Come on, Trump. Ban all cruises. Stupid, stupid people on these floating petri dishes. Annnnd, we’ll get to bring them all back exposing our health care people to more CV and draining our supplies. Idiots all. Give them all t-shirts “I <3 CV” on the front and “I <3 sharing” on the back.

To think we raised those little cretins. The boomer age will have dropped to 50 by the time they get there. Hope they remember their hate.

So many homes have single parents these days. That parent would need to take off work because no one else will. People also have a habit living paycheck to paycheck so how will bills be paid? Where will they leave the child when they need to make a milk run or will they cart the child into the store? Even the parent alone could be infecting the store all because they failed to prep.

Egypt cruise ship quarantined after 45+ passengers — 12 back in Houston — contract coronavirus

“Since Wednesday, a dozen Houston-area residents have tested positive for the new coronavirus after traveling on a ship later quarantined in Egypt — and now there are reports that fellow tourists from other states also contracted COVID-19 in Egypt.

Infected residents from Maryland, Florida and California have been linked to travel in Egypt or to the cruise on the MS A’Sara, which took passengers along the Nile River from Aswan, Egypt. The Houston-area passengers traveled on two different cruises on the same vessel.”

What I don’t understand is why we aren’t seeing more video coming out of Italy like we did in the early days of the outbreak in China. Italy does not have a locked down, censored internet like they do. Why aren’t we seeing more alarms being sounded by HCWs and the public? I’m seeing nothing on social media about how dire things are over there. It’s weird.

“MARCH 10 6:35 a.m. — Five people have tested positive for the new coronavirus in Virginia, state health officials said. The latest cases include the wife of a Fairfax man in his 80s who tested positive after returning from a cruise on the Nile River, the Virginia Department of Health said in a news release late Monday.”

“Pearl Jam says it is postponing the North American leg of its Gigaton world tour”

“Houston Independent School District said several individuals have been placed on a 14-day self-quarantine. The district did not specify if these individuals are teachers, administrators or students, but said the individuals either recently returned from a country on the CDC travel warning list or they are closely related to someone who did.”

“Because cancer patients are uniquely vulnerable to coronavirus, MD Anderson Cancer Center is screening patients and visitors and limiting visitation.”

I’m wondering when suspected cases start popping up, from the Houston Rodeo.

I posted the Tucker segment (youtube) upthread, somewhere. Worth the watch.

There’s also a thread posted, about Tucker’s show, that the flubros are already poo-pooing. Tucker’s now a pariah, for simply speaking the truth.

That’s a great idea...only...what about folks who are asymptomatic? Maybe screening also includes travel history/contacts.

“International Travel: Texas A&M is canceling university-sponsored travel outside of the United States between March 16, 2020 – May 1, 2020.”

Wait, so they can come and go as they wish for another week and a half??

CDC, as always, is fashionably late to the party.

Wow...I guess TAMU doesn’t want to interfere with spring break trips?

I saw where one University was calling for all traveling students to return. I can’t remember which school.

Because she doesn’t know how long. At least the CDC is finally admitting there’s a problem.

China has been dealing with this for 3 months and there’s no end in sight. IMO, which doesn’t mean squat, double their 3 months to 6 months prep at least. Scary, huh.

She (Rod’s sis) was the one on the media presser, a few weeks ago, saying the same...for folks to prep for a couple of months isolation....that this would be bad and potentially huge effect, nationally.

Then, we didn’t hear any more from her, or about the preparing, until now.

What changed?

If she lied then, and is lying now....shouldn’t she be let go? If she was telling the truth then, why did she quiet down, until now?

A 6 day shut down of Mongolia’s cities is a start. Failure to extend the shut down long term will mean CV dance down Main St. on day 7.
