Are we too weak now to face this challenge .
Seeing the Koreans and Italians passengers still rolling into our airports and no one in Wash DC concerned makes me wonder.
.
“All potentially exposed individuals have been identified”.
How long before every hospital puts ER personnel in space suits?
They need to recheck to see if they did die from the flu...
It should have started after that first word of community spread
Are you in Sarasota?
“Numbers will grow quickly as screening gets in place and existing cases (numbering probably in low thousands) start being identified. “
Several thousand known infections ensures several million.
It is not possible to contact trace for several thousand.
Broken containment.
Bet you a lot of people will not be going to work tomorrow in Seattle.
Yeah, 40,000 of them went to watch to soccer game today though.
You couldn’t force me into a venue like that now!
It is CNN so take with a grain of salt
CDC hasn’t revealed information to doctors that would help coronavirus patients
https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/01/health/coronvirus-patient-research-cdc/index.html
Two weeks from now Seattle is having a Comicon - and they are going to still have it!!
Thanks for that information. 40 years old. So much for “only people over 80 need to worry about it.”
Carl HigbieVerified account @CarlHigbie · 3m3 minutes ago More CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19 update: As of today, March 1st 2020, more Americans have been married to Kim Kardashian than have died of Coronavirus.
A couple weeks ago there was talk of how they would test and track movements. Yesterday they said the CDC would be in Seattle shortly to help with that.
I’m guessing by the time they get here and set up, they’ll shrug their shoulders and say “Well, it’s pretty much everywhere. Good luck. We’re off to Des Moines, Iowa where they might have a case. We’ll have a better shot at stopping it there.”
“and they are going to still have it”
While they may be saying that now, it will not be what they say by the end of next week.
“They need to recheck to see if they did die from the flu...”
Good point. Probably too late to do much good now.
