Coronavirus Precautions: Hundreds In New York State (700+?!) Asked To Isolate Themselves, Including 112 On Long Island, 8 In Westchester

CBS News NY ^ | 2/27/20

CBS2 has learned hundreds of people are being monitored for possible coronavirus exposure in New York state.

The Health Department says 700 people in the state have been asked to voluntarily self-isolate for two weeks.

That includes 83 people in Nassau County, 29 in Suffolk County and eight in Westchester.

It’s important to point out there are no confirmed cases here, and no one in New York City or in New Jersey is being monitored.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it’s not a matter of if, but when the coronavirus becomes a bigger issue in the United States.

Just be glad they don’t use ‘LOGARITHMIC’!...............................

Because self quarantine works soooo well.

Just ask Ebola nurse Kaci Hickox or Corona comedian Frank King...

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.

They knew.

Have wondered the same thing about all our “made in China” products .....Chinese hands and chinese people who are coughing and sneezing will have touched those items, that wrap, those boxes ... and only a few weeks ago.

Dammit! I purposely didn’t put that word in the post in case someone sees it!!!

I remember eating the sugar cube vax at our school for polio.

Did you have MP's watching too?

[caww]

Ok....so prove it!... that “hundreds” of people are being monitored for “possible” coronavirus exposure in New York state.

My wife works at a school. Douchebag parents come back from overseas and dump their wheezing, coughing kids that just spent 15 hour in a flying petri dish right back into school.

Yep!!!! Can’t tell you as a medical provider how much I deal with this. And I’m always amazed at how these young families with kids can take these elaborate 2 week long vacations to ANYWHERE ....take all the kids, they all come back horribly ill ...with flu, with horrible coughs .... spoiled rotten entitlement goofs.

[FreeReign]

and yes, flues and viruses can remain on surfaces for quite a number of days I do believe-

I believe a factory worker in Wuhan could hack up a phlegm ball all over your Amazon order, you'd still be good to go by the time it arrived here.

I nearly responded with “the current curve looks more (that word)”...

[caww]

it’s CBS...no facts, they’re just ‘saying’.....

[oldasrocks]

They always ask if you have been to a foreign country.

[Leep]

Schummer’s friends and family?

[EBH]

Uh...article is legit and the health department said so...

[[I don’t want to sound alarmist here, BUT I am sick and tired of millennials destroying our language, like calling everything SURREAL, PENULTIMATE, and DECIMATED, for example. Now, I’m starting to hear them calling every increase “EXPONENTIAL” even though they have no idea what that is. I’m quite positive that exponential and geometric progressions aren’t taught in schools any longer. Make it stop!]]

I agree Umbragely in a Non Sequitor-like fashion, that isn’t capricious in the least. Unless of course you are feeling mellifluous at the time, then it’s Perfunctory to endeavor to verbalize in a Quagmire-lijke verbiosity that leaves one Flummoxed but Gregarious and Maudlin

We’ll see now how all these idiots clamoring for socialism and communism do having their freedom, maybe even their food and more, taken away for two weeks ...and it may even get worse.

The ability to wake up, plan your day, get in your car (and a car of your choosing, no doubt) and go where ever you wish is something we all take for granted, every single day.

[Artcore]

And still...LESS THAN 3,000 HAVE DIED FROM COVID-19 worldwide, while the CDC says that the flu has already killed between 10,000-25,000 in 2020!

This thing is being used by the Left to try and hurt both the economy and Trump!
