We don't have to panic, but I also don't think we should be allowed to carry on like nothing is going on. But I think that IS the plan- carry on like nothing is going on and hope it goes away until there are more positives, more deaths, and we hit a crisis.

This. The silence is deafening. Wtf? Bowser needs to step up.

The federal government too - they need to issue some guidelines to schools and businesses regarding how to handle contacts of confirmed cases.

The problem is, though, that there's hardly any testing capacity to test everyone who should be tested. Eventually everyone is going to know someone who has it - are we all going to just stay home?

We should be testing and staying home now. I don't think Trump can be directly blamed for the CDC f-ing up the testing, but he can be directly blamed for everything since, especially the lack of messaging and contradictory messaging.

That doesn't excuse state and local governments from the head-in-the-sand approach. There should be requirements of anyone in contact with the church rector and parishioners to quarantine. Instead, there was no official information about the identity of the rector, nothing. Just assurance that the cherry blossom festival will go on.

I can't tell if it's political- ignore it and it will hopefully go away - or if it is incompetence. So many failures.

Trump's messaging has been on par with what's coming out of S. Korea (the downramping of death rates, etc). The WHO was screaming 3.7% death rate and Trump was trying to give the proper stat of 1% or less, which WAS being said by other more reliable sources than China's data.

BTW, I just saw this AM a newsbar that said the Chinese open air markets had measurable coronavirus in the air directly inside. If the Chinese would be more responsible with, well, freaking EVERYTHING, then they would not be the #1 exporter of all these deadly diseases. They are the real issue, not Trump. You all just are so blinded by hate you don't want to hear that.

Such as?

OMG give it a rest. We know everything is Trump's fault.

It's not my fault that's what he tweeted. JC

Why don't you take it to the Politics Forum, loser.

Self-quarantine is the responsible thing to do. However, self-quarantine is supposed to be 14 days from the date of exposure, which would have been 7 days ago already for anyone in the congregation.

The CDC feels that illness occurs within 5 days. Raheem Kassam was at CPAC in the green room with the two identified as the infected and has been sick for 7 days already with a flu-like illness. He didn't find out about his exposure until 2 days ago, when the other guy was tested in NJ.

CPAC was Feb. 26 through Feb. 29. AIPAC was two days prior. Kassam was probably exposed on the 27th or 28th. He was sick by around the 1st.

In the green room with the 2 infected? Isn't CPAC just the one infected, the NJ man?

Basically, don't shake hands and stay your distance. Make sure you wash those utensils very well too. Video chats and conferences are the best way to communicate now.
How many times have you sneezed and then open up a door. People are not even using their hands to push elevator buttons. And some won't hold touch doors and expect the one in front of them to keep the door open for them.
Don't share anything with anybody. Unteach your kids to don't share anything.

South Korea for one. Their stats, and they are MUCH more on par with what we could expect.

The two travelled together and shared a hotel room. Both tested positive.

Kassam himself.

I'm only seeing one CPAC positive

The CPAC attendee who tested positive for coronavirus was infected before the conference at Maryland?s National Harbor. The American Conservative Union, which puts on CPAC, said on Saturday that the individual was tested at a New Jersey hospital and quarantined in that state.

Both AIPAC positives were at the conference together, from what I understand.

So are the employees at National Harbor or the hotel where this guy stayed self-quarantining? How would any server know this infected guy from anyone else?
