Coronavirus crackdown? Seattle-area official outlines possible next steps
The Seattle Times ^ | March 10th, 2020 | By Daniel Beekman

Seattle area public-health officials are “at the ready” to start ordering involuntary isolation and quarantines and are considering cancellation of major public events, with information coming soon, a top official said Monday.

Patty Hayes, director of Public Health — Seattle & King County, outlined potential next steps in the area’s effort to slow the spread of the virus at a Seattle City Council meeting and said officials are talking about what to do.

Hayes shared a Washington State Department of Health chart that listed five levels of actions that officials could take. Gov. Jay Inslee hinted at the ongoing discussions Sunday on the CBS show “Face the Nation,” saying the state’s response could involve “reducing the number of social activities that are going on.”

Although King County’s first confirmed COVID-19 case was announced less than two weeks ago, the area’s response already has ratcheted through Level 1 and Level 2.

If this hits the streets and homeless camps, it could explode in them.

Glad Seattle has been so favorable to those people. It will be interesting to see how that problem will be “managed”.

2.3 million people and not a good one among them?

Is that the new mantra of the Flu Bros?

I think the main thing to do is to safeguard the over 60 and immune-impaired.

Within weeks probably 50 million people will have been exposed.

Older folks in the Seattle and Westchester areas need to buy their food and shelter at home.

The government should try to distribute nitrile gloves and alcohol wipes to vulnerable households.

Before going to a grocery store a sink full of soap water should be made ready to wash off purchased fruit and dairy.

An older person should put one pair of gloves on when going inside a store and take them off after loading groceries into their car. An alcohol pad should be used to wipe off their payment card after using it.

The older person should put on another pair for unloading.

Ordinary groceries should not be put away but say left in the living room for say ten days.

Fruit, bread wrapping and daily/meat containers should be washed off using the soapy water.

Alcohol pads should be used to wipe off door handles.

Most infected people under age 50 will probably feel like they got a cold.

It’s the older folks that need worry.

WELL guess what? If that’s the standard these folks live with...…..??? GO WALLOW in it!

Kind of late in the Game to start questioning Mantra’s.

Certainly not concentration camps.

People over 60 like me will simply stay home for weeks at a times.

When my local hospitals start getting COVID-19 patients, I’ll begin staying at home.

The flu this year has infected millions and killed thousands but let’s all get panicky about COVID-19 that doesn’t appear to cause as high a mortality rate.

As of last week the number of cases in WA State was 45 with many of those brought in under quarantine from a cruise ship.

The number of deaths is about 10 with 7 coming from a nursing home. The other deaths were elderly persons with prior conditions.

The number of elderly dying from influenza is higher.

WA State and its deep blue democrat government is following California in hyping the corona infections ostensibly for demanding federal healthcare dollars to offset the lost revenues from defying federal law enforcement with sanctuary city policies.

I am convinced it’s all about the dollars.

One of the very first known corona infected persons was in Seattle and now is locally reported on backpages to have fully recovered. You never hear about the recoveries in the fake news media.

The corona virus as well as influenza virus can be treated very well without vaccines. I have grown to heavily suspect the vaccine industry.. I don’t trust them anymore.

Here is a list of items that can nip in the bud a virus infection:

1. Osha Root Tincture - Known Use: Used to treat bacterial and viral respiratory infections including the flu, colds, sinus infection, H1N1 Influenza A, pneumonia, bronchitis, sore throat, cough

2. Oscillococcinum (take as soon as symptoms appear; provides immediate relief)

3. Bleach, of course

4. Colloidal Silver (take as soon as symptoms appear)

5. Sodium Ascorbate (salt form of Vit C, much better absorbed)

The above list is not posted for those in a panic. These items are good to stock regardless of the current “we’re all going to die” group think hysteria.

To listen to a real scientist who knows the realities, the personalities, the practicalities, listen to the following.
