Wuhan virus (coronavirus) arrives in the USA

[Anonymous]

Don’t forget about all the HHS workers who mingled with the virus evacuees with no protective gear, and then went around town, flew home, back to work etc. th

Source? Was this a tweet or something? He actually said "hoax"?

Yup. At a rally. A hoax invented by the Democrats.

Santa Clara County held a press conference. Looks like that got her test result back in less than day.

"The infected patient is an older adult woman with chronic health conditions who was hospitalized for a respiratory illness, county officials said. Her infectious disease physician contacted the Public Health Department to discuss the case and request testing for the novel coronavirus.

The Santa Clara County Public Health Laboratory received the specimens Thursday and performed the testing. Since receiving the results last night, the department has been working to identify contacts and understand the extent of exposures."

Second case of unknown origin in Northern California - no connection to first case.

The patient is a 65-year-old person from Santa Clara County, with no known history of travel to places hit hard by the outbreak, and no contact with a known case of the virus. Santa Clara is about 90 miles from Solano County, where the first case of community transmission in the United States was confirmed this week.

So not all testing has to go back to Atlanta now? That will speed things up.

They need to trace the movements of the people who met the evacuee airplane. They have been out there for the last few weeks and no doubt moving around the area.

But why?
I am sure they washed their hands. Masks don’t protect you ...didn't you hear? This is what WHO, CDC and everyone else tells us.

Interesting bc I heard from docs who said it does but wash your hands too.

Does anyone have a total count for worldwide cases? I feel like for the longest time BNO Newsroom was putting that out nightly but now bc it's in so many countries all I see is tweets that are country by country rather than before where it was: x total; y of these are in China; z of these are Hubei etc.

Please don’t jump to conclusions.

Total is 85,181 in over 60 countries.

Doctors couldn't figure how SARS was traveling between floors until an engineer noticed the floor drains (apartments in HK often have floor drains to deal with excess water). These floor drains went into the buildings sewer system and the U-shape bend / traps in many of them had dried out. When someone was in the bathroom, closed the door and turned on the fan it created a negative pressure that 'sucked' droplets from the sewers (filled with SARS infected diarreah) and into the bathrooms of healthy residents, who eventually became infected as well.

There were some other sources too including a broken sewage pipe and some other transmissions, but even today in Hong Kong the government reminds people to flood the bathroom floor drains with bleach once a week during outbreaks.

329 infections and 42 deaths occurred in Amoy Gardens.

Yeah.. but no. I am familiar with the case. In any apartment building.. even US if you turn the bathroom vent on, you creative negative pressure.. this causes eir from the suige pipe to be pulled in... and since this virus is present in urine and poop.. and so it is in the sewage pipes...

So if you live in multifamily situation or hotel or hospital or apartment building you need to consider precautions,
Don't create negative pressure while shower vent is open. Normally each sink and shover drain has. S pipe that holds some water to work as a plug for gas, but unless you run water daily and it does not dry out you need to be mindful about all openings that are connected to the sewage system..

Shower drains
Sink overflow and drain holes
Toilet drain
Floor drain if present

In simple English, what are people in apartments supposed to do? Is it enough to run the sink/shower/flush the toilet daily? Is it better to NOT use the exhaust fan? Or does it not matter what you do because someone else running their exhaust fan circulates things into your apartment?

Honestly I prefer the aggregate number diagnosed. Great that about 1/2 have recovered but we keep hearing of people who recovered and then still spread it to others etc. The aggregate number is easier to follow esp for those of us who are checking in once a day and aren't watching this in real time minute to minute.

There was literally ONE clinical case in Japan of a lady that got it twice.One case is not indicative in 80 K pool don’t you think? Could be miss-tested first or second time.

As for the numbers, I hear you, but still, saying how many cases there are and not even side noting. noting that 40 K has recovered is actual miss-information. This leads people to believe that cases only grow.

In reality if almost 40K recovered you can not just ignore it without being biased.

Yes, still scary and serious threat but also some hope in the numbers.

The rest of us or at least many like to see big picture and whole picture.

Misleading headline - these are people who were evacuated from the Diamond Princess and Wuhan, and are being held on military base

I've been sick this last week ever since returning from visiting family in the LA area with a persistent and drowsiness that just won't go away. Still going to work though as the thought of using my crappy insurance to visit a Doctor scares the hell out of me. I'll do what I'll always do and just go to urgent care when it becomes too much to tough out.
