t find any.
This will probably be a good one to help see how contagious it is in the US.
I don’t think just wearing those little surgical masks is really enough.
Yes, hot toddy man in Wuhan is a Brit from Wales. He got it two months ago.

Maybe we’ll avoid all dying after all ...
Well, at least not from this.
But we all got it coming.
I wonder how well these folks are being separated from non-quarantined people, or even other (uninfected) quarantined people. I hope the ambulance crew and hospital staff are prepared. You would think they would have prepared a facility on the base.
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
OK, I’ll drop the quarantine reference, open borders for all!!!
It’s a Ping list
I’d be surprised if anyone who regularly reads this forum is in favor of open borders.
Maybe just say, “We’re a nation of viruses, after all.”
