I know the money was there during the Obama years, but the question is did it get spent preparing or on some Muslim outreach initiative.

Per our conversation earlier, I just saw this...

.Recovered patients may still be infectious

In a grim assessment, a key Chinese respiratory disease expert described the situation of the epidemic as a “see-saw battle”, despite the drop in daily recorded cases in recent days.

“We should not be relaxed. The figure may go up again,” said Zhao Jianping, head of an expert team working to contain the outbreak in Hubei.

Zhao told the magazine Southern People Weekly there were cases in China in which recovered patients continued to show traces of the virus through nucleic acid tests. There were similar results in Canada, where nose and throat swabs taken from a couple who had recovered from Covid-19 revealed they still had traces of the virus.

“We also have such cases. This is dangerous. Where do you put these patients? You can’t send them home because they might infect others, but you can’t put them in hospital as resources are stretched,” he said

Thank you for this!
It is scary! Again, if you find more info on the incidence of people being contagious beyond 14 days, please let me know!

“...6 of 6 new #COVID19 coronavirus cases in Italy are in “serious condition”...”

That would be %100 going critical. It may be mutating and becoming more virulent.

Patient zero: returned from China Jan 20-21, mild flu symptoms Feb 10. No symptoms after, even days he ran in a race (marathon?)

The ‘zero patient’ of the coronavirus outbreak in Lombardy has been identified. He is a 28 year old man who works in a Fiorenzuola d’Arda company and has returned from a trip to China. Initially it was negative for tests carried out at the Sacco hospital in Milan. But the Istituto Superiore di Sanità has confirmed that man has fallen ill, albeit in a lighter form. Normally the 28-year-old manager spends most of the year in China, with limited periods in Italy. He returned from China between January 20 and 21, but he has always been well (and still is healthy), except February 10, when he had mild flu symptoms. Immediately there had been doubts.

The ‘patient 1’ is, instead, a 38-year-old man from Codogno, also infected his wife, who is hospitalized in the Sacco hospital in Milan, and four other people residing in the same area, hospitalized with a clinical picture of pneumonia. About three hundred people under examination, including close colleagues, doctors and nurses from the Codogno hospital who helped him. In the last two weeks, the 38-year-old has had a very wide social activity: for example, he has participated in a running race and a soccer match. 150 ‘close contacts’ will be buffered, plus 160 Unilever employees, who have been asked not to leave the offices pending the test.

Issues with CDC coronavirus test pose challenges for expanded screening
BY ZACK BUDRYK - 02/20/20 07:33 PM EST

Expanded screening for the coronavirus has been postponed amid issues with a test developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Although the Trump administration had planned to expand screening to various state and local public health labs, only three of more than 100 such labs nationwide have verified the CDC’s test for use, Politico reported.

The CDC has also had to postpone its plans to screen samples collected during flu surveillance for the virus using public health labs in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. Former Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Scott Gottlieb told the publication further delays could leave public health officials ill-equipped to detect scattered cases as they accumulate.

cruise ship realities:

Briton who caught COVID-19 calls ship’s quarantine ‘a joke’

was taken off the ship, asymptomatic for 14 days, he’s at liberty but his wife is still on the DP awaiting test results for herself. Brits to be evacuated Friday nite? no positives can go on flight (would they like to borrow our quarantine trailer?)

”We estimated that about two thirds of COVID-19 cases exported from mainland China have remained undetected worldwide, potentially resulting in multiple chains of as yet undetected human-to-human transmission outside mainland China.”

Good grief....patient 1, in Codogno, has had extensive social contact???

Not good.

Where did patient 1 contract CV??

I don’t see any connection between him and the 28 yo patient z. Am I missing something?

Scary that so many cases are critical.

That is truly unsettling. I want more discussion, openly and steps they are taking NOW. Look what’s happening across the world. Gov. Know they need to prevent panic, but people are going to REALLY panic if they’re lied to.

In my state, Florida, they’re using an obscure sentence in a law related to HIPPA to keep all info from the public. In the SAME paragraph are 3 instances when keeping info from us is overridden by the public need to know. There are a lot of us furious with our state gov.

Just posted 2/21 - what the hay is the guy talking about at the end? - “there are over 60,000 confirmed cases nationwide involving the use of traditional Chinese medicine, accounting for 85%”

China reports nearly 900 new COVID-19 cases
