Number nine....number nine....number nine.

[pangaea6]

Just had our first confirmed case in Wake county, NC. Was visiting the nursing home in Seattle that has all the cases

[Vermont Lt]

Number nine.....

An homage to the White Album....

[Vermont Lt]

Was it a family member of someone there? And now it’s in NC?

Nice.

And people complain that they don’t get enough leg room on the planes.

[DannyTN]

Which means they flew cross country. Are their direct flights from seattle to NC?

[Raebie]

So much for contact tracing. Idiots.

[pangaea6]

Didn’t say why they were at nursing home. Check out WTVD or WRAL website for local RDU info.

[Vermont Lt]

Where you been buddy?

I am only an “expert” on Call Center Staffing algorithms. The rest I am pretty good at.

There are plenty of experts talking today. I sit back and learn.

Hidden, open, condemned or encouraged.. leftist are self infecting and weaponizing.

[pangaea6]

I think there are direct flights but still. I told my daughter let just get this over with and quit prolonging this. I just don’t see USA being able to do what China and Singapore are able to do with regards to closing people off

[Biggirl]

Have you been posting all the corronavirus threads?

[humblegunner]

I sit back and learn.

What part of sitting back and learning is posting a thread about it?

Have you forgotten where you declared yourself an authority?

Shall I remind you?

[Mount Athos]

cruises must be really cheap, maybe i should go

[Vermont Lt]

I don’t know, but I doubt all of the first responders in Kirkland with flu like symptoms are not ALL leftists.

[humblegunner]

Have you been posting all the corronavirus threads?

Yes, many of them.

Except he spells it correctly, unlike yourself.

I have been trying to figure out how many tests are actually being done.

From a lengthy zero-hedge article with a virile case of TDS on display:

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/white-house-pledge-deliver-1-million-coronavirus-tests-friday-might-be-997500000-short

Private labs:

The Association of Public Health Laboratories, which represents state and local government laboratories around the country, has said that its labs would be able to conduct about 10,000 tests a day when all of its 100 members that can perform testing are running. Scott Becker, the executive director of the lab association, said Monday that labs can run about 100 tests per day. As of Monday, he said fewer than half of those labs were able to do so.



That shows a capacity of less than 5,000 tests a day.

337 additional C.D.C. test kits were made available for distribution on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to two people on the call and the person briefed on the discussion who were not authorized to discuss it publicly. Each of those tests would cover about 350 people, officials said.

So, the first of these kits was available no earlier than today.

My read--only a handful of tests were done today.

Expect a major ramp up each day this week to a maximum of several thousand tests per day.

Expect the reported case numbers to start exploding by Thursday imho.

[IndispensableDestiny]

Number nine....number nine....number nine.

Turn me on dead man . . . turn me on dead man . . . turn me on dead man.

Backwards.

I post the daily live thread. Not ALL of the coronavirus stuff. That would be nuts.
