Governor @GavinNewsom announced that @capublichealth officials have updated policy on gatherings to slow the spread of #COVID19.
Gatherings of 250 people or more should be rescheduled or cancelled in California at least through the end of March.

I’m failing to understand his magical 250 number.

Trump says it would have taken too long to tell European leaders about new travel restrictions

“We get along very well with European leaders, but we had to make a decision and I didn’t want to take time and, you know, it takes a long time make the individual calls and we are calling and we had spoken to some of them prior to (the announcement),” he said.

The President also suggested the lack of communication was justified because European countries don’t inform him when they raise taxes on the US.

“But we had to move quickly. I mean, when they raise taxes on us, they don’t consult us and I think that’s probably one in the same,” he continued.

As I stated prior we will not be travelling anywhere until there is a safe and proven vaccine. We like to relax on vaycay and I don't want the headaches of worrying about getting infected.

Or never being able to return home!

I'm confused that China is now sending medical supplies to other countries when not that long ago other countries were sending to them. Did they just make them really, really fast?

@margarita25, here is link to Popular Science magazine formulation/s based on the WHO formulation guidelines. The article also links back to the WHO guidelines. The WHO recipe is for a very large batch and so Popular Science just scaled it down for consumer use.

I followed the Popular Science gel recipe and had no issues making it. The consistency is a bit thinner than Purell so know that upfront. The recipe requires whisking or shaking for 5 min or so, but the formula came together beautifully IMO and a quick shake of the bottle before using is working fine.

Trump says it would have taken too long to tell European leaders about new travel restrictions

President Trump suggested Thursday that he didn’t consult European leaders before announcing US travel restrictions on 26 European countries related to novel coronavirus because it would have taken too long.

“We get along very well with European leaders, but we had to make a decision and I didn’t want to take time and, you know, it takes a long time make the individual calls and we are calling and we had spoken to some of them prior to (the announcement),” he said.

The President also suggested the lack of communication was justified because European countries don’t inform him when they raise taxes on the US.

“But we had to move quickly. I mean, when they raise taxes on us, they don’t consult us and I think that’s probably one in the same,” he continued.

Dear Presidents,

The University System of Georgia is consulting constantly with the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) and the Governor’s Coronavirus Task Force. DPH has advised that the risk of contracting the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Georgia remains low.

Therefore, all 26 USG institutions will remain open for face-to-face education at this time.

For those of you, or anyone on your campus who may be traveling, please make sure they remain in regular contact with your campus for operational updates.

Student with coronavirus in UNMC biocontainment, serious condition

 

[Trudie]

So this morning I got a dm from my daughter in Osaka. She was exposed to the virus. Now she has to submit a daily health report until March 19.

I asked her if she will be tested but forgot that it's now 2 am there.

We have thousands of people in my area phoning their temp’ in. None qualify for testing but thru contact chain investigation, they are assumed to have it. Moo

Yes, China has ramped up production of medical supplies.

people are starting to go into panic mode where I work. Other local schools are starting to close. Maybe a benefit of shutting down is to give people a chance to calm down a bit since they can be at home. I don’t know, this is just getting chaotic.

 

[zecats]

(I recommend intermittent naps during all this. Moo. See y’all in a bit.)

And outdoor walks. The fresh air and birds chirping works wonders. (Guess that depends on where each one lives.) Walk indoors if needed. My kitchen - dining room-living room make a good loop.

Take care of yourself most importantly. You can't help anyone if you yourself go down. xo

this is where I think the US missed the bus. Why are schools still in session? I expect many won’t be much longer. At least around my neck of the woods.

Wuhan has already been longer. :/

how long has it been now?

Virginia sees 6 new cases, now has 15 ‘presumptive positive’ coronavirus cases

JMO
Regarding the testing:
Until the CDC gets out of the way and stops being a bottleneck, the US will never get the adequate testing needed. This whole "presumptive positive" and send back to the CDC for confirmation is a huge bottleneck and is absurd.

States and hospitals need a test they can administer themselves and get a "YES" or "NO" result. Period. There should be no sending back anything to the CDC except the reporting of the result.

I am flabbergasted the states are still having to have CDC be part of the testing process.

The CDC needs to admit they failed and start buying bulk tests from overseas. This is beyond ridiculous. And there is no more time to waiste. Good Grief.

"These cases are “presumptively positive,” meaning they are pending confirmatory testing by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)."

There are so many people in China, I bet they can do anything quickly. I'm glad they are stepping in to help. A positive I see - a spirit of global empathy and assistance.

Push the vacuum as you walk.
Getting outside is the best thing, imo. Luckily I have no houses near my farm, I can visit my neighbor, but it is a walk, lol. My nearest neighbors are chain smokers, always sick, they both have pneumonia every year, she’s has copd & uses oxygen, so I really am avoiding both, I fear they will cough at me. I see him when I do an evening walk, but I’m staying away.
