Woman had traveled to Wuhan. Had been fairly isolated except for seeking medical treatment twice.

Damn, I had a $5 bet that dysentery and plague would break out first. Lost that one.

Same story each time.

"The woman has been at home since, except for two times to seek medical care ..."

So, no interaction with anyone with the airline or the passengers? No interaction with family or friends? Did she take a taxi, Uber, public transportation to her current location? What about to her two times to seek medical care? Who drove her then?

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.

Na Na Na Nine Coronas. Viruses that is.

Is it true that so far, all of the victims are Asian? I read that at a couple of different websites. That would be weird, but it is true that different races are more susceptible to some ailments.

I also posted this question on another thread about the virus, because I really want to see if we can find out if it is true. Even those who are said to be students at a foreign university are said to be Chinese.

This crap is going to kill us before CLIMATE CHANGE. Right, Greta? Can you stave it off a couple of years? You’re too legit to quit, eugenicist preparing the battlefield.

I thought the 9th case was in Boston?

[Jack Hammer]

This whole thing could get real bad in a hurry.

One thing about living in Santa Clara I never could stomach: all the damned coronaviruses!

I think there was almost 3,000 Chinese that flew into San Francisco between Dec 30 and Jan 20. Makes sense it’s gonna hit out there.

[blueplum]

I’ll say it again. Locate all passengers who flew in from China and quarantine them. These guys say they have ‘self-isolated’ so they suspected themselves, but they really haven’t self-isolated. I appreciate they escaped to America because they probably felt their chances to live were better here, but they didn’t immediately report themselves. So, find them all and detain them all for 2 weeks. We have passport records from Customs - so do it.

Woman traveled FROM Wuhan to ‘visit’ relatives. She was not a resident of the county - maybe not a citizen either. Arrived Jan 23 - the day Wuhan locked down. And almost certainly thru SFO. Santa Clara county is big - area includes Sunnyvale, to Travis AFB (Gilroy) to San Jose.

Makes one wonder if some of these ‘visitors’ are intentional trojan horses or just selfish people escaping lockdown thinking their chances were better in the US and not caring about infecting anyone. But if they are low-income, low education selfish ppl, how’d they get the money to travel?
