Crew member for Fox’s ‘neXt’ tests positive for coronavirus, network now taking careful precautions
....
“We have been notified by the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) that a crew member on ‘neXt,’ which concluded production in Chicago last week, has tested positive for COVID-19 and is receiving treatment,” a Disney Television Studios spokesperson told Fox News. “We are working closely with the CDPH to identify and contact all individuals who came in direct contact with the crew member, and are taking precautions to protect all who work on our productions.”

The reality of the situation is that there is little to do to stop this virus. There is no treatment and there are no mitigating factors—short of a complete lockdown. And there is no way to lockdown the US the way Xi did in China.
That said, the government puts on a happy face.
I honestly think Trump is more concerned and interested with the economic impact of this. His continual talking up of the market is tedious. Most of the market is falling because of the oil hit, but he seems to think it is Virus Panic.
I hope he is working on a post virus recovery plan. Because that is the only thing that is going to save him now.

A relative of mine works in the public school system. A kindergarten age student had high fever, went to clinic and was given strep culture and standard influenza screen. No mention of cv19 test.
At this point are they looking at contact history, travel destinations, etc?

More than 250 Grand Princess passengers arrive at Dobbins Air Force Base in Georgia wearing masks and gloves as they begin 14 days of quarantine after 21 people on board contracted coronavirus
More than 250 passengers arrived overnight into Dobbins Air Force Base in Georgia for quarantine
In exclusive pictures obtained by DailyMail.com, the passengers were seen wearing face masks and gloves and were assisted off the plane by personnel wearing hazmat clothing
The passengers include 34 Georgia residents and up to 271 people in total
Authorities said none of the individuals have shown symptoms of coronavirus
407 people, including two hundred Canadians, were evacuated late Monday night
999 were evacuated throughout Tuesday, bringing the total number of passengers disembarked to 1,406
There still remains an estimated 1,015 passengers on board and 1,113 crew members
Two passengers and 19 crew members tested positive for coronavirus on Friday
Without a lot more information about the child and the school, it would make sense to think more about Chicken Pox than Coronavirus.
If the Dad worked at Biogen, or the Boston Long Wharf Marriott...I wouldn’t be too worried.

Man with ‘presumptive positive’ case of COVID-19 in Tarrant County identified as Episcopal rector in Fort Worth
...
The man with the first “presumptive positive” case of COVID-19 in Tarrant County has been identified as the rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth officials said Wednesday morning.
Rev. Dr. Robert Pace has been hospitalized in isolation, diocese officials said. His wife, who is also a reverend, has tested negative but is remaining in self-quarantine at home for 14 days.
He was tested Monday at a local hospital and admitted with pneumonia. He received the results around 5 p.m. Tuesday. His case is considered a presumptive positive until the CDC confirms it.
Pace spoke at the church’s Lenten program on March 4, which had about 45 people attend. The Tarrant County Public Health department has identified those who were at the service and plan to call them beginning Wednesday afternoon to discuss their health...
...He had gone to Kentucky to attend a conference of Episcopal parishes in Louisville from Feb. 19 through Feb. 22. A conference attendee later tested positive for the disease, but Pace said he did not knowingly have any contact with that person.
Concur. As of now no known cases of cv19 in our neck of the woods.
I have my daughter back from UNC Chapel Hill and her friend from Appalachian State and my son from ECU all over at my house for a couple of days. There have been no reports of any cases from those schools. So far, so good.
Don’t worry. Granny and Gramps are hunkered down watching Fox News and the Hallmark channel. LOL.
