BT, relax. This stuff can not happen over night. Did you even listen to the Potus. I am sure these 12 went home and self-quarantined like they were told vs went to Walmart and costco.  "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

Different problem, but a few days ago my wife talked to a doc who had requested a test from the county public health department for a patient who had just returned from Rome. The initial response was no test "because Rome isn't in Italy." | |||

Ok, his post mirrors my post from page 2 of this thread. Except it wasn’t my wife’s friend, it was me. Jan 21st, I had pneumonia out of nowhere with a high fever and a dry cough, sick like I’ve never been, and they wouldn’t test me because I hadn’t been out of the country. I’ve had pneumonia before, this was different, deeper in the lungs, very dry, almost impossible to cough out. I’m really starting to think I already had it, based on what I’m reading and hearing from folks that have gone through it. They’re saying now that it’s likely been in the Puget Sound area for nearly two months now, and I think I might be one of those cases that flew under the radar. ______________________________________________ Carthago delenda est | |||

The 100K figure was not based on what they are seeing at hospitals. It was based on a fringe theory that if there are 2 or more people who test positive for the virus as a result of community spread (not travel-related) then you can assume that 1% of the population has it. This is not at all a proven theory. If 100,000 people were infected, there would be several thousand people at the hospitals, and officials are not seeing anything close to that. | |||

And now we can add Utah to the list of states for closing public schools. Gov. Herbert just announced a two week closure. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan "Once there was only dark.

The rumor mill is churning big time around here. These are just some of things I have read from Faebook - "Federal agents are going door to door!" "The police helicopter has been up all day looking for looters" "They are not telling us everything, my friend is a nurse and she said they have had hundreds of cases." The last one is my favorite. I personally know 5 nurses in this area who work in 4 different hospitals and not one has seen anything of the sort. | |||

College Closings - Discussion on NPR about students on campus who are there with no financial support from home, no income, no home to go to when campus closes, and then told to go on spring break and don't come back. How is this the college's problem? https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510053/on-point | |||

Ok, pure absolute insane panic has hit Austin, TX. People were already stocking up and buying all of the toilet paper and hand sanitizer, but today they announced the first cases in Austin and now it is full blown panic. I guess people think Coronavirus will take out our gas supply, power grid, and water supply will all be interrupted. I went to the grocery store to just get dinner for tonight and I NEEDED gas for my truck and it looked like hurricane preparation at the gas pumps with 5-8 cars deep at each pump so I moved on. In the store every single isle was almost 100% empty. All meat of any kind, frozen vegetables, eggs, milk, cleaning products of any kind, etc were all gone. I saw a guy with his cart loaded with every bag of charcoal he could fit.....is that the only way he thinks he can cook? I saw another lady with 15 packages of 1 dozens eggs....WTF? People are stupid. NRA Benefactor Life Member | |||

| That rug really tied the room together.  |
I can assure you the story is true. I saw the numerous email and text exchanges. Due to what my wife does and this friend does it created quite the corporate shit storm with headquarters calls and calls to numerous county health departments. There was a lot more to the story that I left out of a public forum for reasons... ______________________________________________________ Often times a very small man can cast a very large shadow | |||

Trump said the "anyone can get a test" thing on March 6th. It was demonstrably untrue. As of March 11th, fewer than 8,000 tests had been performed. | |||

^^^ And a large reason Trump's administration likely "fired" the existing alphabet agency that was in charge, and brought together those in the government who can work with the effective people in the private sector, as well as the setting aside many regulatory M&P that were impeding getting water on the fire. However, there will be many who wish to stick a finger in Trump's eye, just for bragging rights or mental mastrubation.

The problem is the U.S. has banned foreign test kits, and there simply are not enough test kits that are FDA approved to test all of the people that should be tested. | |||

The North Carolina wing of the Civil Air Patrol just suspended all non-essential meetings, events, and activities until April 1 at least. Real world operations, like searching for a lost person or downed plane, will continue. | |||
