Still overseas travel. Not community transmission yet.

In MoCo, yes. All people who traveled overseas recently.

In DC there has been one community transmission.

There is so much travel between close-in areas of the DMV that I don’t see what difference it makes.

Why on earth would people even GO on their trips in Mid-late February and beyond knowing there was potential? Honestly I don’t get it

If you go to the travel forum you would get it. No matter how many times and ways people have said not to go on the trip in question, inevitably someone else pipes up with the same question but thinks is so different because of the destination.

All travel is risky right now so unnecessary travel should be out right? Nope. People just want to keep believing NBD or someone else's problem.

Did I miss the wall, better, even, than the one Trump promised to build, between MoCo and DC?

I mean now we’ve reached the point where staying here is also risky so you might as well travel right?

And Larry Hogan declared state of emergency when it was just 3. What's the criteria for being able to declare state of emergency. Other states are at the number, but no state of emergency. Is it just governor's discretion?

I was there this morning. Each and every person who walks in must fill out a questionnaire and has their temp taken. Residents’ temps are taken twice a day. Nobody there is currently symptomatic. The event that the coronavirus patient attended was in one room so health dept. believes risk is low and have not instructed quarantines, unless symptomatic.

70 to 100 people attended the event! Must be either very big room or very small people. How is ot low risk to have sick person with so many and not even tracing contacts and ask to isolate?..

Not everyone attended at once. The reception lasted 6 hours.

It was sitting shiva for a deceased person. Haven’t you heard of Judaism?

Not everyone knows what a shiva is.

No new confirmed case, but my SO is reporting from NIH that there was a conference this weekend and one of the vendors was diagnosed with Covid-19. Several NIH attendees potentially exposed.

I've heard the term "shiva" but this is literally the first time I heard "sitting shiva".

My mom went on a cruise. She doesn't believe Coronavirus can live in warm weather and if she has to stay inside, NBD. She will just read.

Then you must not know anyone Jewish.

I think so. It's a legal term that gives the state access to federal funding. You have to declare state of emergency to tap into the funding.

Was there any guidance from the state department at that point? As strange as it sounds some people would turn to that before an online anonymous forum for guidance.
