NEW YORK - 2 new cases
Two more people in New York City have tested positive for coronavirus and are hospitalized in an intensive care unit, bringing the state’s total to 13 cases, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Thursday morning.
Neither case — a man in his 40s and a woman in her 80s — has a known connection to travel or any previously diagnosed local COVID-19 patients, marking what appears to be fresh community spread in New York City, de Blasio said. City disease detectives are tracing close contacts of both new patients and will ensure they are appropriately isolated and tested.

Long article, worth a read of what to avoid in containment efforts. What a mess...

I am expecting serious conditions in highly concentrated urban areas with lots of high rise apartments and businesses.
I would not be surprised if those areas were quarantined before all is said and done.
Looks like they (4chan) saw the China twitter posting then started reacting to it on Jan 23.
I would not trust everything on that board. Info was leaking out of China well before the 23rd.

UPDATE | March 5, 2020: A 70-year-old man from Fort Bend County is confirmed to be the first “presumptive positive” case of COVID-19 identified in the Houston area. This marks the first instance of the novel coronavirus in Texas that is not related to passengers under federal quarantine from Wuhan City, China or the Diamond Princess cruise ship.

This may be a bit hard to swallow, but at this point US citizens are probably infecting more people outside the US than people outside the US are infecting US citizens.
We have become part of the problem instead of part of the solution.
_That_ needs to change.

The give away is Mr. Top Secret refers it to as a strain of flu. It is strain of the coronavirus.
His use of English language hints he is not a native English speaker. “I am a figure in the UK’s Department of Disease Control”
UK’s Department of Disease Control DDC. UK version is the Public Health England or Health Protection Scotland.
Can spread skin-to-skin contact: no proof of that
Here in the epicenter of Washington state, Seattle is buying an old Econolodge on Center Avenue in Kent. Kent residents and city council members are protesting that it will be in their community. They claim unfair as their community is more divers than other areas. Of course, the diversity makes the area more of a hub for possible outbreaks. There are many Asians and recent immigrants to the south of Seattle who are more likely to have contact with people flying to various places.
The City of Seattle says that it was chosen because each room has its own HVAC and the rooms open to the outside, not to an interior corridor.
Kent is also close to the Seattle Tacoma Airport where if someone tested positive they would not have to be moved many miles into the City of Seattle.
Kent says it sets up a scenario like the assisted living center in Kirkland which has accounted for nine or ten of Washington states deaths. But this motel would not have all residents breathing the same air as they did in the assisted living facility.
what are you talking about ?? The neuroinvasive part?? I posted links. If you are talking about MR top secret..the link is from FR from a previous thread.

Test kits have not yet arrived in a hot-spot—that is total clusterf*&k, completely inexcusable.
The CDC should be giving priority to hot-spot areas—so obvious even a brain-dead bureaucrat could understand it.
Maybe adding ‘caucus” would help. I haven’t seen one of them pulled yet.
