NEBRASKA - 4hrs ago March 2
2 cruise peeps released yesterday, two to be released today. 3 negatives more than 24 hours apart. I dunno why but the tape was cut short just as one of the fellas was about to discuss one patient enrolled in a drug trial...
gist:
move from containment (preventing spread) to mitigation (lessening impact). Potentials: cancelling large events in affected areas; social distancing - churches, schools, intermural sports; teleworking, etc. Predicting timing and severity.

140 Diamond Princess cruise ship evacuees released after two-week quarantine
About 140 evacuees from the Diamond Princess cruise ship headed home Monday after being released from a 14-day quarantine at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, Calif.
Those released showed no signs of coronavirus, a CDC spokesman confirmed to The Washington Post on Monday.
...Monday’s departures mark the last major wave of evacuees from the cruise ship to be released. There were 180 evacuees released Feb. 18, and 53 followed two days later, Christian Conrad, a spokesman for Travis Air Force Base, told The Post. Fewer than 10 people remain in quarantine at the base, though their conditions were unclear.
