It’s already here. The people who have it have already been to grocery stores, pharmacies, etc

Will Fireball kill it? Because I'm DRINKING TONIGHT

Well no. The whiskey didn’t work for the guy on the link provided.

I am happy to be the control case of the family who has done nothing to prepare, nothing to prevent, and has just gone about life as usual. So far, so good.

They all came from the same cruise and were tested yesterday after CDC notified of potential exposure.

Plausible: they were on the prior sailing of the Grand Princess

Why would CDC just tell them now, weeks later, about potential exposure?

The CDC has completely screwed up.

I'm not understanding how they became potential exposures so late. Wouldn't everyone on the first trip of that ship have potential exposure?

Sounds like it only became apparent there was a problem with that ship on Wednesday --

A co-worker went on a trip to Korea, came back last week and showed up in the office last Friday. The people were in shock.

She is not Asian, BTW.

I mean she has to work, right? She’s not sick.

I totally agree. WTF is wrong with our country. We should have been out in front of this. Frankly, the whole nation should be in quarantine right now to have any chance at slowing this down. Feels like the government isn’t taking this seriously at all.

South Korea did a terrible job until it was too late...

I suggest you read the accounts of young people who developed it in Wuhan China. It made a flu sound like a walk in the park. Bad chest cold is now how it is in some people. The 80% have mild colds may or may not be accurate.

Here is a first person description from a healthy 25 year old. It does sound pretty much like a flu.

This part?

“By the afternoon, I feel like I am suffocating. I have never been this ill in my life. I can’t take more than sips of air and, when I breathe out, my lungs sound like a paper bag being crumpled up”

At the very minimum you should have pre-purchase the plots.

THE people should go to the management and ask for the person to be self isolating at home and telecommute..

The main danger to you is:

You get in a car accident or catch flu or pneumonia or have a heart attack...
and have to go to the ICU.
But the ICU is full of coronavirus patients and you are turned away and you die.

You’re probably going to be ok (unless you’re a healthcare worker who will be worked to the bone and might yourself get it.)

But coronavirus certainly is a risk to you and your family.

I hope the DCUM hive can identify where they live, approximately.

And where they work.

And what hospital they visited to be tested.

And which airport they used. And where they went grocery shopping after arriving home.

I was just thinking about this too and was hoping they tell us but here is a second thought.
1. They did come here from the airport.
2. They did go shopping.
3. They did go to the hospital to be tested.

And God only knows where else did they go. So all the people that were in contact with them went home to their kids, went to work, went shopping.. and carried it with them. So in theory it can be everywhere even if they tell us where they shopped it does not mean you could not come in contact with third generation contact. So eventually .. no difference.

I really hope they let us know the community these people live in so those of us who live in the community can know if we’ve been potentially exposed or not. Why is there shroud of secrecy here I understand maybe keeping the names of the people private, but the community? Just say they live in Rockville or Silver Spring or whatever they happen to live. Or even for the 50-year-old, where does she work? I work for a large company. We have a lot of travel all the time. Does she work in my building?

def works in your building. even your floor.

I think that if they are pulling the protect privacy card it is hilarious. If you have tens of thousands people in a given city, saying that a 70 year old lady in Bethesda contracted it is not in any way a violation considering that there are at least 7000000000 people who are fitting the description.
Therefore is it to protect the privacy or is it maybe to prevent other people to be stoned out of suspicion falling into the category? If that is the case then maybe.. There are known cases of people whos identities have been released and t hey are experiencing death threats and all kinds of abuse. So maybe there is something in it. Imagine falling into the description of a new case and everybody in your area would look at you as a potential spreader. It is said that the anxiety has a huge imagination.

I agree. US response is about as efficient as Iran’s.
While countries like Singapore and South Korea are showing us what a first world country should act like.

I think even China did better than US.
Six states are still not testing for coronavirus: Alabama, Maine, Ohio, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Wyoming

From the latest MCPS email...



"at this time, we are following guidance from the Department of Health and Human Services and our schools will remain open. As we move forward, we are preparing for the possibility of school closures in the future should this become necessary. "

Does anyone think Montgomery County schools are about to close? If so how long?

I wonder what happens to the OP when they find one case at his work and they will require everybody to self isolate, then he she will be asking everybody around in panic to please bring and drop some provisions by the doorstep?. You see OP, like in that fairy tale for kids.. there were two mice..
and one started collecting nuts and grains and what not all summer long and all fall long while the other
was laughing and ridiculing it. Then the winter came...
