This is going to take a lot longer than two weeks.

Oh duh, I wasn’t thinking about the snowbirds. A lot of them end up in the N. GA mountains for the summer

A Pinehurst OB/GYN with FirstHealth of the Carolinas has tested positive for coronavirus, hospital officials said in a press release on Wednesday. The doctor learned of his positive test on Wednesday, officials said, and first exhibited symptoms on Tuesday.

The doctor last had contact with patients on March 13 and officials said it is believed the infection was acquired during a trip to Germany. After learning that Germany was added to the CDC list of high-alert countries, the doctor began self-quarantine, officials said.

“their all gonna get infected now”

They are all heading for the hills. They will post on social media, give details about their close contact with the infected, somberly state they are self quarantining to protect others, and express their hope that their story and experience can serve to help and inspire others.

That will get them through a couple of weeks, most probably don’t have a plan for after that, yet.

“I have no idea why but my nephew just got called back to his military base only 4 days into his paternity leave.”

We know NG is being mobilized all over the country.

First I’ve heard of regulars.

But an enforced quarantine around NYC or Seattle is not out of the question at this point.

Well your reality is not the reality in most other states. Definitely not here in Maryland.

(My paraphrase) The report clearly states that the only way to know if it’s working is by seeing what’ happens after there’s a relaxation on the quarantine.

“Martial law is on the way. Very soon.”

It will not be called ‘martial law’, but it will be a ‘nice’ martial law. Just get arrested for being on the street without authorization, not shot. Not yet.

“Martial law is on the way. Very soon.”

Newsom in CA has already used the term.

“south Korea 152 new cases and 7 deaths that bad daily ratio has pushed the overall fatality rate to 1.06%”

I admit my weakness. The urge to rub some butflubro noses in it is strong. It would be wrong, though. The saddest part is that the stupidity of some will cost the lives of many.

If you look at that long boring US plan

https://int.nyt.com/data/documenthelper/6819-covid-19-response-plan/d367f758bec47cad361f/optimized/full.pdf#page=1

it looks like the military may be used to provide perimeter security for newly created health care facilities—at least as a first step.

They may also help secure and transport critical equipment and supplies to those facilities.

How many of these snowbirds vote twice in general elections? It is probably very easy for John J Smith, with a Florida address, to vote in person while John Smith, with a New York address, votes by absentee ballot. This has probably increased the Dems vote over the years.
