Continuation of daily Thread
Amazing on daily threads how the same factoid can be posted tens if not hundreds of times. Although it is 80%, not 90 and ingredients, not finished product.
“Baby born to coronavirus patient tests positive for illness, Chinese state media says”
“80% of cases have been mild” sounds a lot better than one in five end up in ICU for a month on ventilators.
What we know about Diamond Princess cruise passengers with coronavirus flown back to US
Feb 17, 2020, Updated 4:08 EST:
Excerpt
The California flight had 177 people on it, seven of whom tested positive for coronavirus, Walters said. An additional three people were isolated during the flight for fever. Upon arrival, 171 stayed in Travis while six traveled to Omaha.
It’s unclear which passengers were transferred there and whether initial tests were positive or whether they were at risk for the virus.
The Texas flight had 151 people board and included the other seven who tested positive for coronavirus. Two additional passengers were isolated on account of fever. All passengers who tested positive for coronavirus then moved on to Omaha.

Oh great! That’s the hotel I usually stay at. Crap.
Oh well... no plans to go there anytime soon.
I’ve been wondering whether Crowne PLaza was nice?
I was going to post the same thing mysef as I read 80% and just components not finished medicine, so not sure how people are misreading it as 90% and finished retail products.
1 in 5 severe cases would overwhelm US hospitals.
Here’s another take on how this started- kind of intriguing.
It looked like a “trailer” inside the plane.
I am advocating, right now, for a policy of stepped down care when US numbers are >5000.
Did the Omaha patients go to the Creighton HLIU?
Whether components or finished product, it’s still bad. Lack of supply of a component, may mean no finished product, depending on whether other suppliers of that component have the production capacity to replace what comes from China.
Thanks for the update.
The Diamond Princess seems to have been little more than a petri dish.
I don’t think we had a choice but to get our people out.

Coronavirus: More than 200 Australians flown home after 14-day quarantine
Evacuees from Wuhan. No cases.
“I don’t think we had a choice but to get our people out.”
You are right, even we the passengers lock down in there rooms people were still being infected. Wonder if the virus was spreading via the air in the Air Conditions.

Just heard on the local cbsaustin evening news Lackland got “at least” 7 of the infected ship evacuees. That means they were divided fairly and equally between the two planes in order to spread the virus fairly and equally.
The 15th guy was flown on to Nebraska.
