CDC head just called out international travelers coming home and seeding their communities.

And specifically brought up "then going to nursing homes". You've been owned, Montgomery County

Ok, why is MD telling people it's no big deal if they were at CPAC or that old age home event?

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?

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

Then you must not know anyone Jewish.

Not growing up I didn't. As far as I know, there weren't any in my town and very few in my state. Jewish people are really isolated to a few location in the country. Many people don't know any. I know some these days but not well.

You are missing out. Some of the smartest, funniest, most interesting people I know are Jewish.

It’s not like I’m purposely avoiding Jewish people...

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.

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

That's an excuse for "I want to go" Planes and airports are germ-vectors.

Not the pp you replied to. There is no “excuse”. They can do what they want so long as there is no MANDATORY quarantine. We probably won’t have one in the US at all so why shouldn’t they do what they want? It’s optional.

Love you, NP. So much. I am not Jewish, but I wholeheartedly agree.

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.

As long as everything is voluntary and the government doesn't start mandating things, people will do what they want. Everyone will not follow voluntary guidelines.

There is guidance from CDC even now but it doesn?t prohibit or even suggest stopping travel to other than the high risk locations.
