With the outbreak now reaching triple digit deaths daily, Trump is gonna lock us down, cancel the elections and put the military in charge.

10:1 this will no longer be a CT in two months...maybe sooner. :)

10:1 odds. What do "we" win if you are wrong. :lamo
 
I got to give it to Trump, in am Emergency like this he is the guy I want in charge....he cuts to the chase and does not overly indulge bleeding heart twits.

BTW about the last place you want to be is on a ship, I expect them to be shut down soon.

He should use his emergency powers to reallocate funds to building a wall to keep the zombies out.

Anyway, I will just read one of my favorite childhood books

GAZETTE: Is it significant that there are so few cases internationally compared with the number in China? Is that an indication that control measures are working or is it just gathering steam internationally?

LIPSITCH: Unfortunately, I think it’s more likely to be that it’s gathering steam. We’ve released a preprint that we’ve been discussing publicly — and trying to get peer reviewed in the meantime — that looks at the numbers internationally, based on how many cases you would expect from normal travel volumes. And a couple of things are striking. One is that there are countries that really should be finding cases and haven’t yet, like Indonesia and maybe Cambodia. They are outside the range of uncertainty you would expect even given variability between countries. So our best guess is that there are undetected cases in those countries. Indonesia said a couple of days ago that it had done 50 tests, but it has a lot of air travel with Wuhan, let alone the rest of China. So 50 tests is not enough to be confident you’re catching all the cases. That’s one bit of evidence that to me was really striking. Second, I was reading The Wall Street Journal that Singapore had three cases so far that were not traced to any other case. Singapore is the opposite of Indonesia, in that they have more cases than you would expect based on their travel volume, probably because they’re better at detection. And even they are finding cases that they don’t have a source for. That makes me think that many other places do as well. Of course, we’re making guesses from limited information, but I think they’re pretty likely to be correct guesses, given the totality of information.

I'd like to see Trump's face if the Chinese Ambassador sneezed on him and said, "I feel awful." I bet he'd boil himself.

Coronavirus cases surged again worldwide, to more than 44,000 cases as of Tuesday.

It has local health officials saying the chance of an outbreak in the U.S. is increasing, but staffing and funding is stretched so thinly, they’re concerned about preparedness.

The Seattle and King County Public Health Officer, Dr. Jeff Duchin, spoke with the King County Council Monday.

“It is tremendously taxing. Staff is very stressed at this point,” Duchin said during the presentation.

Though there are no cases in King County, he said the isolation and quarantine public health has needed to oversee has taken a toll on their resources.

“Already, this is exceeding our epidemiological capacity,” he said, adding they’ve had to pull staff like nurses and disease investigators from other programs, “because the baseline staffing was not sufficient.”

Yep, wash hands early and often. For sure do it:

Before eating
After shaking hands
After touching other people’s things
And,
Anytime you’re in doubt
