New coronavirus case could be first instance of 'community spread' in US, CDC says
CNN ^ | 02/27/2020 | Shelby Lin Erdman

A resident of Solano County, California, who has novel coronavirus might be the first example in the country of "community spread," a situation in which the patient did not have "relevant travel history or exposure to another known patient," the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday.

The person's "exposure is unknown," the CDC said in a news release.

"It's possible this could be an instance of community spread of Covid-19, which would be the first time this has happened in the United States," the agency said, using the name the World Health Organization gave this coronavirus.

Community spread means the virus begins moving through a community and the "source of the infection is unknown," the agency said.

"It's also possible, however, that the patient may have been exposed to a returned traveler who was infected," the CDC added.

The agency revealed the case was detected through California's public health system and that the patient is undergoing treatment in Sacramento.

The next question that should be asked given this person’s proximity to Travis AFB is does this person work at or with someone who does work on that base. Is he related to or a spouse that does? Because if that’s the case then the TSHTF that would mean they lost containment with the reparations which would be a political killer,so if that really is the source we the people will never know the political fallout of bringing positive cases here and then infecting your citizens would sink any administration.

You are correct, Travis AFB which is one of the quarantine sites is located in Solano County...Fairfield to be exact.

Its a short drive from there to several casino resorts... Graton, Cache Creek, and Thunder Valley are just a few names that come to mind.

I sure hope this unnamed patient wasn't a gambler.

Shore 'nuff,them jihadis are using the coronavirus for terrorism. My bride went to see kin in Florida and saw one walking down I-10 with a koran in one hand and a snotrag in the other.
I tried to explain how the only way humanity can survive an E.L.E. (Extinction Level Event) like the coming pandemic was polygamy and I downloaded all 5 seasons of "Big Love" for technical research. She was not one bit supportive.

You are not far off from the truth. The LDS will survive an ELE just fine one of the tenets of faith is to have at least a year of supplies for the end days. The LDS only gave up polygamy in the last hundred years under pressure to enter the union the FLDS still observe the original scriptures and after the US govt is no more you can bank on the LDS returning to the way. I am married to a blood descendant of Brigham Young we have a year of preps at home and the in-laws have a site near Johnson city where there is the family compound. The Mormons will survive and flourish.

He was sick and brought from another hospital in bad shape.. was admitted to Davis hospital on February 19 but was not tested for days because of CDC’s narrow testing criteria, officials say

UC Davis was treating some of the cruise ship cases.

I think this new patient was most likely suffering from complications of the Flu and then contracted COVID-19 at the UC Davis Hospital.

Oh yeah,when you scrape all the hocus pocus off polygamy is more biological than social.

Interesting, right after Trump goes on record the cal health authorities announce this. Coincidence? There is nothing called coincidence.

Plus those 83 routine quarantines in Nassau County NY of people who have returned from China.

News reports are making it seem like it just happened, and it didn't just happen. These routine quarantines have going on since about January 29.

And news headlines screamed about these people being exposed, but they didn't say in the headline that the exposure was in China, several weeks ago, not locally in Nassau County.

technically, his testing was delayed because people who fit the profile still needed to be testing, and testing is limited to a fix number a day.

They got to his tests eventually.

Meanwhile, he had been isolated already.

The CDC wanted expand testing more 2 weeks ago including those in hospitals with flu like symptoms that tested negative for the flu but that has been delayed do to a shortage of working test kits

well that is good news...i still don’t understand the test kits issues and how we were the only ones having issues....south Korea has tested 30,000 to date I think us around 450

also look for a “jump” in new cases and the media get even more crazy....but really they were there all along

The test kits one of the reagents was causing false reading, not sure if positive or negative. If it was false positives so be it better to have a false positive and inconvenience a few individuals by putting them under house arrest than false negative and have a spreader out sick or nurses n doctors using spash shields and not full bio masks

Woodpile report re CDC:

Only three of the more than 100 public health labs across the country have verified the CDC test for use . It means no one has been tested for this coronavirus in forty-seven states. The kits CDC distributed are flawed. and none have yet been replaced.

What are the real numbers of coronavirus cases in the US?

As we say around here, “you can’t find what you’re not looking for”.

Only three US states can test for coronavirus, says public lab group

PUBLISHED FRI, FEB 21 20201:04 PM EST:

California, Nebraska and Illinois are the only U.S. states that can currently test for coronavirus, the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) told Reuters on Friday.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) last week said some of the testing kits sent to U.S. states and at least 30 countries produced “inconclusive” results due to a flawed component.

The CDC planned to send replacement materials to make the kits work.

Like maybe that little hospital didn’t have a working CDC test kit:
