Confirmation of ‘presumed’ yet ????

Would not be surprising considering the PA eastern border is surrounded by states confirmed with cases as well as the NY/PA northern border. The eastern border is always busy with cross border traffic via Phili and NY City.

It’d be funny if no one showed up. Like that’d ever happen.

Thought there was well over 100 people there initially ? In the Kirkland Center.

Stopping flights at this point is like closing the barn door after the horses have already bolted.

The Cuomo family is of Italian ancestry, so it could be they are talking to friends and family back in Italy—that could explain why Andrew _gets_ it.

yep..they said like 109 and 100 workers..

I guess if you subtract the dead and those already taken to that hospital before yesterday it may be around that number

It is not about stopping spread, it is about slowing it down. If it is not slowed, our hospitals will be overwhelmed quickly.

And not just international flights, they need to ground flights to parts of the US now.

$10/100 before and now about $17/100.


Depends on which brand and the thickness of the brand. Order 10 boxes, perhaps of different sizes, if you have other family members with smaller or larger hands.

You’d be surprised how fast you can fo through them - Take the time to learn how to remove to avoid contamination.

He’s more honest than many of them. If CDC and WHO would be honest, no matter how bad the news is, people would be more understanding and not panic themselves into the worst possible what if.

I think it’s been floating around the country for at least a month now, with all of the airline traffic that’s been coming in here.

Just because they finally started testing, doesn’t mean there haven’t been cases for awhile now. So it’s difficult to ascertain the true rate of growth of this.

ArfDog123ABC : " I think a lot of folks don’t actually understand what they will need.
I don’t believe the majority of water/tp purchasers have a few weeks of food at home."

I believe you are correct; few people are prepared for living more than couple of weeks out of their pantry.
Here is a suggestion sent to me by another FReeper :

There’s the answer to why the US is short of masks, hand sanitizer and meds.

Correct. I dare any public official of either party to stand up and say that!

The longer we can keep stay open, the better for our students and the entire community.

Sorry to be cruel to this public official, but you just can't fix stupid.
