| Obama, with his trim figure, erudite manner, cool hands off approach, and firm belief in science, would have been better at this than The Donald. Just chill about the corona, he’d say, adding his catchphrase, I got this. |

UC Davis student under investigation. They are awaiting test results from CDC. She is in isolation, as are her two roommates. Unlike the suspected case, the two are not showing symptoms.

| I can’t find recent numbers for China. It had seemed like their amazing response was paying dividends. WHO had a great twitter q and a. Women are really the obed leading the response. Yay for that! Still can’t get a firm answer on whether it’s airborne spread or not. Spread by cough droplets, but that’s not airborne? Lots of uh, uh, umming from the experts but no great answer. |

LOL - educated and technologically advanced didn't stop their bad habits that led to this being transmitted from animal to human. They know how SARS started and DID IT AGAIN. |

One day in Northwestern Germany. How things unfolded today (Thursday) in North Rhein Westfalia.
https://www.wa.de/nordrhein-westfalen/corona-virus-nrw-coronavirus-covid19-heinsberg-epidemie-ticker-news-13560300.html (I went through the information from earliest update to latest and summarized in my own words, but you can read the original at the link if you read German or machine translate) \ A 47 year old man from Gangelt, Germany (near the dutch border) felt ill, reported complaints since Feb 16 Hospitalized in nearby Erkelenge near Aachen Intubated, on vent Transferred to Dusseldorf Hospital where he tested positive (yesterday I think) Critical condition Wife is 46, symptomatic. Has tested positive. Wife is a K teacher in Gangelt. Schools closed there. Soldier who had social contact with 47 year old man during Carnival party in Gangelt, symptoms, then tested positive. 10 nurses, 4 doctors at the hospital in Erkelenz have been sent home to self monitor. children of K teacher have been sent home to monitor. The two patients (47 man critical, 46 woman OK) had been very active in the past two weeks; vacationed in the Netherlands in a hotel. Those people being monitored. 47 year old man reported fever and cough since Feb 16. Came to the hospital on Monday of this week. At that time lung function was bad, rapid deterioration and failure. He tested neg for flu so coronavirus was suspected. Wife initially tested negative. The Bundeswehr soldier is 41, has flu like symptoms, not serious. An employee of the critical 47 year old man has tested positive, as well as her partner. The District of Heinsberg is trying to contact all visitors to the carnival event in Gangelt Community. They think about 300 visitors were at the event in one room. There is a doctor in Monchengladbach who is positive. He attended the Carnival event. He had contact with 12 patients at his workplace and several employees. Courts in Erklenz, Geilenkirches and Heinsberg are closed. 1000 people in the Heinsberg district are now under quarantine. Relatives/Friends are bringing food to them. This is about 400 people who had been to the Karnival festival plus their close contacts. The carnival association sent list of its members to public health. Public transport still open. Churches not making changes. Churches to make some changes (no holy water) 14 more people who were in Gangelt for the festival have tested positive. No info on them yet. Everyone who is not seriously ill is being treated at home. 1 of the 14 is a resident of Dusseldorf so virus is now in a major city (this person was sent home to self monitor) They continue to seek contacts of all those at the Karnival event |

| What are the symptoms? Just fever, cough, shortness of breath? Not sneezing/congestion? |

... meanwhile we here in the US let the pharmaceutical industry spark the opioid epidemic which will likely kill many more than coronavirus ... |

Fever in almost all cases. Dry cough in most cases. Runny noses in only 4% of cases. |
