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.

“Like, Doc, you are LITERALLY right!”

ABSOLUTELY! I would hate to think I’m literally blowing this thing out of proportion.

Folks. This is old news, now presented as new news after the Trump press conference.

There are thousands who are self quarantined, they are in almost every state, and this was covered weeks ago.

Thousands of Americans voluntarily self-quarantine after returning from China

...but if there were 700 cases in Ny I still wouldn’t do anything other than what I’ve currently done.

There are zero cases in NY.

Ebola is a bloodborne pathogen, and not contagious without direct contact with bloody fluids.

The coronavirus is a respiratory virus, transmissible through respiratory secretions, which may be on surfaces or in sprays from coughs and sneezes.

There was never a chance that Ebola would become a pandemic or anything other than a regional outbreak in Africa (due to customs that only exist in Africa).

The coronavirus has several properties of a pandemic virus. Whether it proceeds to become one depends on the efficacy of containment measures.

The Democrats have gotten the fear and panic they have been fomenting. It’s like deja vu.

“The markets were recovering for a few hours, and you can feel all the networks pulling them back down again with panic reports. That includes Fox Business.”

That’s exactly what happened. The rats are loving this. They’ve been wanting to tank Trump’s economy. The media is more than willing to assist China in the effort.
