The mayor of San Francisco declared a state of emergency over coronavirus fears on Tuesday shortly after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a warning that the U.S. will likely see more cases.
There are 57 known cases in the U.S. and no cases in San Francisco, but Mayor London Breed pointed to the virus’ unpredictability and troubling global growth.
"We see the virus spreading in new parts of the world every day, and we are taking the necessary steps to protect San Franciscans from harm," Breed said. She said many of the city's residents travel to mainland China, so it is not far-fetched to suspect cases in the future.
SFGate reported that U.C. San Francisco two cases successfully earlier this month. The declaration is effective immediately and will be voted on early next month. The Los Angeles Times reported that San Diego and Santa Clara counties have made similar declarations.
China, by far, still has the most cases and deaths from the illness, though its numbers have slowed recently. Chinese officials Wednesday reported another 406 cases and 52 additional deaths, all of them in hard-hit Hubei province and all but 10 in the epicenter of the city of Wuhan.
China has recorded 2,715 deaths from COVID-19 and 78,064 confirmed cases of the virus on the mainland since the illness emerged in December.
New outbreaks occurring in far-flung places were raising concerns about containing the illness and what will happen when it reaches new places.

This is where the Homeless crisis is going to explode all along the left coast.
Yes, many diseases can spread that way. In Hong Kong someone caught the Wuhan virus because they shared a sewer pipe with someone directly 10 floors above. The active virus is present in human waste.
It’s the dems way of diverting attention from their socialist presidential candidate
Yes - once you declare an emergency, you’re eligible for Federal dollars
Proving this fake “panic” bs is a Democrat strategy.
Meanwhile, San Fran Nan is in her gated compound, guzzling Jameson through her mask and shouting at her household help, “Unclean! Unclean!”
If “Gaia” is the Democrats in office across the Country, then yes. If you mean it’s living planet thing that’s aware...Nope, not me.
More like San Fran has an emergency coliform crisis.
So are you saying that San Francisco Mayor Breed was correct in declaring a health emergency without one extant case of coronavirus in the city?
Indeed this state has it’s had out for everything yet they boast about it’s economy and still 2 trillion in the hole.
All models are wrong, including religious models, but some are useful. Definitely Gaia is wrong but as an abstract thinking tool it can be useful sometimes. There are billions of different life forms on Earth, all trying to out-compete each other. There is a reverse entropy in the universe that wants to become alive, even if just for a few minutes, and it will kill to get it. What drives it is a mystery.
Curious about if there are any studies that have been done on fecal coliform bacteria contamination of door handles and other public surfaces in downtown SF?
Reminder That There's Fecal Matter On Practically Everything
"Fecal matter can survive for days or sometimes even weeks on surfaces, according to Reynolds. A body of research has found that either the coliform bacteria, which is found in feces, or small traces of fecal matter itself exist on innocuous, everyday items like coffee mugs, keyboards, kitchen sponges and even your bag or purse."
It's not a question of whether you eat shit or not, it's how much, eh?

I guess the next time someone tells me to eat shit I’ll tell them I already have.
