I am sure this is just a slim chance because in MoCo is huge and I am sure there a lots of older couples that recently got back from international cruises but never the less if anyone just got back from anywhere recently they should just stay in their house for two weeks and not be out and about town.

Wow. Care to share where you live?

So whatever you all normally go to the hospital for, it will definitely affect you if they are out of equipment or their staff is off being quarantined.

I believe there was no immunity for the raw virus near the epicenter. As this thing mutates and spreads farther out, I'm betting that there will be some immunity, especially in countries that have robust vaccination programs.

Coronavirus are constantly changing as we saw from the research. How do you think we now have a milder form?

The milder form is the old (original) one.

She’s not going to.

That's not Americans hopped up on their freedom. That's just arrogance and stupidity.

During the epidemics society changes rules. Freedom nice thing but..goverment has rights to impose rules and they should keep us safe from sick people hopping about making others sick.

Ugh they should have stayed where they were. They should have NEVER gotten on that plane. Selfish asses.

But but but, we are told on this thread.... it's only the elderly and immuno compromised at risk. Since those people don't contribute to our New God THE ECONOMY, they are just a drain on resources, who cares if the plague takes them?

The mortality in the 0 to 9 years old is zero.
The mortality in the age group 9 to 19 is NOT ZERO, it is 0.2 %... that is not nothing.. that is 2 people in 1000.

Let me bring it home for you:

MCPS has how many students?: 162,680

With this in mind.. remember 2 kids in one thousand would die.. potentially.. So if we have 162 thousands students..
and all or the most vulnerable will get sick then potentially the loss of life can be as great as 324.

Considering all children with immune issues, I am pretty sure you will easily find 324 kids needing nebulizer. It is
not that all kids will get sick but chances are the ones with already underlying problems might.

So NOT zero but 324 children's lives are at stake..

Whoever tells you there is no risks.. kindly share the table:..



WHO CDC and other institutions supporting this data site and providing all the info that is in the cited source:

so you're saying......there's a chance to reduce some overcrowding?

Who cares if they aren’t community transmission. They flew on a plane to get here. Went through an airport. Probably went to the grocery store and CVS when they got home. They have been in contact with thousands of people. I don’t get why people aren’t concerned.

If this was aerosolized, I can see the panic about this (and trust me, I'm nervous as hell).

You’re ignorant if you think blaming a single isolated person is worthwhile. At this point there are hundreds of cases reported in the US and that likely very underestimated because of the severe restrictions on testing criteria until a few days ago and the shortage of testing kits. So the virus is spreading unchecked and at this point people can contract it from riding a train or touching an escalator handrail in the mall.

It’s already here...and everywhere. People are inadvertently passing germs without realizing they’ve been exposed and are carrying it.

Do you all realize that these people had mild cold symptoms and have already basically recovered? Did anyone read the article? They are not on their deathbed.

This guy who had a horrible case and recovered got "better" twice during his ordeal. Did you read his first hand account of what it was like as a young, healthy person?

Remember he was at the heart of the start of things. Huge pure viral load.
