and the dirty sheets, etc. are all still in there.”

What they are saying on the news: people staying in same apartment with infected guy are in mandatory lock down and police are posted outside to make sure they don’t leave. People in hazmet suits have gone into apartment and removed all the guy’s bedding, trash, towels, etc. and are disinfecting the whole place. Other people are bringing them food.

Two issues with the people who live in this area. They speak as many as 8 different languages - you just thought English was our language, right? Medical care facilities are running out of masks. Apparently only one manufacturer left in the U.S. and they are somewhere in northern Texas. Small crew but they can hire people and crank up production relatively quickly. China ordered bunch of masks from them and DOD reportedly has asked them for quote. Just one of the problems we are going to encounter by sending our manufacturing outside the U.S. but unlike some other things we use, this could have a direct effect on our ability to keep people healthy.

Thank God this guy was able to downsize yet still maintain the ability to provide protective equipment otherwise we would be SOL.

When did they send in the hazmat teams?

I heard, this morning, that the stuff was still in there, but that his “partner” had tried to clean with bleach (not sure regular household bleach is strong enough) - and that she was complaining that she didn’t have anything to eat in the house.

Doesn’t sound good to me.

"Other people are bringing them food."

Sliding pizzas under the door.
