Communion gives in states should all wear N95 masks and nitril gloves. All food preparers too.

HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - The botched coronavirus test kits that were sent to Hawaii now have to be re-manufactured.

U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz says he’s been told by CDC that the new test kits won’t be ready until mid-March.

“The fact that it’s going to take a month for them to re-manufacture totally unacceptable,” he said.
...
The state said the CDC initially sent Hawaii’s kits to the wrong state. When they arrived, they was damaged. Another shipment didn’t work.

They are all electronic in my area. They go to a testing area and go into a booth. There is a practical test they take in a second section.

Spray down the computer screen between tests and you are all set.

I always thought handing out the hosts to everyone would get someone in trouble.

Yeah. Sure. The kits are defective. We dont have an out of control coronavirus problem in Hawaii. No sir. Not a smidgeon of the disease until Hawaii receives tests that work and show no disease. /sarc. And, what a coincidence, it will be 3 weeks until these kits arrive.

IDK.
Cmmunion is older than transmission of corona viruses.
Maybe there is a deeperu nderstanding.

Outrageous. No excuse for these faulty test kits, in HI.

Hawaii has a LOT of Japanese and Asian visitors.

Iran has the virus. Expect the virus jihad. This is an ideal bioweapon for them to use against the West.

Note that there was already one new case in British Colombia that was a person from Iran.

Coronavirus-infected Americans flown back to US on plane full of healthy people

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3818233/posts

The 14 coronavirus-stricken Americans evacuated from a cruise ship in Japan were flown back to the US on a plane full of healthy people against advice from the CDC, a report said Thursday.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials argued the 14 infected Diamond Princess passengers shouldn’t be flown back with the about 300 virus-free people — but ultimately lost the battle to the US State Department, according to The Washington Post.

....

Not sure about this article. Why would State Dept go against CDC recommendations/safety precautions?

Well the President of South Korea just said the situation is severe. So probably no more church services or large meetings for awhile.

Why do they even have the authority to over rule CDC ?

State Dept is who arranged for the flights.

We were wondering about this, on previous thread, when they allowed the infected ppl to fly with the non-infected.

More, here....

....The U.S. said it arranged the evacuation because people on the Diamond Princess were at a high risk of exposure to the virus. For the departing Americans, the evacuation cuts short a 14-day quarantine that began aboard the cruise ship Feb. 5.

The State Department announced later that 14 of the evacuees received confirmed they had the virus but were allowed to board the flight because they did not have symptoms. They were being isolated separately from other passengers on the flight, the U.S. State and Health and Human Services said in a joint statement.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, said Sunday that an infected person who shows minimal symptoms could still pass the virus to someone else.....

What’s going to be interesting, is if these other passengers (the non-infected, at time of flight) become infected.

I don’t think I need to say this is sarcasm, but just in case, “this is sarcasm”.

You shouldn't have had to, but there are still some idiots that don't get it.

They were flown back in a separate flight isolation unit.



Check out the photo. What type of instruction did the passengers have for wearing N95 masks. Check out the person on the right. This was not an isolated incident. There are other photos of passengers incorrectly wearing masks.

The infected passengers were inside a biocontainment unit on the plane.

I’ve seen people post this wapo story all day to slam President Trump, but we don’t know the details,of the decision. I do know that I do not trust the CDC

:(

Every time containment fails, containment elsewhere becomes harder.

Central America being a problem was predicted quite some time ago.

Islamists getting ahold of this virus to use as a bioweapon has been warned about as well.

Now that it probably doesn’t matter, Africa will be next, where it will be virtually unstoppable.

I’ve been saying “don’t panic, prepare and be vigilant.” It is time, people, to take it to the next level. Stock up on supplies before the general panic sets in, especially canned foods and lots of water (if you’re already a prepper you’re probably fine). All the essentials. Masks & booties. Plastic sheeting, duct tape. Prepare for the coming quarantines & maybe preemptively isolate your family. You probably have a week or so before it’s everywhere.

I feel a little silly saying this. I’ll happily be wrong. I don’t think I am.
