Shipping them around the world without a legit 14-day quarantine and only several days indoors and wearing masks seems highly irresponsible.

I have FRee Republic automatically reloading every minute in the browser tab, Twitter curated news feed (Hootsuite) automatically updating in my sideview (Firefox add-on with Stylish add-on making it fit and look nice) and Agenda Free TV playing in an Always On Top video pop-out window in the lower right of my 60inch 4K Ultra HDTV I use for a computer monitor.

"Several reports Hong Kong is out of toilet paper!"

Crap!

Must be a supply shortage from China. HK doesn't have that many cases, and if I recall only 17% have diarrhea.

Also remember that as infrastructure breaks down (and its well past broken there), the hospitals are more likely to see the relatively milder cases (the sicker cases, which 3 weeks ago would have called for an ambulance or Uber, are now dying behind closed doors, because there is no way they could walk to the hospital, or wait around for half a day just to be told to come back tomorrow). So this ratio will get even more misleading.

Doesn't sound plausible. I saw an announcement that they are only taking the most serious cases to the hospital, but I don't have a link.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSEU.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DOD Statement on Additional Request From HHS
FEB. 6, 2020

Secretary of Defense Dr. Mark T. Esper is expected to support a request from the Department of Health and Human Services which asked DOD to identify military installations near 11 major airports that could house additional passengers, should HHS facilities become filled. These are tertiary locations, and HHS already has primary and secondary locations identified that are not DOD facilities.

The DOD installations and the airports they could support as tertiary backups are:
JB Pearl Harbor-Hickam, HI (HNL)
Great Lakes Training Center Navy Base, IL (ORD)
Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base, TX (DFW)
March ARB, CA (LAX)
Travis AFB, CA (SFO)
Dobbins ARB, GA (ATL)
Fort Hamilton, NY (JFK)
Naval Base Kitsap, WA (SEA)
Joint Base Anacostia, DC (IAD)
Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ (EWR)
Fort Custer Training Center (DTW)

Under the request, DOD support at each location will be limited to providing housing support for up to 20 people as they undergo a period of quarantined observation. The department will also provide office space for several HHS personnel and their equipment through February 22, 2020.

As with prior coronavirus Requests for Assistance, HHS will be responsible for all care, transportation, and security of the evacuees.

DOD personnel will not be in direct contact with the evacuees and will minimize contact with personnel supporting the evacuees. Should routine monitoring of the evacuees identify ill individuals, HHS has procedures in place to transport them to a local civilian medical facility. HHS will also ensure that no evacuated personnel are transferred to any DOD installation if they are infected or ill.

The department continues to work closely with its interagency partners, while monitoring the situation. DOD has assessed this support will not negatively impact readiness or critical operations.

DOD's primary responsibility is the safety of our force, our families and our base communities. DOD personnel will follow guidance in the memorandum, "Force Health Protection Guidance for the Novel Coronavirus Outbreak," to reduce risk.

Oh man, I sure hope that’s just people with mild flu or a cold. It would spread like China if India and Africa get this rolling.

supposedly a mutation that involves virulence.

I ran across it yesterday.

I feel another set of tabs is going to appear on my desktop.

I read it was just the rumor of a possible future supply shortage (denied by stores and manufacturers) that caused a rush on TP and those instant noodles that caused the depletion.

People and rumors are like people and gossip, anything can result- usually the worst.

I sure hope he is able to make a good living doing this. It looks exhausting.

Many of our LCMS (Lutheran) missionaries are out. Many go home over the Lunar Holiday.

They can’t get back. Local churches are still online, but not much news.

Do you suppose the CDC is using the forced quarantine facilities as a Petri dishes to study the details of how the virus is contracted, spread, treated, etc. Since so little is known and controlled research so vital it makes sense that they would be doing this. I hope they are.
