that completes the trio of Princess ships. Maybe it’s a good thing there aren’t more sisters.

Healthcare providers may test any patient in whom they suspect #COVID19.
While testing is becoming more available, there are limitations in healthcare providers’ capacity to obtain samples and process lab results rapidly.
While there are no restrictions who can get tested, not everybody who feels ill needs to be tested, particularly with mild illness.
If you’re sick with fever, cough or shortness of breath and are in a high risk group, call your healthcare provider to discuss #COVID19 testing.

Brazil will make Italy look like Singapore. Impossible to make enough tests to catch up. And we still have India, Indonesia and Pakistan to fully test.
“The head of the Lombardy’s intensive care crisis unit says the health system is on the brink of collapse, intensive care being set up in hallways. By March 26 they predict ~18,000 #Covid19 cases in Lombardy, of which ~3,000 will need intensive care.”

We’ve ALWAYS wiped down our seats, belts, trays, seat pickets and air vent nozzles, with disinfect, on airplane flights ... for years!
Not that it does any good with an airborne virus.
:(
I think planes are as infectious as cruise ships.
I pray not....but.... 159 - 350 people in ONE can???
Great timing
Bike week and new case in Daytona Beach .
I thought alcohol was a solid preventative measure...
Testing—CDC should have required every state to communicate basic data every day. The states would have to require outside labs to feed the states their data to compile:
How many tests (people) complete today/total to date:
How many positives (people) today/total to date:
How many negatives (people) today/total to date:
How many (people) need more datas/unresolved today/total still unresolved
That should have been posted on a website daily—heck today probably could even be real time....
This is not hard stuff...
Are you in a city? Can you start storing things, that you will use, regardless, in your home??
The only Duane Reads I’ve ever been in were in NYC metro.
All I’ve ever done on flights is get drinks, smoke cigarettes and ogle the stewardesses.
Haven’t flown in a long time LOL!
Amen.
Unfortunately there are very ogle-worthy stewardesses these days.
I remember DFW about thirty years back used to look like a fashion show..
From The Peoples Daily (China propaganda)
“All #coronavirus patients in one of the makeshift hospitals in #Wuhan have been discharged or transferred by Saturday afternoon. The hospital will be fully disinfected and is expected to officially close on Sunday.”
BREAKING: Missouri reports first case of coronavirus
Comment from another site:
On Feb 21st this data was reported.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
1st death in Italy: a 77 year old man in Vò Euganeo (Padua). The man had been in the hospital for the past ten days due to other health problems. Schools and shops in the town to be closed in an attempt to prevent the virus from spreading, said Veneto governor Zaia.
2 new cases in Italy: the wife (eight-month pregnant) and friend of the previously confirmed case of a 38-year-old man near Milan, who is now in critical condition in intensive care. In early February, the man had dinner with a friend who had recently returned from China. He went to the emergency room on Feb.15 and again on Feb. 19. The friend is now undergoing tests. About 160 contacts of the man have been put under quarantine. Emergency procedures are being set in place in the firm where the man works.
Later that same day:
12 new cases in Italy. New cases include:
5 health workers and 3 patients in the Codogno Hospital.
the son of a bar owner who practiced sport with the man.
3 clients of the bar.
a couple, aged 78 and 67 years old, in critical condition in the Veneto region (the man has later died).
15 days later the region was quarantined and the hospitals are on the brink of collapse.
We gutted entire hospital wards to make room for the seriously ill. One of the best healthcare in the world, the Lombard one, is one step away from collapse.

As for staff coming and going day-by-day, we’re simply told they’re following infection control protocol. “We’ve learned that the virus is volatile, unpredictable.” Patients have gone from showing no symptoms to being rushed to the hospital in an hour #KOMONews
My last flight was 15 years ago for business. What horrible experience. And ATL airport mad me feel like I was in an abattoir!
Btw, I want the “its just the flu” crowd to read that post...and when you get it..IF you get it...be aware of that tweet.
It really has been a long time!
