Nashville Metro Health investigating possible cluster of coronavirus cases at Tyson plant

Nashville Metro Public Health Department is investigating a possible cluster of coronavirus cases at the Tyson Foods plant in Goodlettsville, according to an email from Metro Public Health Department Public Information officer Brian Todd.

Goodlettsville is about 14 miles north of Nashville.

Todd told CNN in a statement that no further information regarding the investigation or number of cases could be released at this time.

I looked up exactly what the 2 covidiots were served for breaking quarantine. Police served them with a Form 22 issued by the Medical Officer of Health. Under the Health and Protection and Promotion Act. To enforce quarantine. 5,000 fine each time they are found leaving the house. Good!

Tonight on her show, Martha McCallum asked Dr. Fauci about this, and she raised the concern of discrimination against those who can't get an immunity card. And she mentioned that some people might try to get COVID-19 just to get the immunity card and get a job.

Especially if there isn't a proven antibody test - one that the world is aware of. Is it a real antibody test and how does it work? Does it give someone a bit of the virus to see whether they have antibodies to fight it?

As for trying to get sick to get a hall pass, I could see that being a problem not only for people who want to work, but also with people who do not want to work, and don't have to stay home.

Even though most countries knew in early January that China had an out of control epidemic, most countries did not react until they discovered that they too could not contain the spread. Then it was a pandemic and every country is behind the 8 ball today. No one was prepared, no one has an excuse.

My own opinion, again being mainly ignorant of anything medical, is kind of a straight shot.

Chinese wet markets are an exceedingly common vector for transmitting disease. The types of animals that are freshly butchered there carry these viruses, and occasionally the viruses leap into the human population. Perhaps by proximity, perhaps by consumption.

Then the Chinese government, being an autocratic government with control of the press and disregard for human rights, clamped down on the good doctor who first noticed the trend and warned a few others. The government wanted this concealed.

Had they acted immediately when the virus was first percolating in Wuhan, there would not have been a global pandemic. This situation was also exacerbated by the fact that the Lunar New Year occurred around that time, resulting in many people from Wuhan traveling worldwide before that was halted.

Even the European strain that is dominant here on the East Coast of America was allegedly brought to Europe from Singapore, by people who traveled for the Lunar New Year.

JMO IMO JMO IMO but I only blame the Chinese government. I do not blame the people working in the wet markets, as they were only trying to earn a living and I doubt they were up to date on a new virus.

''South Korean officials on Friday reported that 91 patients thought cleared of the new coronavirus had tested positive again.

Jeong Eun-kyeong, director of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC), told a briefing that the virus may have been "reactivated" rather than the patients being re-infected.

South Korean health officials said it remains unclear what is behind the trend, with epidemiological investigations still underway.

The prospect of people being re-infected with the virus is of international concern, as many countries are hoping that infected populations will develop sufficient immunity to prevent a resurgence of the pandemic.''

Reactivated virus is interesting. That means people get sick enough to test sick, get better, test negative twice, and not long after, the virus again is strong enough to attack and trigger another immune response in us.

That's scary - good reason to stay home for 24 months - except for the very strong who maybe catch it early first round and in the second wave, getting the weaker infection?

Write a holograph Will (handwritten, date, location, signed, no witness) just in case. The virus seems to hit fast.

Blood tests show 14% of people are now immune to covid-19 in one town in Germany

https://www.land.nrw/sites/default/...chenergebnis_covid19_case_study_gangelt_0.pdf

"An existing immunity of approx. 14% (anti-SARS-CoV2 IgG positive, specificity of the method>, 99%) was found. About 2% of the people had a current SARS-CoV-2 infection determined using the PCR method. The overall infection rate (current infection or already gone through) was approximately 15%. The mortality rate (case fatality rate) based on the total number of infected people in the community of Gangelt is approx. 0.37% with the preliminary data from this study. "
[google translate of German to English]

"The presence of previously infected people in the community, Streeck and colleagues believe, will reduce the speed at which the virus can move in the area. They also outline a process by which social distancing can be slowly unwound, especially given hygienic measures, like handwashing, and isolating and tracking the sick. They think if people avoid getting big doses of the virus—which can happen in hospitals or via close contact with someone infected—fewer people will become severely ill, “while at the same time developing immunity” that can help finally end the outbreak."

Germany's strategy makes sense to develop "herd immunity" (60% of the population with immunity from exposure) especially if a vaccine is still many months away.

Older and more vulnerable populations need to be protected from the virus. This will happen once they get a vaccine. In the meantime... if they can lessen the impact in anyway possible, on the general population that is helpful, too.

Interesting approach. Aim for lower doses of the virus, lower transmission of the virus, isolating sick, protect vulnerable. Makes sense.

Some claim that European people with ancestors who survived the bubonic plague have more immunity. That's not apparent in the death rate in the EU, but anything is possible.

It's interesting that England had the wherewithal to begin isolating people in 1665. Isolation is the crux of a successful quarantine. Isolation was used in Eyam which is a rural British village to save the lives of its people in 1665.
The Delta 32 gene is a mutation that appeared to protect people in Eyam from the plague. Interestingly, people with the Delta 32 mutation are resistant to HIV.

Act sooner, and perhaps respond appropriately to information sooner. For example, was it a good idea to keep borders open when the virus was isolated to Wuhan? Was it a good idea to delay calling it a pandemic when the spread exceeded WHO of a pandemic (see: community transmission in two WHO regions).

The Chinese New Year seemed to go on for 2 weeks this year. Everyone knew that was a weak point for spread.

A New York police sergeant made a surprising discovery when he pulled over a speeding car just before midnight on the Staten Island Expressway: a woman in the middle of giving birth.

Sgt. Anthony Delmonte, a former EMT and paramedic, sprung into action after seeing the newborn's head crowning.

"When I saw the crowning I said, 'This is happening now,'" Delmonte told ABC News.

The woman and her husband, who was driving, were heading eastbound on the expressway trying to make it to the hospital late Thursday.

"They were not gonna wait until they got to the hospital," Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said Friday in a daily briefing on Twitter. "At least the baby wasn't gonna wait."

The commissioner said the baby was safely delivered in the car.

"You could hear the doctors and nurses cry out at the sight of a newborn baby."

"Cheering to have something good to root for in this time," he said, referring to the novel coronavirus pandemic that has claimed the lives of at least 97,200 in the world and at least 16,703 people in the United States. "In every dark day, there's always light."

That's really fascinating! Thank you. So it seems that it was a survival of the fittest, and those with this unique mutation survived and passed down this mutation to their descendants.

Yes, isolation is the key. Since they didn't know at the time that the plague was carried by the fleas traveling on rats, isolating them kept them further away from each other as well as fewer rats in their vicinity.
How vulnerable we really are as humankind. Bacterial plagues that killed them then, respiratory and hemorrhagic plagues that kill us now.

I'd never heard of the Delta 32 mutation. That's why I love Websleuths. The things we learn from one another!
You're a nurse....stay healthy...thank you for all you do.

A friend of ours here in Ohio was tested. He was told negative results are 70% accurate while positive results are 98%.
 
Crowley LA police use "Purge" siren to signal curfew for city, says it won't happen again (katc.com)

Police say they received mixed reaction from the public following the alarm. Crowley, Louisiana, police chief Jimmy Broussard tells us he had no idea the siren was the alarm sound from the successful film franchise with "The Purge." He also tells us he doesn't plan on using any type of siren moving forward.

"The Purge" is a horror film that depicts a time in America when a national holiday is celebrated (The Purge) in which all crimes, including murder are legal for a 12-hour period. When the 12-hour period begins, sirens begin to blare and all emergency services are unavailable.
