Help me here.. so we got cruise cases?... how did they end up here? No quarantine ???

Probably not one of the cruises with suspected cases- cruise ship passengers from other ships have not been quarantined.

So how many others from that particular cruise ship are roaming around the country? Always hated cruises...never been on one and now never intend to try it. It's a breeding ground.

Troll.

I think it’s a reasonable approach

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.

Here is a first person description from a healthy 25 year old. It does sound pretty much like a flu.

Well that guy probably would have been better sooner if he didn't drink the whiskey every night. Alcohol lowers your immune system. Funny how he got worse the day after he drank the whiskey.

The whiskey seems to be the only thing that kept him alive! Or at least it's the only thing that gave him any relief.

Whiskey actually raises your immune system - I might need to run out and stock up! Quite a few articles about it.

Clinicians have long observed an association between excessive alcohol consumption and adverse immune-related health effects such as susceptibility to pneumonia. In recent decades, this association has been expanded to a greater likelihood of acute respiratory stress syndromes (ARDS), sepsis, alcoholic liver disease (ALD), and certain cancers; a higher incidence of postoperative complications; and slower and less complete recovery from infection and physical trauma, including poor wound healing.

This issue of Alcohol Research: Current Reviews (ARCR) summarizes the evidence that alcohol disrupts immune pathways in complex and seemingly paradoxical ways. These disruptions can impair the body’s ability to defend against infection, contribute to organ damage associated with alcohol consumption, and impede recovery from tissue injury. It is our hope that a greater understanding of the specific mechanisms through which alcohol exerts its effects on the immune system may lead to development of interventions to prevent, or at least mitigate, the negative health consequences of alcohol misuse.

All elderly with pre existing health conditions

And their deaths don't matter? Some of us have parents we'd rather not see dead.

Life ends with death. Everyone has to die of some cause. If you already have pre-existing health conditions and late in life, then you are at higher risk of dying from a health related cause, rather than a tragic accident. It isn't about not valuing life - it is about the circle of life. Italy has the second most elderly people in the world. They are going to have a higher percentage of deaths due to this.

Yes. I agree but that doesn't mean this is NBD. How old is old enough to shrug it off in your book? 70? 60? If that's so why do we bother to give the elderly any medical care at all? Why don't we just let nature take its course?

Also what with the ton of children with asthma and other health issues. We are clearly exposing all of them and our families through the possible contraction at school to the deadly virus.

Seriously?

I’m in Wyoming right now. Not much panic here that I’ve seen.

Maybe he should have taken the antibiotics

God, I hope not. That's a daycare nightmare for those of us who have to work. But perhaps Elrich will set up a "paid leave" fund for parents so they can stay home with their kids.

Well, I didn't worry about this type of thing much when I was living the the rural south. But the bad news is that usually those rural places have crap health care and very few doctors. That's one reason I live here now.

I just assumed coronavirus was already in the community here, and have been taking precautions, because there are so many people in the DC area traveling for work, family or for fun. I mean, the testing guidelines have been very narrow.
