Covid-19

[Devildoc]

Emergency services telecom (i.e., 911) are training to telephone triage symptoms, travel history, etc. The first level will be quarantine at home. Public health and local medical centers are talking about 'medical response teams' to do home health visits for people who hit high probability indices. They are gearing up to prevent a flood to the ED (for most people).

Travel restrictions are racist. Funeral pyres are not.

Try explaining that to the MSM sheeple. When the clock swings the other way it's gonna get ugly for everyone.

While the numbers are small, the US saw a 10+% increase in the last 24 hours, and our 1st death.
The media should start blaming Trump for not closing the borders fast enough.

I just ordered 184 cans of Chunky soup and 48 cartons of crackers. I should be good for a couple of days.

Your soup to cracker ratio is concerning for a new Mod. I may need to rethink my vote.

You may be right. I may have ordered too much soup to go with my crackers.

The mod we deserve can eat all those crackers in one sitting.....

So this is not good. I'm not seeing any information on how it got there in the first place.

So Walmart is OUT of soup. I'm only getting 80 cans of the 184 I ordered. I looked and they're sold out of everything.

The CDC doesn't currently have a working test for the CV so there is no telling how many cases the US actually has atm.

Can you elaborate? It's not hard to diagnose COVID-19...lab tests, CT imaging... The FDA is actually bypassing normal channels with EUAs to give more labs approval for testing. I think there are, or shortly will be, 40 labs in the US for testing.

Something about this whole issue stinks.
Did China over react? if so why?
Our numbers are not as drastic (could change) but everyone acts like the Black Death has re-emerged.

Facts just are not adding up for me.

We have a campus in China, a few hours from Wuhan. Our people are about as engaged as any group of people can be. Not for circulation, after a working group about CODIV-19, some of our folks were complaining--rightfully so--that China has engaged in so much misinformation, regardless of reason, that you cannot make any logical conclusions about what is happening. The people saying this are people in leadership with ties to leadership in China, and we are so frustrated that we simply stopped believing what China is putting out.

There are a few reasons to be concerned (but not panic): it seems to be highly virulent, it goes from 'meh' to bad quickly, and it does not follow epidemiological modeling.

I would expect our numbers to climb (no reason to think it won't), so we'll have a better grasp in a few weeks.

FWIW, and I tell this to people: I have access to literally thousands of N95 masks; I have not picked up a single mask, nor have I changed plans to take my family to NYC on vacation for 5 days in May.
