Simple answer: they had a doc to certify they were exposed to a known case.

I’d like to see everyone with that info attested to by a doc tested.
Of course we can’t test everyone with the sniffles.

“Trump’s speech last night was needed to wake people up.”

You were correct, if he did not it people would still believe it is Just a Flu Bro.

The markets were falling already from the broken supply chain. If he did not make that speech the market would have still gone down.

I never believe in the Its Just a Flu Bro group, I pull my money out of the market on Feb 6 as soon as I knew it was not a flu.

Sitting pretty waiting for the market to stabilize after the virus goes away.

Some folks here have suggested it is “suspicious” that all these state of emergencies and closures have been made in the last day and a half.

I think what happened was WHO declaring the virus a pandemic gave all the auto-pilot public figures the jolt that told them they needed to do something.

Preparation is fine. Avoiding a train is the right thing to do.

I am saying that is corona is a train then car deaths is an ICBM missile headed for a large metropolitan area.

I am suggesting the response is very disproportionate.

I appreciate that they are trying to head off corona. But even with vaccines and long known patterns we don’t head off the flu to the thousands of more numbers. It is straining at gnats and swallowing camels.

Or, it is avoiding a busy crosswalk while accepting riding your bike for miles on a busy freeway.

Well, when the president makes a prime time speech about a problem it makes people anxious- no matter how well he speaks.
It’s a sign: “very serious!”
Prime time speeches are rare.

All the billions congress has promised to the states may have something to do with it too.

“Plenty of money to be made,
providing the healthcare with the tools of the trade!”

“Fixing to Die Rag”.

Let’s put it another way.

The Flu, and heart attacks and strokes and accidents and surgeries gone wrong keep our ICU’s pretty near full all the time.

THIS virus is an extra add on.

And it looks like 2-5% of those who get it, roughly, need an ICU bed to recover (and not die).

So if 10,000 people in your locale get this that means 200-500 of them will need an ICU bed.

How many ICU beds, extra, do the hospitals in your area have at any one given time?

How many ventilators?

Does each ICU have a ventilator? Just wondering.

Manila is now on lockdown.

there is a travel ban, schools are shut,and mass gatherings are forbidden.

Philippine workers from overseas are going into quarantine.

if A “BARANGAY” i.e. neighborhood, has two cases, the entire neighborhood will be quarantined.

https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1241003/duterte-puts-metro-manila-under-community-quarantine

adds this information:

“All manufacturing, retail and service establishments are advised to remain in operation during the said period, provided that strict social distancing measures are required to be observed by their respective managements,” the resolution said.

In addition, mass public transport such as the Light Rail Transits, the Metro Rail Transit, and the Philippine National Railways shall continue in operation with guidelines to ensure social distancing in public transport.

we live in the provinces so should be okay for now, but most families have kids working in Manila who visit all the time, and our business does deliver rice to Manila once a week, so it's just a matter of time.
