I tried to engage him in an issue relevant to his niche here, no response.
Don’t waste your time.
Really?
I must have missed that.
Can you show me where that happened?
These health officials sound overwhelmed. The one in GA last night was so nervous, bless her heart.
They haven’t seen anything yet.
The next couple of weeks will give them stories to tell their grand-children.
Thanks, you’re right.

Three John Ehret High School teachers staying home after travel to coronavirus-plagued areas
BY FAIMON A. ROBERTS III | STAFF WRITER MAR 3, 2020 - 3:34 PM
Three John Ehret High School teachers have been asked to stay at home for two weeks after traveling to countries on the Centers for Diease Control’s list of at-risk countries for coronavirus, a Jefferson Parish schools spokesman said.
...
Two of the employees did report to work Monday at the Marrero school before being asked to stay at home. The third was still traveling. One of the three simply had a layover in a country that is on the CDC’s risk assessed list, the letter says.

I doubt this episode will be forgotten for a long time.
Please STOP! -THIS IS NOT A SERVICE you’re just making things worst-adding to the alarmist panic, like yelling FIRE in a crowded theater, very irresponsible- as most of what is posted under these live threads is unfounded. And you are helping elect Sanders president,
I never see you post anything like to offset the alarmist BS
Five Reasons You Don’t Need to Panic About the COVID-19 Coronavirus

Yeah, it’s bizarre. A local news anchor in Seattle contacted the state health hotline, and told them that she had symptoms after reporting at the nursing home.
Pence just said no more restrictions on who can be tested
I was wondering about those reporters ....I wonder how close she was to the home..or was she interviewing one of the workers?
A little more detail on what will happen when testing begins in earnest.
Patient A finally gets tested and they are positive. Then the health care professional ask questions and find out where they have been, who they have contacted etc.
Folks from their home, workplace are brought in for testing.
Some of them test positive.
Rinse and repeat in an exponential fashion until everyone in the test lab passes out from exhaustion or they run out of testing kits, whichever happens first.
Please also be on the lookout for Conserv here.
“Can you show me where that happened? “
I’m the person that asked either janetjanet998 or Vermont LT to start a daily thread. Whichever had the time and inclination.
Nobody realized at the time it would last over a month.
Here’s a pretty good article largely about the China experience:

Two New Cases of COVID-19 in Santa Clara County March 3rd, 2020
New Guidance from the County of Santa Clara’s Public Health Department
For Persons at Higher Risk from COVID-19
Two New Confirmed Cases in Santa Clara County
SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA—The County of Santa Clara’s Public Health Department is providing new guidance to the community to protect persons at higher-risk of serious illness due to COVID-19. The County is also announcing that there are now 11 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Santa Clara County. This adds two additional cases to the nine that were previously confirmed, both of which are still under investigation to determine the source of transmission. At this time, of the total confirmed cases in the county, only two have been determined to be community transmission; four are travel related; three are close contacts to known cases; and the two new cases remain under investigation.
“Due to our almost daily increase in cases, the Public Health Department is issuing new guidance today to protect the health of vulnerable individuals,” said the County’s Health Officer, Dr. Sara Cody. “We ask for the public’s help in sharing these new recommendations, staying calm, and following prior guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control.”
The County of Santa Clara is working closely with a team from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that is onsite with the Public Health Department.
“It is important to remember that, for about 80% of the population, this disease will be mild. While many persons in our community may get sick, the vast majority will recover. The added measures are being used to protect those in our community who are likely at greatest risk for having severe disease,” said Dr. George Han, Deputy Health Officer for the County of Santa Clara.
The County Public Health Department announced the following new guidance:
Guidance for individuals and organizations for protecting persons at higher-risk of serious illness:
The Santa Clara County Public Health Department is making the following recommendations for individuals who are at higher risk of becoming seriously ill if they contract COVID-19.
Who is at higher risk?
Information about risk factors for COVID-19 infection is evolving, but the best evidence currently available makes clear that risk of severe illness begins to increase at age 50 for those who contract COVID-19, and increases with age (i.e., an 80-year-old person is at greater risk than a 70-year-old person). The highest risk group are persons age 80 and over.
