Those who test positive for coronavirus at Travis AFB told they must go. But where?

Coronavirus patients can’t stay at Travis Air Force Base, the federal government has announced.

But so far there’s nowhere else for them to go.

On Saturday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told Diamond Princess cruise ship passengers that everyone who tests positive for the virus must be moved from the Fairfield quarantine, even if they’re not sick.

“We need to move them for observation and care, and to make sure people are being medically evaluated and their needs met,” said the CDC’s Peggy Honein in a phone briefing with the 156 passengers at the base.

Because there aren’t enough beds in specialized Northern California hospitals, the federal plan was to send them 431 miles south to Costa Mesa’s 125-acre Fairview Developmental Center, a state-owned facility for people with mental disabilities, which is now empty.

But the city’s leaders are blocking the move.

[Mariner]

Well, first of all a$$holes, quit moving them.

Then there's this from the article:

"But people who remain symptom-free for 14 days after their last day of known exposure can soon start planning their departure, Honein said. Starting March 2, buses will deliver them to Oakland, San Francisco and Sacramento airports."

Oh my.

[Kozak]

If he’s not careful this is going to be Trumps “Katrina”.
You know he is going to get the blame for the bumbling that the Feds have been guilty of.

This illness is a wild card in the 2020 race.

If it’s handled well, people will be less apt to blame the current POTUS.

If not...well people are like herds and if the economy goes down because of it and it is spread through bad moves by whomever...it’s gonna land at Trump’s feet.

I don’t put it at all past dems to help mess things up and cost lives if it will hurt the president.

For a while I didnt think this thing was gonna take off outside of China.

I think I was wrong.

[ZOOKER]

Midway Island was suggested, and that makes sense - although that should have been the FIRST destination.

Actually could have sailed the cruise ship there...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I hear there’s a cruise ship somewhere near Japan that can take them. There’s also a large province in Central China that would welcome them.

“You had this patient from Wuhan where the virus is, traveling to where the virus wasn’t. She remained asymptomatic and infected a bunch of family members and you had a group of physicians who immediately seized on the moment and tested everyone.”

According to the report by Dr. Meiyun Wang of the People’s Hospital of Zhengzhou University and colleagues, the woman traveled from Wuhan to Anyang on Jan. 10 and visited several relatives. When they started getting sick, doctors isolated the woman and tested her for coronavirus. Initially, the young woman tested negative for the virus, but a follow-up test was positive.

All five of her relatives developed COVID-19 pneumonia, but as of Feb. 11, the young woman still had not developed any symptoms, her chest CT remained normal and she had no fever, stomach or respiratory symptoms, such as cough or sore throat.

I'm scared to death this is going to get us our first Communist president. This couldn't be happening at a worse time. And the federal government is totally bungling it.

[Black Agnes]

We did tell you to give it 2 or 3 weeks to see for sure.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Time for habeas corpus.

[RummyChick]

For me, this is the one thing that could create the chaos for 2020. He HAS to handle this right..which given that we are dealing with the govt..it is a massive unknown.

Some idiot on another thread said we don’t have anything to worry about from the Commie crowd. He is oh so wrong.

They are trying to take over the Dem party..and so far they are doing it. People on both sides of the aisle see it.

And God Help Us..if Wuhan Flu becomes a Katrina times 10 we could, indeed, end up with a Commie President.

[arthurus]

I fear we have already let the virus out into the population. We will see over the next few days. The Left seems to want that outcome.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

If not...well people are like herds and if the economy goes down because of it and it is spread through bad moves by whomever...it’s gonna land at Trump’s feet.

It wouldn't surprise me if the whole thing has been confected for just such a purpose.

[Hot Tabasco]

told they must go. But where?

Get to Omaha!

The worst thing is that there are probably Deep Staters INSIDE the government abetting this thing getting out of control in order to take down Trump.

The unnamed State Department loon who put those cruise ship people on a plane to the US comes to mind. Now that they get here, there’s nowhere to put them. Why wasn’t that thought of BEFORE they boarded the plane?

There already aren’t enough isolation beds in Northern California. In a couple of weeks, we’ll probably have only 1% of the isolation beds we need to control this thing.

[null and void]

There were several FReepers who wanted those poor, poor people on the Diamond Princess brought here. Perhaps they can take them in?

Sidebar: I notice that the 2:33 JHU CSSE report decreased the number of "recovered" by one, and increased the number of "dead" by the same amount since the previous report...

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.

[aposiopetic]

And the federal government is totally bungling it.

So let's have them take over everyone's health care! < / s>

[BudgieRamone]

As of last night I heard they are headed to Anniston Alabama. People are none too happy about it, but apparently there is achem bio facility at McClellan to handle this...CBP I think people are referring to. An hour from Birmingham, Hour and a half from Atlanta

"If it’s handled well, people will be less apt to blame the current POTUS."

Nah. Trump voters know what's happening here.

[cnsmom]

Nancy Pelosi will personally spread the virus if she has to.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Very soon, the few beds in those special facilities are going to be 1% of what we need.
