Pretty bad when the gangs have to step in....to enforce the mandatory quarantines.

CDC says coronavirus survived in Princess Cruise ship cabins for up to 17 days after passengers left
How? What keeps it alive without a host?
SPAIN
Spanish soldiers find bodies in retirement homes
AFP / PIERRE-PHILIPPE MARCOU
The ice rink at the Palacio de Hielo, or Ice Palace, shopping centre in Madrid was made into a morgue to deal with a surge in deaths in the capital
Spanish soldiers deployed to help fight the new coronavirus outbreak have found elderly patients abandoned, and sometimes dead, at retirement homes, as an ice rink inside a Madrid shopping mall was turned into a temporary morgue to cope with a surge in cases.
The army has been charged with helping to disinfect retirement homes in Spain, one of the countries worst hit by the pandemic. Dozens of deaths from COVID-19 have been recorded at facilities across the country.
“We are going to be strict and inflexible when dealing with the way old people are treated in these residences,” Defence Minister Margarita Robles said in an interview with private television channel Telecinco.
“The army, during certain visits, found some old people completely abandoned, sometimes even dead in their beds,” she added.
An investigation has been launched, the general prosecutor announced.
The coronavirus death toll in Spain surged to 2,182 on Monday after 462 people died within 24 hours, according to health ministry figures.

Excellent post. 100%
Thanks for posting that article, of the personal report, from China.
From the article....
..They were allowed two hours, including the 45-minute walk each way.
This is what its looked like:
Those two hours are every two days. Before Sunday, it was strictly to the grocery or pharmacy to get essentials, no frivolous travels, no BS.
Security (either government or the local building complex) makes sure, taking your temperature in both directions, swiping an app on your phone that records risk level. Any sign of fever, and you are taken away to an Orwellian-sounding fever hospital (so as to not make anyone else sick). If they suspect its COVID-19, its then a gauntlet of other tests and isolation. Defy it and youre rounded up. ..

A guest on Tucker’s show, tonight, said that ‘we know where China is taking these people who have fever....straight to the incinerators’....or, something to that effect.
Yikes.
They gave positives and their close contacts ankle monitors.
Fine for breaking quarantine was $13K
Jane, you know that over 21 million Chinese have dropped off the cell phone services there.
Far more than 3,500 died. Far more.
LA stopped making the test available (to non celebrities).
Sometime this afternoon, Louisiana stopped more people from testing, having reached the limit of their capacity.
I think Mardi Gras caused a blossoming of CV and we are seeing its local effects three weeks later. Reports in other states also indicate people caught it at Mardi Gras and returned home with CV.
Yep.
Didn’t someone say there were (early) pics, when the incinerators were first detected, of piles of cell phones?
Killing fields, all over again :(
My in laws wont discuss this.
Mardi Gras was especially ‘fat’, this year
Spreading wise. :(
It’s just too horrific.
We saw the vids of people being pulled out of their cars, apartments, etc.....screaming/crying.
Torture!!
Are your in-laws having to deal with these quarantines/curfews/temp checks?
I don’t know if any doctors have ever died from seasonal flu contracted from a patient. I can’t find a mention from 2009, which even lists a feline death. This could be attributed to H1N1 having a low Ro.
But we do know they’re getting infected and dying from the Wuhan Virus in Iran (at least a dozen there), Italy and China, Pakistan, France, Nigeria and the Philippines, just for a look in the window
2 healthcare workers died in GA already. And last week, 9 doctors tested positive.
It truly was the best jelly!! So sad when the final jar was gone. LOL
FAKE NEWS
"SARS-CoV-2 RNA was identified on a variety of surfaces in cabins of both symptomatic and asymptomatic infected passengers up to 17 days after cabins were vacated on the Diamond Princess but before disinfection procedures had been conducted (Takuya Yamagishi, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, personal communication, 2020)."
“investors may therefore be severely overestimating the extent of Chinas recovery... “
Yep. It is working.
