Coronavirus COVID-19 *Global Health Emergency* #10

Does anyone else on the thread have a compromised immune system? Now that we have a couple of cases in Oregon I told my husband I wasn't leaving the house.

"Human error" keeps confounding all the progress.

Well, that and ignorance and stupidity

I so agree.

Yes. I am in the at risk category.

Respectfully, regarding the polls related to this global virus, it seems that all the questions relate to the USA.

I spent time and effort putting together the poll questions. Yes, I kept it specific and limited to the United States. I'm sorry if you feel my submission wasn't satisfactory.

I am in Oregon and my family is self isolating for a few weeks. Asthma runs in our family

History can judge whether calling it a pandemic or not etc. is right or wrong, says fiery @DrMikeRyan. "We cannot miss this opportunity to save lives", he says. “Let's just get on with it.”

MOO, but I think the response in the USA has been delayed and info suppressed. I can remember with other health care worries, the CDC had regular updates and lots of info. I'm afraid that we have reacted too much like China. This is my opinion and as @Inthedetails has stated "Before you pounce, please wash your hands" and for goodness sake, don't breathe on me.

I just called in to listen to the CDC presser. They took time to get my name with an operator even though I didn't go in through the media line. Just a heads up for those that want to listen live as starts in 3 minutes

That's one reason I don't believe in conspiracy theories - people always bungle and mess things up. LOL and also serious at the same time.

WOW!!!!! Thank you for this interruption.

Yes. I am in the at risk category.

I have gloves and masks but now I'm wishing I could order hazmat suits. In all seriousness, I worry most about my son bringing it home than anything else. He's in high school and works at a large department store. I asked him last night if they had addressed it at work and to my surprise, he said no.

The below article illustrates the many positive cases sitting in limbo waiting for CDC to confirm:
This past Sunday morning a patient at Doctor's
Hospital in Sarasota, Fl. overheard a medical
person and a volunteer discussing a positive
virus patient in their hospital. the patient listened quietly but then quickly called her family and warned them not to come visit.
Apparently word leaked out to other patients
during the day and finally later sunday Hospital Administrators brought around a letter to each patient admitting that there was
in fact a positive patient in isolation in the hospital but they couldn't publicize it until CDC
releases the information. This is a new case not mentioned by Fl. Gov. on Sunday.
Seems there's quite a backlog of positive cases
being held up by CDC.
Letter was also released on FB.
Officials: Patient ‘presumptively tested positive’ for COVID-19 at Sarasota hospital

I'm so sick of hospital admin's being worried that they will lose business if people think there's a patient with a communicable disease there. I had to deal with that during the AIDS era. If the patient tested positive, then there's no doubt unless they are awaiting CDC confirmation. This is what I've experienced and MOO.

My first priority if my family has to be stuck inside for 2 weeks is to upgrade our Netflix membership to allow more than 2 active viewers at a time. LOL!

Thanks! Since following this thread, I've not got time to follow cases except for the "media only" threads for each so as to save time and focus here. This is the MSM for that case thread CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, Lorson Ranch, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020*MEDIA MAPS TIMELINE*

Is there a link to listen in?

I'm hearing on the news that the containment stage is over. China did its best, but it didn't work. It has spread around the world. A pandemic is inevitable.

 

[dixiegirl1035]

WHOA. CDC Presser just started, the guy came online and said post phoned. No Bat date, no Bat time for the future presser. Hmmmmm

ETA: Saw above post.. no, there are not live online, just through calling in. FYI for the future @californiagem

THIS....

Don’t underestimate the steps countries like China have undertaken to help curb the spread of Coronavirus. Which countries are willing to also take such steps?
