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?

This doesn't actually make sense. You're spouting nonsense.

Again, how do we now have an L form and an S form, the latter being milder?

Now they are trying to retrace what the three did and where they went on a daily basis for the two weeks they were in the area.

And they should publish that so people can plan accordingly.

Fir example my husband has to go to Bethesda and Silver Spring sometimes for work. If it turns out it's Bethesda, he can ask to go there less frequently or telework. But he needs the info to make a determination.

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.

I think this is a doctors view of “mild” ie you don’t die but still ver very sick and it takes 14+ days from start of symptoms.

Well, that's three minutes I'll never get back. What tf was Ellrich on about? "Don't travel if you are sick," and "wash your hands." Did anyone find this useful?

You need to keep watching. It's not over yet.

Right. And wasn't in an ICU/using a ventilator.

Montgomery County schools prepare in case coronavirus requires closings

MCPS plans - What a joke! I guess they can mail off packets to kids w/o computer access.

Montgomery County, Maryland’s public school system continues normal operations, and school and health officials say they are preparing should that change.

Montgomery County Public Schools Deputy Superintendent Monifa McKnight said plans for remote instruction and hard copy lessons would be ready should schools have to close due to the coronavirus. She was repeating a message delivered in a briefing Tuesday with county officials.

It's March for F's sake. Kids can afford to not be instructed for two months. Their brains won't rot. My GOD!

+1000 if schools close it will be a national emergency and all students will be in the same boat. They will still get into college as everyone’s isn’t going through the same thing.

What’s wrong with internet and TV broadcast schooling? Even radio broadcast school lessons can be done. There are plenty of alternatives. Half of what they do in school can be skipped like art and PE and lunch hour. They can just do exercises in the living room to a tv instruction PE teacher.

Nothing but that takes time to ramp up. I guess all the teleworking parents can use this as a virtual babysitter though.

In a way it is a war.

Maybe enough stress on kids as is and give them a break.

If my college kid wants to leave early, he can take incompletes and finish the semester later. My older kid was on the 7 year plan (learning disability combined with immaturity) and not only did he finish, he's very gainfully employed now in computing. And he didn't even go Ivy. People here are ridiculous.

They have been out an about since they got back but the past 2 days they have been staying put at home. 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.

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

But didn't everyone from the cruise get on a plane to get home?

So this couple has arrived back on the 20th of February. Only got tested two days ago. Unlikely was quarantined for 2 weeks. Meaning went places for 2 weeks. Now, I am not saying they knew they were sick but they were contagious. As per NYC example all those around them are positive.
We likely have thousands of carriers around us. Death toll at 14 in the the U.S. pretty high for a howx!

Per the current live stream:

All 3 MD peeps were on the same international cruise, not in or out of Baltimore. Not together, a couple and another person.

They will not give any specifics of where in MoCo county the people live.

Ridiculous. Why do we know so much more from other cases and this one is so hush hush. They won't even mention what hospital they went to.

And they were contagious. Hogan said their symptoms are now abating.

Okay so the speculation is probably right, it’s the first cruise that the man from California who died was on. The fact that there is an infected couple and a third individual also infected that was not a part of their group should be a very disturbing sign for everyone. Unless by some strange coincidence this line person had his room next to theirs, that ship is basically the death knell of containment. Thousands of people scattering all over the country. And containment was already darn near impossible.
