Now that the WW 3 hysteria has gone away, now we have the Coronavirus to worry about.

Stay off the 7 train, or at least get off by 90th Street.

That's real, however. Just as real as Ebola.

I bet some of our sub-chatters are still in the WWIII mode. A lot of them are slow.

Orange County, California: First case of novel coronavirus confirmed

Posted by Olog-hai on Sun Jan 26 03:14:11 2020, in response to WW 3 No, But Coronavirus Yes?, posted by Mitch45 on Fri Jan 24 11:15:25 2020.

Orange County Health Care Agency Press Release

OC Health Care Agency Confirms First Case of Novel Coronavirus in Orange County, California

(Santa Ana, CA)—The OC Health Care Agency’s (HCA) Communicable Disease Control Division received confirmation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this evening that an Orange County, California case has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

The case, a traveler from Wuhan, China, has been in contact with the HCA and was provided guidance in order to reduce exposure to the public while awaiting laboratory confirmation from the CDC. The individual has now been transported to a local hospital and is in isolation in good condition.

In consultation with the CDC and the California Department of Public Health, the HCA is following up directly with all individuals who have had close contact with the case and are at risk of infection.
  • The HCA will be monitoring any close contacts and assure that proper evaluation and care is provided if they become ill.
  • The CDC’s guidance indicates that people who have casual contact with a case (in the same grocery store or movie theater) are at minimal risk of developing infection.
  • There is no evidence that person-to-person transmission has occurred in Orange County.
  • The current risk of local transmission remains low.
No additional details about the case will be released at this time.

Members of the media, please know that Dr. Nichole Quick, County Health Officer will be available tomorrow, January 26th for interviews after 11 a.m. Please email JGood@ochca.com with your preferred time, and indicate if you are requesting a telephone or in-person interview.

I think SP was making a joke about Corona, not describing the portions of the 7 line heavily inhabited by persons of Chinese descent.

in a week or two the NY Times and CNN will do a story about how business in down in Chinatown or areas like Flushing around the country and how it's racist to not support Chinese businesses in this time period.

It was a retroactive "fuck them" for all the shit they've already written.

And it certainly sounds like something they would publish.

Case of coronavirus confirmed in Orange County; officials call risk of transmission ‘low’

January 26, 2020 at 7:00 am
The OC Health Care Agency said it received confirmation from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Saturday evening that an Orange County case has tested positive for the coronavirus that appears to have spread from China.

The patient, a “traveler from Wuhan, China, has been in contact with the HCA and was provided guidance in order to reduce exposure to the public while awaiting laboratory confirmation from the CDC. The individual has now been transported to a local hospital and is in isolation in good condition,” the HCA said in a statement.

The Orange County agency said it, in consultation with the CDC and the state Department of Public Health, is following up with all people who have had close contact with the patient.

It said:
  • The HCA will monitor any close contacts and assure that proper evaluation and care is provided if they become ill.

  • The CDC’s guidance indicates that people who have casual contact with a case (such as in the same grocery store or movie theater) are at minimal risk of developing infection.

  • There is no evidence that person-to-person transmission has occurred in Orange County.
“The current risk of local transmission remains low,” the agency said in a statement.

Information about the coronavirus is on the OC agency’s website.

Also Saturday, the new virus accelerated its spread in China with 56 deaths so far, and the U.S. Consulate in the epicenter of the outbreak, the central city of Wuhan, announced it will evacuate its personnel and some private citizens aboard a charter flight.

Chinese President Xi Jinping called the outbreak a grave situation, and the government stepped up efforts to restrict travel and public gatherings while rushing medical staff and supplies to Wuhan, which remains on lockdown.

The latest figures reported Sunday morning cover the previous 24 hours and mark an increase of 15 deaths and 688 cases for a total of 1,975 infections.

The government also reported five cases in Hong Kong, two in Macao and three in Taiwan. Small numbers of cases have been found in Thailand, Japan, South Korea, the U.S., Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Nepal, France and Australia.

Canada said it discovered its first case, the man is his 50s who recently flew from Wuhan to Guangzhou, China, and then on to Toronto.

I order a new "phone" to replace one that is apparently obsolete already on the networks. It has been in the "building" stages since the 17th. Supposed to have been delivered on the 23rd. It's now been 10 days without being assembled.

I wonder if the factory is in Wuhan.

Coronavirus: 4474 cases, 107 deaths, 63 recoveries

We're up to 4474 confirmed cases, with 107 deaths and only 63 recoveries. So of the people who got it and are, uh, no longer worrying about it, 37% are still among us.

This might be a bad one.

Live Map for the curious.

If WW3 is done, why the heck did they protest last Saturday all over the country against this War with Iran we're supposedly involved with?

I read an article this week that said a lot of the phones are made in Wuhan.

Mine is now in the factory queue for 11 days. Was supposed to have been here 5 days ago. I guess I'm not going to be getting a new device anytime soon.
