The 195 Americans who were evacuated from Wuhan, China, in late January have now been released from the first mandatory quarantine the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has ordered in more than 50 years.
The group, which faced numerous health screenings both in China and during their trip and quarantine, has now been "medically cleared," health officials said Tuesday, clearing the way for them to leave the March Air Reserve Base in Southern California.
"Our guests at March Air Reserve Base are happy to see an official end today to their 14-day quarantine and are looking forward to returning home. We wish them well!" Riverside University Health System - Public Health said via Facebook Tuesday, posting an image of the evacuees gathered together outside, tossing blue face masks into the air.
There are no confirmed cases of the 2019 novel coronavirus among the 195 evacuees, the health system said in a statement disseminated by the Department of Health and Human Services.

Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

March Air Reserve Base is only a few miles from my house. I did develop a sniffle today. But I am up wind, a very strong will today. North to northeast winds 20 to 35 mph, with gusts to 60 mph. Local gusts to 70 mph But I am really fine.

I can’t help but feel that releasing them early is a mistake.

The drama teacher who has been playing the role of Prime Minister Mistake of Canada Kanadahar, Justin(e) True-dope, has turned Canada into a stoned (on legalized pot), turd-world country. God help us!
To: datura
And apparently this confirmed case was allowed BACK onto the base to mix with these people a day before they were all cut loose.
What could possibly go wrong!?

Premature Evacuation ?BAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH!
