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

Posted on 02/27/2020 11:03:51 AM PST by jstolzen

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.

..more at link. (Sorry for forgetting the link last time!)

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.

So Bezos is behind this.

Nearly 7,000 travelers in CA asked to monitor, isolate themselves: Federal officials suggested to more than 6,700 travelers who have returned to California after Feb. 2 from China, outside of Hubei Province, to “monitor their health, stay home and limit interactions with others as much as possible,” California Department of Public Health officials said.

Might as well stay home since we don’t have any tests that work.

Woodpile report re CDC:

Only three of the more than 100 public health labs across the country have verified the CDC test for use . It means no one has been tested for this coronavirus in forty-seven states. The kits CDC distributed are flawed. and none have yet been replaced.

What are the real numbers of coronavirus cases in the US?

As we say around here, “you can’t find what you’re not looking for”.

Only three US states can test for coronavirus, says public lab group

PUBLISHED FRI, FEB 21 20201:04 PM EST:

California, Nebraska and Illinois are the only U.S. states that can currently test for coronavirus, the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) told Reuters on Friday.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) last week said some of the testing kits sent to U.S. states and at least 30 countries produced “inconclusive” results due to a flawed component.

The CDC planned to send replacement materials to make the kits work.

So I, Grampa Dave, keep asking when we are told about results of coronavirus tests, “Who did the tests and what tests did they use?”

Yep- Those were scary times- My school days were after that period- but i remember folks talking about the outbreak back then- and about their friends getting struck down by it- One of my teachers, and a classmate had polio- and had to use those polio crutches that strapped to the arms- and the girl in class could walk, but dragged her feets when she ran- but she was a tough girl-

Well, he does kind of resemble a phlegm ball.

Or maybe last nights press conference was done because all this was going to be breaking news today. Trump for the score ahead of the curve.

I think it is legit that they asked 700+ people to isolate. There’s a few cities in America that if it gets loose in it will be a SHTF time. New York, LA, Chicago, Miami, San Fran, Portland...oddly they are all democrat bastions. It would be wise not let your own political bias cloud the strategic concerns of keeping our country safe.

Ahem...

Joe Biden is still in this, so you have to use the word EXPODENTIAL.

You don't want Joe to think he's losing it, do you?

May I re-quote you? That sure looks like bias to me without consideration at all to logistics and prevention.

Have a great day and stay healthy.

Nobody is saying don’t be prepared....but if there were 700 cases in Ny I still wouldn’t do anything other than what I’ve currently done.

You assume too much....you cannot deny that the Dems aren't using this politically... Shall I quote Nancy and others?
Protecting ourselves is common sense..and no I don't stay tuned to every article or logistics.....it doesn't change my preparation one iota.

Probably from flights returning from high-risk parts of China?
