San Diego received its first confirmed case of coronavirus Monday, an official familiar with the situation confirmed to 10News.
According to the source, the individual was aboard the first flight from Wuhan, China to Miramar last Wednesday.
The official says the individual is an adult. It’s unclear whether the patient is a man or a woman.
The individual was taken to the UC San Diego Medical Center for treatment.
The first flight from China landed at Miramar last Wednesday. A second plane arrived at the base later in the week.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, all those aboard the flights were quarantined for a mandatory 14-day hold.
WHY are planes from China being allowed to land in the U.S.? Are the officials crazy?
Because it’s racist not to let people in your country - infected or not.

China now says being infected isn’t enough — you have to display symptoms to be counted. (See link above)
I wonder if the health official I’m CA who bragged about not needing to wear masks while talking to these evacuees will be able to sleep tonight.
BRING OUT YOUR DEAD GROUP PING!
Read elsewhere the N95 masks are useless against this virus. Better than nothing...
Next thing you know they'll say it'll travel over the jet stream. Better stock up on some tarps and duct tape!
Do we need more scientific studies? YES.
Should we be rolling the dice letting people out to possibly infect dozens more?
You tell me. If it’s your parents, kids, grandkids, or you... you roll those dice?
My understanding is aerosolized means particles are smaller than .5 microns. The N95 mask is rated. 3 microns.
Here is a study that might help:

Yep that weak ass 72 hour hold the CDC wanted to do at first would have released the virus into the community.
Does the 14 day quarantine start over for everyone else in quarantine? Or were they isolated in a way that it couldn’t have spread?
Does the quarantine time, for these Miramar peeps, start all over, again??
From another thread and FWIW:
Chat with acquaintance in HK.
1. If you don’t keep your shoes outside of your house or scrupulously manage them just inside your door and handle them as if you were removing a diseased kidney from an AIDS patient, including immediately scrubbing your hands, forget about the masks, etc. Streets are always filthy, and now they are contagious.
2. 27 Chinese cities are under quarantine, including three major coastal cities. This is a catastrophe. 3. Economic activity has been essentially zeroed out. He has knowledge of a large liquor/food distribution company. Revenues of that company have fallen to zero. Not down, zero. No one is eating in restaurants or bars. Other consumer businesses are likewise in free fall. And no business, not even Microsoft or Apple, can survive for more than a month or two with zero revenues. Zero, not down, zero. Entire factory districts are empty. Not just one factory, miles of them.
4. The Chinese banking system will collapse. When your loan customers have zero revenues, you have zero revenues. Of course, the government will print money, but so what.
5. All modern distribution systems are built around just in time delivery. If you quarantine a modern city for more that 48 hours, everything starts to run out.
6. The quarantines make no sense in light of what has been publicly stated about the disease. To be effective, a quarantine must be longer than the incubation period and the infectious period. That period means probably a month. China will not survive a month long quarantine.Thus, why bother?
7. The gov is now driving large trucks up and down city streets with fogging equipment. Giant clouds of who knows what.
7. HK has four routes in, and weirdly, only three have been cut off. It appears, that keeping a road open into HK (heavily guarded and checked, but nevertheless open) is more important to the commies than keeping 27 huge cities open. Hmmm..... He observes that HK has always been the way out of China.
8. He was already in the US when the SHTF, his issue is he can’t go back (not that he’s all fired up about that). But he was standing in the local big airport, and heard a US customs person ask a person of Chinese persuasion if they had been to Wuhan in the last month. My friend almost burst out laughing. A. Saying yes is an automatic 14 day quarantine, so no one in their right mind answers yes. And the US has no means of verifying the answer. B. Just Wuhan? 9. The Party’s response to the published nature of the disease is entirely disproportionate. The Party’s actions are consistent with an end of the world disease. Not a bad case of the flu. 27 closed cities?
Fogging trucks? If one assumes the leadership has a reasonable level of IQ, an instinct for self preservation, and some reasonable level of IQ among its advisers, something much worse than a bad case of the flu is on the loose.
Other than that, everyone’s doing great. /I’m not buying masks, I’m buying disposable booties.
//oh, forgot. The countries sending aircraft in for their nationals are not being nice. They are being scared sh*tless that said nationals will make it back into their home countries on their own, if left to their own devices. The planes are flying prisons.
I’m sure the other 170-ish people who were on that flight just got a lot more nervous about their ordeal.

If everyone remembers they were landing 90 planes a day from china up until a week ago. The fun is just beginning.
I’m buying disposable booties.
I have been posting don’t bother with the masks since the run on buying them came.
Booties might be appropriate and good disposable gloves.
You might be lucky to get this one early and get healthcare.
Six months from mow healthcare might consist of being deadbolted in your bedroom with red tape on it. Look at the concentration camps, er, hospitals (no dividers between large open spaces of infected people) in China.
“You might be lucky to get this one early and get healthcare.”
Who says you can’t get it again?
My wife is on chemo and her immune system is compromised.
The first day I read about this I went out and bought a couple extra boxes of masks. And three boxes of gloves.
She has routinely worn these when visiting her mom in the nursing home and hospital, so we are using them anyway.
When I was in CVS the other day I was joking with the pharmacists. They were telling me they don’t think they will get masks back in stock until late spring.
