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.

This seems .more and more like a-man made virus .
Yes, I agree with you completely. But those of us who are paying attention can modify our behavior to negate this being transmitted via aerosol. Everyone’s mileage may vary..

Age, Sex, Existing Conditions of COVID-19 Cases and Deaths
Last updated: February 29, 4:40 GMT
There are two sources that provide age, sex, and comorbidity statistics:
The Report of the WHO-China Joint Mission published on Feb. 28 by WHO, [2] which is based on 55,924 laboratory confirmed cases. The report notes that “The Joint Mission acknowledges the known challenges and biases of reporting crude CFR early in an epidemic” (see also our discussion on: How to calculate the mortality rate during an outbreak)
A paper by the Chinese CCDC released on Feb. 17, which is based on 72,314 confirmed, suspected, and asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 in China as of Feb. 11, and was published in the Chinese Journal of Epidemiology [1]
We will list data from both, labeling them as “confirmed cases” and “all cases” respectively in the tables.
Age of Coronavirus Deaths
COVID-19 Fatality Rate by AGE:
*Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on the age group. The percentages shown below do not have to add up to 100%, as they do NOT represent share of deaths by age group. Rather, it represents, for a person in a given age group, the risk of dying if infected with COVID-19.

no fatalities
*Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). The percentages do not have to add up to 100%, as they do NOT represent share of deaths by age group.
In general, relatively few cases are seen among children.
Sex ratio
COVID-19 Fatality Rate by SEX:
*Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on sex. When reading these numbers, it must be taken into account that smoking in China is much more prevalent among males. Smoking increases the risks of respiratory complications.
SEX

*Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). The percentages do not have to add up to 100%, as they do NOT represent share of deaths by sex.
Pre-existing medical conditions (comorbidities)
Patients who reported no pre-existing (”comorbid”) medical conditions had a case fatality rate of 0.9%. Pre-existing illnesses that put patients at higher risk of dying from a COVID-19 infection are:
COVID-19 Fatality Rate by COMORBIDITY:
*Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on pre-existing condition. The percentage shown below does NOT represent in any way the share of deaths by pre-existing condition. Rather, it represents, for a patient with a given pre-existing condition, the risk of dying if infected by COVID-19.

No, thank you. No reason this shouldn’t be something the country and world can get through without catastrophe. The worst scenarios are enabled by idiocy, just look at what’s happening in Iran and South Korea with that fringe church.
Ignorance is dangerous, but stupidity is a disaster.
I can think of three.
Two in the O.T. and ONE in the New.
OREGON
HUNDREDS COULD HAVE IT: Oregon may now have 300 to 500 Oregonians who are or were unknowingly carrying the coronavirus, Dr. Dean Sidelinger, the state health officer and epidemiologist said. The advance of coronavirus to a remote town more than 200 miles from Portland means the virus “is fairly widespread in our community
Thank you. I never thought of Him that way!
“If healthcare workers don’t even get the seriousness of needing to self-quarantine, what hope do we have for the rest of the country????????”
That’s why we who have conscientiously prepared and are ready and able to hunker down need to decide when to quarantine ourselves, to stay away from the walking infected.
So, if they could test 100 folks a day (possible), the Oregon numbers could not be confirmed for another week.
who had traveled to a community where the virus has spread.
where ? Kirkland?
no its more like “I’m getting paid to stay home so why don’t I just have some fun”......me,me,me.....
Me.
But I love garlic. I mean I love it so much bugs avoid me.
It's worth it just to see HG squirm.
lower numbers
NEW: South Korea reports 142 new cases of coronavirus and 1 new death, taking country’s total to 5,328 cases
when you have visitors in the hospital stealing gobs of face masks from isolation carts its pretty sad.....
we need to be concerned and we need to be vigilant....we don't need to be pigs....

1Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the One seated on the throne. It had writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals. 2And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?”
3But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look inside it. 4And I began to weep bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it.
5Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

“aerosol transmission”
That’s the best kept secret in the world right now.
From the CDC, the press briefings don’t seem to quite jibe with this info:
Person-to-person spread
The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.
Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.
Spread from contact with infected surfaces or objects
It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
Can someone spread the virus without being sick?
People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (the sickest).
Some spread might be possible before people show symptoms; there have been reports of this occurring with this new coronavirus, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
How easily does the virus spread?
How easily a virus spreads from person-to-person can vary. Some viruses are highly contagious (spread easily), like measles, while other viruses do not spread as easily. Another factor is whether the spread is sustained.
The virus that causes COVID-19 seems to be spreading easily and sustainably in the community (“community spread”) in some affected geographic areas. Community spread means people have been infected with the virus in an area, including some who are not sure how or where they became infected.
