NSR: Corona Virus - You Can Start Panicking Now

[Gunner]

Unfortunately the poor unwashed masses in California are going to be rounded up and put in cages. I wonder what the reaction would have been if the trumpster would have tried to implement this. Forcibly removing people from their homes? Video of the press conference can be found at the link below. At the 1:44 Mark the health director talks about how COVID-19 infected people will be removed from their homes if there is only one bathroom in the home.

In a shocking revelation, Ventura County in California just north of Los Angeles has announced that they, along with the entire state, are hiring thousands of “contact investigators” to storm the homes of COVID-infected people and remove them from their homes to place them in isolation centers.

During a briefing recently, Ventura County Public Health Officer Dr. Robert Levin told the media that the county would be moving people from their homes if these people were unable to self-isolate.

“We are beginning a program today which will certainly grow into something larger and larger,” Levin said, “and that is a community contact tracing program.”

Levin explained that the program will consist of “immediately isolating” people who are infect with the novel coronavirus. “As we do more testing, we will find more and more people who have COVID-19, and again, we’ll isolate every one of them and we’ll find every one of their contacts and we’ll make sure that they stay quarantined and we’ll check in with them every day.”

“Some of the people we find are going to have trouble being isolated. For instance, if they live in a home where there is only one bathroom and there are three or four other people living there, and those people don’t have COVID infection, we’re not going to be able to keep the person in that home. Every person who we’re isolating for instance needs to have their own bathroom.

“So we’ll be moving people like this into other kinds of housing that we have available.”

The Japanese were also moved into other kinds of housing.

This is typical government policy for Left Wing Fascists.

While I don't disagree with you, please keep the politics out of this thread. There is a political forum thread to discuss that take on it.

The earliest suspected case in China may have been observed as early as November, some scientists believe, though others doubt the theory. But the report obtained by NBC News cites cellphone activity data showing a complete shutdown of a high-security section of the lab for 2.5 weeks between Oct. 7 and Oct. 24.

Though it offers no insight into what might have caused the shutdown, and there could be other explanations for the data, it's certainly some food for thought.

The report — obtained by the London-based NBC News Verification Unit — says there was no cellphone activity in a high-security portion of the Wuhan Institute of Virology from Oct. 7 through Oct. 24, 2019, and that there may have been a "hazardous event" sometime between Oct. 6 and Oct. 11.

It offers no direct evidence of a shutdown, or any proof for the theory that the virus emerged accidentally from the lab.

If there was such a shutdown, which has not been confirmed, it could be seen as evidence of a possibility being examined by US intelligence agencies and alluded to by Trump administration officials, including the president - that the novel coronavirus emerged accidentally from the lab.

But that is one of several scenarios under consideration by U.S. intelligence agencies. Many scientists are skeptical, arguing that the more likely explanation is that the virus was transmitted to humans through animals in a Wuhan live produce market. The World Health Organization said Friday it believed the "wet" market played a role in the spread of the disease.

German intelligence has revealed that Chinese President Xi Jinping asked World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Thebreyesus to cover up the severity of the coronavirus pandemic in January, according to Der Spiegel.

and WHO pushes back

WHO Statement on false allegations in Der Spiegel
9 May 2020 News release
Der Spiegel reports of a 21 January, 2020, telephone conversation between WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and President Xi Jingping of China are unfounded and untrue.

Dr Tedros and President Xi did not speak on 21 January and they have never spoken by telephone.

Such inaccurate reports distract and detract from WHO’s and the world’s efforts to end the COVID-19 pandemic.

To note: China confirmed human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus on 20 January.

The downward curve in all major market adjacent states is not only visible, it is sustained. (Note that the vertical scale for each state is different, the relative size is vastly different than depicted)

Is it possible to have a rebound? Sure. But we now know what it is, we know it's in our backyard, and we know how to not only flatten the curve, we know how to push the curve down; we know to wash our hands and not touch stuff in public places. Our behavior has changed. We will continue to adapt.

Highwaystar's gathering storm of doom is much like this season's powder days - infrequent and without depth.

Should be announcements in the next 24 hours if MA and NYC will renew stay at home orders. IMHO it's highly likely they will, til June 1st.

NYC did as ABC News reported on the 6:30 news. Did Mass? They don't stay home, they end up in NH, much to our governor's dismay.

NY is opening on a regional, not statewide basis. Each of the 10 regions must meet specific criteria to begin reopening. Some regions alreay meet the criteria and will begin this Friday, others later. NYC and the surrounding suburbs will probably be last. Here's the details.

been a while since we talked about this:

According to Dr. Steven Shapiro and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center:

Crowded indoor conditions can be devastating in nursing homes, while on the USS Theodore Roosevelt 1,102 sailors were infected, but only 7 required hospitalization, with 1 death. This contrast has significant implications that we have not embraced. Epidemiologic prediction models have performed poorly, often neglecting critical variables.

The USS Theodore Roosevelt had a crew of 4,800. Given the acute sample, testing was holistic. This yields an actual infection rate of roughly 23 percent, and among those infected, the fatality rate is 0.09 percent. Among the Roosevelt’s entire crew of assumedly healthy and able-bodied sailors, on a floating Petri dish, during the thick of viral outbreak that shut down all schools and placed healthy citizens across America under house-arrest, the fatality rate was .002 percent.
