California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Thursday that 33 people have tested positive for COVID-19 and the state is currently monitoring at least 8,400 others —a day after U.S. health officials confirmed the first possible community transmission of the coronavirus in a Solano County resident.

The MSM is really really hoping for a crisis.
Really.
And they already have prepared scripts blaming Trump.
Really.
There will mostly never be serious consequences to Dims....

I a watching the whole Water issue there as they are in my view trying to steal the land in the Central Valley by depriving the farms of water and still hoping to build the train path between So Cal and SF which in truth nobody wants!
Trump is riding them hard and a lot of things are being exposed like the agreement between Ca and Ukraine as a Mutual Defense Agreement, a clear violation of Federal Law
He had to get his snout in the camera lenses somehow. makes ya wonder who’s the bigger threat really is.
Probably pulled a number like the population size of a Sonoma area town.
One resident can now qualify large geographic areas as suspect if he or she exhibits symptoms.
Welcome to Mass Quarantinofornia .. Sanctuary State in rapid decline.
Let’s just go ahead and announce that all 330 million Americans have the Coronavirus and really get the panic train going where we need it to be. Let’s just stop dinking around here.
How are they monitoring anyone if the CDC tests are not there yet?
CDC Has Fixed Issue Delaying Coronavirus Testing In U.S., Health Officials Say

Federal health officials say they have resolved a problem that has hindered wide testing for the new coronavirus in the United States, a crucial practice for fighting the spread of the dangerous new infection.
A problem with one ingredient in test kits that the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention distributed to labs around the country had created a frustrating bottleneck in testing, requiring most testing to occur at the CDC in Atlanta.
On Wednesday night, the CDC announced a new case of the COVID-19 disease in California that could represent the first U.S. case of the virus spreading within the general population. That diagnosis was delayed because testing wasn’t done immediately.

But the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration informed state officials late Wednesday that the agencies have resolved the problem with the test kits.
“The FDA has authorized the use of those tests by using just the first and second step to provide a definitive diagnostic,” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said during a congressional hearing Thursday.
Forty labs — local and state public health labs as well as select department of defense labs — across the U.S. are already authorized to start using the modified test, and all 93 labs should be able to start testing by next week, Azar said.
The move was welcomed by public health officials, who have been frustrated by the testing snag.
“It’s really good news,” says Kelly Wroblewski, director of infectious diseases for the Association of Public Health Laboratories, which represents public health labs around the United States. “Testing is incredibly important.”
Without wide-scale testing, she says, there’s no way to know if the virus is spreading silently.
“This is a critical time,” Wroblewski says. “We don’t think it’s spreading very widely yet, but if you’re not looking for something, you won’t find it.”
Cases could go undiagnosed, delaying treatment and allowing infected people to spread the virus to others, she says.
“Once you know that it’s there, you can take appropriate steps to encourage people who might have the disease to stay home — to self-quarantine. You would probably go ahead and test their family members to see if their close contacts have also got the disease,” she says. “You can maybe limit the spread if you catch it early.”
Frustrated by the problems with the CDC kits, the association had asked the FDA to allow individual states to develop and use their own tests. But Wroblewski says the resolution of the problem with the CDC will hopefully make that unnecessary
“Having these additional laboratories on board and ready to test is going to put us in a much, much better position to respond,” Wroblewski says.
Still no definite word on when the labs will get the new improved test!
If the market crashes and the dems win, then we will have civil war fot certain.
Right on cue.
It’s exactly what is going on. With Coronavirus you get a cold. The more “dangerous” strain COVID-19 has a 1% fatality rate. Just walking through any leftist run city has a 50% fatality rate and all of sudden liberals are concerned about a 1% fatality rate? And not only that, all of a sudden they are concerned about what comes into the country? It’s all BS. They see what it’s doing to the stock market so they are playing this up for all they got. It’s hoax #3. Russian collusion hoax, phone call hoax and now virus hoax.
Civil war coming.
In 2017 alone, 219 million people caught malaria and 435,000 people died of the disease yet we barely bat an eye, offer no real help to those suffering.
The Trump hating media and Dem’s are already doing it.
well, how about FR, it’s been going on for weeks. You’ll still find fools here repeating CCP data and acting like they’re epidemeologists who actually know stuff.
“What happens if the virus starts rampaging through the homeless communities?”
How will medical people be able to verify that the Corona Virus is at home in the homeless communities.
If so where will they put the infected ones?
Agree with you. Help me by counter-posting.
2019-2020 U.S. flu season statistics (so far):
29,000,000/280,000/16,000/200
Cases/hospitalized/deaths/children deaths
Yet we are supposed to bring this country to a full stop over am very mild virus?
.
It is still only Febuary.
Building it up early.
Quite the opposite. Bernie or whoever will give them Medals of Honor.
Why don’t you go somewhere else with your silly civil war rants!? Nobody wants civil war except the crazies.
