(Apologies for forgetting the link last time)..

This is surprising..how in the world did anyone even determine there were 700 people that needed to self-isolate - and why?

Some big gaps in the reporting here, but still..

[ifinnegan]

Nothing changed, just a decision to grandstand.

The self isolation for people who’ve been to China or otherwise may have had opportunity for expisure has been going on for a month or more.

Are they knocking on doors?

“Pardon us madam, but a neighbor is being treated for the Coronavirus, so for an ‘abundance of caution’ we’re asking you to inconvenience yourselves for the ‘greater good.’”

Sounds like sales calls I get at work: “We’ve talked to your supervisor, Mr. B (that matches the public directory), and he thought it would be a good idea to talk to you about....”

[CharlesWayneCT]

We are really getting hounded by that stupid remark by the apparently untrained-in-public-relations person who said “it is not a case of if, but when”. That is the ONLY quote I see from the administration in every single article.

Wish everyone would just breathe and settle down!

Ummm..when did SEVEN HUNDRED PLUS people suddenly pop up as needing to self-isolate?! And how did anyone determine they NEEDED to self-isolate?

What in the heck?...

Here we go. There’s going to be forced quarantines like in China. I think this is overblown but the panic will cause shortages and delays. This sucks.

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

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

And that’s gonna be the problem IF this virus erupts and people begin getting infected- in schools, workplaces, people taking vacations, etc— people will refuse to isolate themselves- just like that nurse in Maine who was thought to have been exposed to Ebola who refused to be quarantined-

[Williams]

I’m following the markets and news coverage. 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.

Cornell University issues new guidelines for Cornell-related travel

“This comes after a couple of people tested negative for the virus in the campus community after experiencing symptoms.”

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.

They love this line

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?”

[EBH]

I think we need a map for just the United States and stop worrying about the rest of the world.

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.

[caww]

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

[Leep]

Schummer’s friends and family?

[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!

[Leep]

Hmmm...If you don't want anyone to bother you.

[FreeReign]

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
