CDC paper on early US contact tracing.
Shows low public spread, high spread in families (close contacts).
Here is my number four—because _somebody_ needs to consider this possibility:
(4) The virus rages on until herd immunity is established. By the time the vaccine is created it will not be needed.
THIS is the reason I’m posting the doubling rate data.
Be ready
Lockdown is coming
First the kids come from college and day care and other schools, then social environments, then businesses, then gov’t, then stay in your house.
Doubling rate indicates 25,000’US cases by March 19... Medical is overwhelmed before this and it begins.
It’s happening faster than what many realize because gov’t hasn’t truly informed them and problems getting worse due to failure to shut down what needs shutting, like flights, sports, business etc
When the medical system becomes overloaded in the US, katybarthedoor. Now imagine the ferrel of society without food, paychecks, money. I foresee National Guard out and is the thing they’ve been preparing for and delaying testing so they can get ready.
Good Lord I hope I’m wrong.

EAMC
@EastAlabamaMed
EAMC is making changes daily in response to the COVID-19 coronavirus. We have begun screening all patients for COVID-19 symptoms (fever, cough, difficulty breathing) PRIOR to entry into the ER. Auburn University Medical Clinic will begin the same process after Spring Break

WAFF 48
@waff48
Alabama has started the testing process for COVID-19 - or the coronavirus. There have been about 20 tests done and no reported cases.

At costco now. Every single cart has 1-2 mega packs of toilet paper.
The president has worked with labs and they’ve agreed to do all tests for covid19 for free.
I think Costco is limiting quantities, aren’t they?
They’re going to miss the mark. Most predictions I have seen have the healthcare system being overwhelmed by end of April without any measures to slow it down.
Good!!
I hope all HC facilities follow this process.
Some are testing in the facility garages....a set up testing/screening station.
Good idea.
Don’t know. Just reporting what I see. About double normal volumes now. Not too bad.
Good speculations.
:(
Your self serving hysteria is detrimental to America
One more thing nobody wants to say so I will go there:
How are we protecting the National Guard folks going to New Rochelle? The virus is not deterred by weapons. :-(
Thankful POTUS negotiated that.
I can’t believe that wasn’t already in place, considering.
“Attempts at talking down
the disease and soothing the markets have backfired.”
When people realize the total failure of the Federal government, they are going to be pissed.
And that failure starts at the top.
25k is not very many. The problem is that we are having a heavy Influenza A and B season
NEW: World Trade Organization cancels all meetings through March 20 after one of its staff members tested positive for coronavirus
I know- lots of that going around.
Bringing over from previous thread:

They will be wearing Military Chem suits with Military mask design for that environment.. We trained in them regularly during the cold war. If the Military still trains for NBC warfare they should be able to handle it with no issues.
I remember being in gear for a week at a time during exercises. You could not leave the play area without going through decom.
