This will be the forever thread.
Not good!!
This is getting worse, by the report.
At least the reports we’re lucky to get. :(
It is a threat to public health! It needs to be made public. I think it is not even on the radar of the general public. That is criminal - esp if those in charge have information that could have encouraged people to prepare. Why wouldn’t they do that? I don’t get it. Doesn’t it help local government if people who may potentially have to quarantine have a month or two of supplies?
I sure as heck hope they are testing these severe flu cases, especially the younger healthy folks who are dying of pneumonia...

a tiny bright spot of news out of Singapore:
Ten more COVID-19 patients were discharged from hospital, including a DBS employee and several people linked to the Grace Assembly of God church cluster, Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Friday (Feb 21). In total, 47 patients have recovered from the novel coronavirus in Singapore. “We now have more cases who have recovered and discharged than those actually still hospitalised,” says Assoc Professor Kenneth Mak, MOH’s director of medical services.
Singapore also reported one more confirmed case of COVID-19, bringing the number of cases in the country to 86: https://cna.asia/2vRpoSk
Same thing happening in Texas...Minimum to NO details, about treatment or location of evacuees.
The most detail that I’ve seen, of ANY US cases, was from Hawaii, where they mentioned the hotel, in Oahu, where the infected guy had stayed.
This is some good news, as all eyes were watching Singapore - with a good healthcare system - could handle their cases and containment.
“Our concern continues to be the potential for #COVID19 to spread in countries with weaker health systems.” - Dr. Tedros
So much for the rest of us.
“Shoppers have been queuing up to buy surgical masks across Hong Kong in the weeks since the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 was first detected in the city. Mask prices have skyrocketed amid supply shortages that have prompted the government to step up efforts to buy or manufacture them locally. Meanwhile, members of a local theatre group are taking matters into their own hands by turning a rehearsal room into a temporary mask-making factory. “
They are making 3 ply masks, and offering them to medical workers. Also plan to distribute to the poor who can’t afford to pay the high prices being charged for masks. Here’s how they make them.

here’s another feel-good video - Chinese in Canada chose to self-quarantine for 14 days even though Canadian govt said they didn’t have to. They feel they should quarantine for the safety of the community and say that many in their Chinese community feel the same way - that they see how their countrymen are quarantined in China and feel they are doing their part, too
