Gov. Inslee to restrict gatherings of more than 250 people, including sports and concerts

OLYMPIA – To try to help stop the spread of the coronavirus, Gov. Jay Inslee is expected Wednesday to restrict gatherings of more than 250 people, including at sporting events and concerts.

The measure, the most sweeping since the outbreak began in the state, will be announced during a Seattle news conference, according to a source involved in conversations with the governor’s office but who has not been cleared to discuss the issue.

Joining Inslee will be the mayors of Seattle, Everett and Tacoma and executives for King Snohomish and Pierce counties.

Initially the prohibition would be imposed only in Snohomish, King and Pierce counties, according to The Herald of Everett.

Half measures.

Maybe we should thank the governor. The state of WA seems to have lots of test kits and lab supplies, so we will get really good data on how this virus cranks up in a cluster.

Current WA positives: 162
Friday the 13th projected: 324
March 16 proj. 648
March 19 proj. 1,296
March 22 proj. 2,592
March 25 proj. 5,184
March 28 proj. 10,368
End of March: 20,736 x .15 = 3,110 in hospitals
