MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Twenty people in Shelby County are being monitored by the health department in the fight against coronavirus. While there are no confirmed cases of the illness in Tennessee, Mississippi or Arkansas, health officials are upping their prevention protocols to keep the virus from reaching the Mid-South.
The Shelby County Health Department says those being monitored are Shelby County residents who reported recently traveling back from China. Right now, however, those individuals are not considered suspect or under investigation.............
Hopefully I didn’t post anything I wasn’t suppose to.
Memphis is 240 miles west.
Oh God we’re all gonna die!
In a couple weeks, if there is still a ban on China flights coming to the US, there should be no more stories like this, ‘recently returned from China and now suspect of having coronavirus’ as the 14 day span will be over and no new cases coming from China.
Dang it, where is my "Legal Will" software?
Oh yeah, it’s on a floppy disk. The old kind that was actually floppy. That won’t work.
Maybe there’s a download.
I’m in SE TN. I took my husband to our local ER Friday evening. Most of the people in the waiting room were wearing masks and so were all the ER staff. They asked if we had been out of the country in the last 30 days or in NY, NJ, or Chicago in the last 22 days. They are being very careful even in the small towns. I’m between Chattanooga and Knoxville.
I took my son to pediatrician today
Nothing unusual
Franklin cool springs area
Bttt
I only posted part of the article, I didn't see anything in the article about them being quarantining them in California. The news article is a day old though, and things change.
This on top of Atlanta. I’ll bet B’ham is next.
I’m in Athens, as in “The Battle of Athens”.
BIG difference between a practitioner’s office and an ER.
Especially a pediatrician.
Just sayin’.
I wonder if hospital was handing the masks out or people were getting them elsewhere. I don’t have any face masks if I have to goto the ER I might have to make a make shift one out of coffee filters, or half a bra, LOL.
Anyone have evidence of a non-Asian person getting sick from CoronaV?
I keep a good supply and a few in my purse this time of year but the hospital had some there for people that wanted one.
Now that might make a fortune if you hurry up and copyright it! LOL Let's start thinking of catchy names.
I’m sorry I think it’s overhyped
My oldest son loves that story
He’s all boogaloo
Well, we hope so....but, why risk it?
