Quote from story:

had worn the proper protective gear while working

This is what is called a _clue_.

This virus just refuses to play by the "rules".

The CDC is _way_ behind the curve...

They’re trying to fight a level 4 virus with level 2 or 3 gear.

Will never work.

I suspect ‘we’ knew early on with the Chinese case in Washington state because HE was treated with robots.

But I wonder if the circulating virus outbreak there came from staff that contracted it unknowingly.

According to King County, if you are wearing a mask inside a bank it just means you are going to make an undocumented withdrawal. :-)

Iteresting. Has it occurred to anyone that smokers may be more susceptible because they are constantly putting something in their mouths?

Agreed. Touching surfaces (fomites) and touching mouth.

Notes on King Co. presser ( by Sharon Sanders at FluTrackers)

Very stressful situation at nursing home for families. Condolences.

CDC team is on site providing guidance.

COVID-19 can cause serious disease. Also can be mild.

More condolences.

“Shifting landscape” Shifting by the hour”

Determined to slow spread. Protect economy.

Recommending for older people over 60 with underlying conditions + pregnant women - stay home as much as possible.

Encouraging teleworking.

No large gatherings (over large gatherings)

King county cancelling large meetings for 3 weeks.

King county workers to telework if possible for 3 weeks.

Placed module units for public health use on county land. Seeking additional locations. Have 2 more locations for modular units. Finalized purchase of motel in Kent.

These are stressful times.

Your cooperation (the citizens) is needed.

Slow spread and reduce number of people infected. Concerned about stress to the healthcare system. First responders.

Distancing measures are essential to maintain health care system.

20% can get severe illness, no treatment, no vaccine.

Vulnerable people should try and stay home as much as possible. Avoid crowds.

More talk about telecommuting, teleworking.

STAY HOME WHEN YOU ARE SICK.

Asking employers to stagger start and leave times.

Postpone large group meetings.

In conversations with schools. Not recommending closures at this time unless there is a confirmed case. Children have not been shown to be a high risk group. Assessing benefits and negatives of closures. Children go elsewhere if school closed.

Call your health care provider before you show up.

Amazon and Microsoft are doing on online meetings.

Do elbow bumps, for instance, instead of hand shakes.

Important for all us to do our part.

39 diagnosed including 10 deaths

Can test 200 specimens a day (100 tests).

Trying to bring additional testing capacity to Washington state.

Apparently did not evacuate nursing home. Keeping healthy people there. Working on infection control at nursing home.

As per CDC anyone with any symptoms can be tested for Covid-19.
