People have been getting sick, and they aren’t being tested.
CDC tests so far: 459.
Not tested, in the wild: 7,600 self quarantining in CA.

"Apparently Singapore has a red light district"
That's the "Four Floors of Whores" on Orchard Road. I discovered this since the office I was working in at the time was right across the street. For the record I was not a patron. :)

24K - 60K are the numbers I hear people talking about all the time, that is, die from influenza in the US each year.
No sense arguing about this anymore - well see what the numbers are in 60 days ...

One TWO flu over the cuckoo's nest
Bring Out Your Dead
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.

Yawn. Sensationalism and melodrama. Someone wakes up with a hangover, and all over a sudden, he has a virus. Not just any virus, The Black Plague. More people die in hospitals from sepsis than gunshot wounds and yet ban guns is the screaming mantra.

One of the comments on the singapore ‘happy girl’ contacts was ‘2% chance of death from virus, 100% chance of death from wife’.

Is anyone able to read this? Sure wish we could highlight major points of an article when its blocked.Not much to the article.
A 65-year-old resident of Santa Clara County, Calif., who has no known history of travel to countries hit hard by the outbreak, has tested positive for coronavirus, people familiar with the case said Friday.
There is no known connection between the new patient and anyone else diagnosed with the disease, known as covid-19. On Wednesday, health authorities revealed the nations first case of community transmission, a woman in Solano County, about 90 miles away.
That means the virus appears to be spreading among at least two separate populations, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the information has not been released publicly.
It goes on to discuss new developments around the world.

I would think if its someone spreading the disease in the state you would have MUCH more than 1 person here and 1 person 100 miles away
Give it a week. No. Give it four days.

has no known connection to travel in countries most affected by the virus
That is the money quote, this person HAS traveled somewhere, just not somewhere affected tremendously with this virus..if she had not traveled anywhere they would say “This person has not traveled ANYWHERE..PERIOD, end of story”
To: JoSixChip
"So is this how it is going to go, start a new brush fire of panic with every single case as it pops up?" A new unconnected case is news. People are talking about it on FR. None of that is starting brush fires of panic.

This is what makes this thing hard to control. A person could go to the grocery store and pick it up from some random person who may or may not know they were infected.
To: Jim Noble
You sound like my hubby.
Well, he’s saying give it two weeks....til AHBL.
