Family of Missouri's first coronavirus patient broke self quarantine, St. Louis County officials say
St. Louis Today ^

Posted on 03/08/2020 8:40:02 PM PDT by TigerClaws

Villa Duchesne and Oak Hill School will close Monday after administrators learned that a St. Louis County woman infected with the coronavirus is the older sister of a Villa Duchesne student.

Moreover, a message from the schools to parents, circulating on social media, warns that the father and sister of the infected patient attended a school father-daughter dance Saturday night at the Ritz-Carlton in Clayton. They also apparently attended a pre-dance gathering at the house of a Villa student.

St. Louis County Executive Sam Page said Sunday that the patient’s family had been told on Thursday to self quarantine at their home in Ladue. Page said the patient’s father had not followed health department instructions. Page spoke at a news conference Sunday evening.

County health officials told the man on Sunday, Page said, “that he must remain in his home or they will issue a formal quarantine that will require him and the rest of his family to stay in their home by the force of law.”

The government will have to go full China if they want to contain it in any way. "full China"

Shut down the entire company for 2 months (and counting). Ban all large public gatherings. Lock down and prevent travel in and out of infected areas with armed guards. Institute mandatory housebound quarantines in infected areas. Spray disinfect on every square inch of public streets and buildings. Build or procure victim centers and warehouse the infected so the infected don't go to regular hospitals and infect the staff.

I'm sure I've missed some steps but that's what I know off the top of my head.

That's not going to happen (all of those). It did not happen in the Spanish Influenza. It won't happen now.

The federal government can't do that anyways. Would the President declare martial law?

After reading all the comments on this post it seems life is not quite as dignified on FR as I would have thought.

Have we been infiltrated by some Bernie Bro’s?

There is a lot of numbers being thrown around concerning this virus.
Where do those numbers come from?
I have close friends in the Philippines, Brazil, and Mexico.
The CDC is full of liars and manipulators. Why do we suddenly believe everything they say when we know how much they lie about guns and gun deaths. They are part of the swamp.
The WHO (World Health Organization) are globalist liars who hate the United States. I know from first hand accounts how much they lie about disease in third world countries to make their numbers look good or bad depending on the situation to benefit them.

I have no doubt this virus is serious just like other ones before, but I’ve also been around long enough to read the tea leaves.

Communists are preying (spelling on purpose) hoping our economy will take a dive specifically to oust Trump and continue their rein of back door terror raping and pillaging the American people.

My prediction is the public at large will move on due to the spring fever getting people doing activities rather than sitting around regurgitating the main stream media (propaganda machine) talking points and hysteria.

Fool me once............

P.S. China? We are gonna believe anything from China?
I wonder if China would kill its own citizens for political gain?
I have no idea exactly what to think as I’m not a biologist, doctor, scientist or a prophet but I know every couple of years it’s some new thing that the progressives use to push panic and steal liberty......

Read between the lines in this thread for proof.

I don't think it will happen either. But the point is that China is doing all that and the infection is still spreading though not as fast as it was initially. Without those measures basically it's out of control. I have no idea what can or can't be done under martial law or what the regulations are for federal health emergency.

"I do know I’d be looking for the meanest, most vicious civil-suit lawyer I could get and go after that man if someone I loved fell seriously ill or died because of his abject carelessness and lack of caring for the general health of the community."

The guy is probably a mindless idiot and doesn't have two nickles to rub together...

Re: I guess this guy decided since his kid had it he was going to make sure all the other kids and their parents had it too.

Sounds like "Typhoid Mary 2.0 - BUT with A WILLY!!!!"

Re: So dozens have been potentially exposed to the virus. If we’re lucky, no one was, but the man should be horsewhipped.

I agree! These people are not "Boomers" or "Generation X-ers". They are a$$holes and need to be treated as such!!!!

He’s got one daughter off in Italy and one at a pretty fancy Catholic school. He’s probably good for quite a few nickels...

It’s times like this that I am really glad my nearest neighbor is 3 miles away; got everything here on the farm and in the pantry to ride out everything for about 6 months.

That’s what they said in the boondocks of Kansas back in 1918.

Yeah; and they still got the flu, but I don’t need to go into town for any reason.
Haven’t had any visitors to the farm in the last 18 months.

Next Mining Council meeting isn’t till May of this year,
so I still have awhile to see how it goes out there.
