The head of the Port Authority — who has been visiting local airports and other transit facilities — has the coronavirus, Gov. Cuomo said Monday.
PA Executive Director Rick Cotton tested positive for the deadly bug and is now quarantined, the governor told reporters.

Deadly bug.....NOT for most people. Most survive and I assume he is not living in a senior facility and healthy.
Hey NY Post! Fearmonger much?
Who might the head of the Port a Authority be meeting with often?
Chinese Ocean Shipping Company.
That he has visited transport facilities can paint the image that that is how he contracted the virus, but that cannot be left as the determining factor unless all those he has had close contact with are tested.
DNA analysis of viral test results does show slight DNA variations (mutations) which are/can be used to identify the chain of infection.
It may turn out - if all the proper tests and analysis are done, that the infection of the PA director was not a random passing contact in a transport facility, but someone with particular direct contact with him.
Isn’t it nice the elite and VIPs have access to a test.
What I want to know is if Cruz has been tested since all they say is voluntary quarantine.
Cruz is our example so we better follow suit.
Government employee spring break! They have it all figured out by now. Party time.
George, I’m just curious, have you asked to be tested and denied.
I hope that’s not the case. If it is, could you let us know who your medical insurer is.
This is important.
Old pic. They just showed him on the news and he’s at least 65.

So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!

So much FAKE NEWS!
#10 is directed to #7
I apologize.
In NYS a doctor must examine you first and refer you for the test if they think you need one
Well then, I hope George did what was required.
After all this is serious.
I was going to go to NYC tomorrow - but I just cancelled, not because I’m not worried about the virus but about the insane overreaction of the local government. They’ve been taking about imposing a quarantine on the city, shutting down public transit, etc. and with the complete collapse of law enforcement brought on by no bail and the decision not to charge younger offenders no matter what, I think it’s a place I’d rather not be for the next few days.
The disease is manageable and worth the risk; it’s the bizarre and unpredictable government actions and resulting public unrest that concern me. And this is going to put them into overdrive.
I think the media hysteria began partially as the usual if it bleeds it leads hype, combined with some theory that this could be used to get Trump. And now it’s slipped out of control.
Hopefully he does not have any chronic health problems. Sometimes people do not know they have chronic conditions.

I am convinced that the incubation period of this virus isn’t anywhere near 14 days, the current standard.
I think it is more like 28 days ++++. Too many persons have been tested negative, turned loose, and have been positive shortly thereafter.
I’m waiting for the fight over whether or not self-quarantine qualifies for sick pay.
