My point
That’s a handy map to keep track of.
I thought Russia had reported one case.
Oops!
Here we go!
Dostveedanya, Comrades.
Yeah - I went back over to Reddit to find the source article, just a blurb from CNN:
2 hr 11 min ago
19 Washington firefighters who showed symptoms of coronavirus moved to isolation
From CNN’s Julia Jones
The 19 firefighters who showed symptoms of “having a serious exposure to a confirmed COVID-19 patient” in King County, Washington, have been moved to isolation, according to Doug Stern, president of the International Association of Fire Fighters.
These 19 firefighters are part of the 25 CNN reported earlier were in quarantine after responding to calls at the Life Care Center nursing facility. All are firefighters with the Kirkland Fire Department.The remaining firefighters will remain in quarantine.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, isolation separates sick people with a contagious disease from people who are not sick. Quarantine separates and restricts the movement of people who were exposed to a contagious disease to see whether they become sick.
Stern said that while most of the isolated firefighters are showing symptoms, a few of the firefighters are being isolated only because of their exposure.
As per CNN rules, the article conveniently contradicts itself.
Looks that way. I expect to see cases here in PA. in a few days.
We share a long border with NY State.
yup, v.
Again, sorry if this was posted, I’m just catching up with the news...

I do feel sorry for the regular Iranian people...but not for the overlords who run the country.
Well I’m glad you know what you were trying to communicate, but nobody else does.
40,000 WA folks went to a soccer game this last weekend—not very bright imho—my mama told me “People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.”
The reason she told me that was because we _did_ live in an ultra-modern house that was almost all glass. ;-)
Just took my first United States travel cancellation. Client was scheduled for a conference in Las Vegas this weekend. Organizers cancelled it.

(5th LD) S. Korea’s virus cases top 4,300, school breaks extended nationwide
San Antonio positive Corona person left JBSA Lackland via 3rd party transport, and went to Holiday Express near Airport. Arrived 2:30 pm Saturday.
At 5:30 arrived at North Star Mall via hotel shuttle. Visited Dillard’s, Swarovski, Food court, and Talbot’s, but the stores are at opposite ends of the mall, and food court is upstairs. Ate Chinese Food at the Food Court. Returned to hotel.
Picked up at Holiday Express by CDC @ 2am Sunday. North Star Mall closed for 24 hours Today -Tues for deep cleaning.
Wow That GSA auction mask is rated pm2.5 so is good for smoke and haze, too, IIRC.
” North Star Mall closed for 24 hours Today -Tues for deep cleaning.”
Why bother?
This virus is now endemic to the human population and any effort at containment is a fool’s game.
Oops, Holiday Inn Express not Holiday Express.
An “abundance of caution.”
Get used to hearing that.
Haven’t spent much time in SA since 2002. Gotta say, in the last 2 months my list of reasons I love livin in the boonies has ‘bout doubled.
