CDC messed up, again! Misidentified the gender, of the person who died, at the POTUS presser. Can they not even get the deceased’s gender right??
This doesn’t sound good....
- Additional residents and staff of the LTCF who have not yet been tested for COVID-19 are reportedly either ill with respiratory symptoms or hospitalized with pneumonia of unknown cause.
- Circumstances suggest person-to-person spread in the community, including the LTCF.
A LTCF treating respiratory illnesses, being hit with CV.
Maybe why POTUS seemed so glum, during the presser :(
Public Health – Seattle & King County, Washington State Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are reporting three presumptive positive cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19), including one person who died. This brings the total of presumptive positive cases in King County to four.
Two of the confirmed cases are associated with LifeCare nursing facility in Kirkland, King County, Washington:
One is a health care worker from LifeCare. She is a woman in her 40s, is currently in satisfactory condition at Overlake Hospital, and she has no known travel outside the United States.
The second case, a woman in her 70’s, is a resident at LifeCare and is in serious condition at EvergreenHealth Hospital.
In addition, over 50 individuals associated with LifeCare are reportedly ill with respiratory symptoms or hospitalized with pneumonia or other respiratory conditions of unknown cause and are being tested for COVID-19. Additional positive cases are expected.
The death occurred in a patient at EvergreenHealth Hospital but was not a resident of the long-term care facility.
Public Health – Seattle & King County is current working with LifeCare to provide care for ill patients while protecting uninfected patients. The CDC is sending a team of epidemiologists to King County to support our efforts to identify, isolate and test all of those who may be at risk because of these new cases.
Public Health is at the very beginning stages of this investigation and new details and information will emerge over the next days and weeks.
