We don’t know that it hasn’t. It can be several weeks to show positive even if you have it.

For example, one young doctor in China tested negative over 3 times. He only tested positive shortly (days) before his death.

Seoul has 74 cases now. We’ll see.

on the US side, there’s not an entry for Nebraska, so the 12 Calif may be those shipped there. (although I think NB has 13?)

We are so screwed.

OH Boy
BREAKING: A person in Oregon is sick with the first presumptive case of the new coronavirus in the state, Oregon health officials said Friday.

What is interesting here is the photo of chart showing 218 suspected cases, 9 pos, 166 neg and 18 pending...

Just like this strategically dropped news story today (after the closing bell), they know about these cases already and only release info on them at the worst time to hurt PDT’s economy.

I fear that we will have a weekend of stories about new infections so that next week the stock market will have even bigger losses than this week.

well, golly, China told us up to 15 min was ok. But could it be she touched the elevator buttons?

[SE Mom]

I know- you’re right. The insurance companies ...fighting with docs...it’s a mess coming.

AOC. Psychotic rabble-rouser. I can see the way she’ll gin this up. She and just a few like her can incite panic and violence. Ughh.

Seoul Korea is getting hammered .
Did you see the lines for masks ?

[blueplum]

was this a case of Japan said, ok 14 days is up, everybody else has been evacuated, so you can go now? Or was this one of the people they pulled off into a hostel and said, go forth and sightsee until you test positive?

If this CDC bungling IS actually a concerted attempt to bring down Trump, then may the people responsible be swinging from ropes when all this is over.

I don't think we're going to avoid the virus...but I think the President and the administration are starting to put things into perspective to soften the blow. They're talking about all the flu deaths all the time. I think they're doing this so that when we get up to 40,000 deaths they can say "The flu kills more than that". When it gets up to 140,000 they'll say "Strokes kill more"(146,000). When it gets up to 600,000 they'll say "heart disease kills more" (647,000). When it surpasses that people will be used to it.

Valid point.

Still, much of the old debt is ‘rolled over’, and some interest on it is paid with new debt. So there are a lot of good things here.

Of course there’s always another side though. One person’s gain is often another’s loss.

I should say "if" and not "when" on those speculations.

day before yesterday Tedros said that the tests cost the WHO $5/ea. Most insurance have deductibles, so that would be out of pocket probably? But that assumes the test will cost the same in the US. It’s been said that the Chinese folks were being charged for their tests, too, which could be why the poor in Wuhan weren’t showing up to the hospital until they were on their deathbeds?
