China Is Reopening Its Wet Markets. That’s Good
Hold the outrage. Far from being cesspits of disease, they provide clean, fresh produce. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-04-04/coronavirus-closing-china-s-wet-markets-isn-t-a-solution

CA is surprising to me given the number of Asians and volume of international travelers.

Mostly I'm surprised at Santa Clara and San Francisco. I remember the early days, when cases started popping up in Santa Clara, and they looked a lot like South Korea in the way they aggressively tracked each and every case to its origin and tracked down contacts. I really didn't believe they could do it, and it looked like they would be ground zero for CA. They were also the first to implement social distancing, cancel public events and issue stay at home orders. If "flattening the curve" is the goal, it appears they are very successful.

At the other end of the state, keep an eye on Los Angeles. CV19 appears to have gained a foothold there, and it could get bad. San Diego might become collateral damage. If it gets really bad, I think we might see the Border Patrol checkpoints between LA and SD closed, or at least doing fever checks.

I was referring to digital cash.
Nobody uses real, paper cash anymore.
It’s like carrying around a petri dish that everyone throws their used TP into.

Or, the one about what the (empty) hospitals really are being used for.

Strange days, indeed.

Interesting. China seems to have a public food buying panic in which the people are ignoring the Party because they allegedly don't trust it. This has possibilities.

Something to consider, ITaly can be considered to be “one epidemic”. In the US we have a “plum pudding” of individual epidemics, each of which have probably followed pretty classical epidemiology up to this point. But when they get “accumulated” since they are all at “different places in time, our “National” data is beginning to “smear out” and deviate from the “classical” model. Whatever your Day 18 is, that kind of variance indicates not enough data to tamp down the noise. “A curve that looks like a saw blade ain’t a curve.”

IIRC they said this is why NYC Homicide detectives need PPE. I would imagine a whole lot of folks are considering “settling old scores” at this time.

“Far from being cesspits of disease, they provide clean, fresh produce.”

The cesspit sewers under China’s markets is the ideal environment for the continued development and escape of myriad zoonotic pathogens.

The collective knowledge of every scientist on the planet could not design a more perfect environment for disease development.

And it’s OBVIOUS Bloomberg is taking money, or somehow getting favor from PRC.

Yes, Norcal and Socal are really two different states.

Trouble is brewing in Socal.

Well you will be pleased to know that the corporation over my husband’s franchise said on Friday that employees can wear masks they bring from home (per legal). Well, I guess there was a kerfluffel over that advice, because now corporate will be providing masks next as well as a person to teach how to don/doff properly 👍 They’ve already been using gloves.

“Fake driver up test stations reported”

LOL

They probably take Visa and MC.

How dumb does somebody have to be to fall for such nonsense?

Covid-19 patients put on the Navy Medical ship Comfort by mistake

Coronavirus patients delivered to hospital ship Comfort in New York by mistake: US officials

By Lucas Tomlinson | Fox News
EXCLUSIVE - Multiple patients infected with coronavirus were transferred to the hospital ship Comfort from the Javits Center in New York by mistake, three U.S. officials tell Fox News.

The number of Covid-19 patients brought on board the hospital ship was estimated to be “less than five,” one official said.

This information has not been previously reported.

The patients were transferred sometime Friday, according to the officials. At the time the patients were transferred to the hospital ship Comfort, the initial screening did not indicate they were positive, officials said.

The hospital ship is located on Pier 90 on Manhattan’s west side and arrived in New York Monday. The vessel has a “couple dozen” patients on board right now, according to chief Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman.

Part of the protocol before receiving patients onboard Comfort is for a coronavirus test to be performed. The swab test came back hours later, but not before the patients had spent a night onboard the vessel, which is only supposed to treat trauma patients, not Covid-19 positive patients.
