...Sorry to repeat myself, but consider setting aside the usual reluctance to get involved & intervene with stressed parents & spouses if given the opportunity. Every day is dangerous, and potentially deadly, for these folks, but now even more so.

WA Gov. Inslee: While Trump Was Saying Coronavirus ‘Was a Hoax,’ We Were Saving Lives
PAM KEY5 Apr 20204,567
Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Gov. Jay Inslee (D-WA) claimed President Donald Trump was saying the coronavirus “was a hoax” while “we were acting to save the lives of our citizens.”
Inslee said, “The evidence that Dr. Birx has pointed to repeatedly does demonstrate we have had some success flattening the curve. That has taken place because we acted relatively early. We had a staged way of moving forward. We’re one of the most aggressive stay at home, stay healthy initiatives in the United States. And I think this has a reason to believe it’s been demonstrably successful. And I’m glad we got on it relatively early. While the president was saying that this was not a problem, I mean, it was a hoax. We were acting to save the lives of our citizens in a number of states, include California and Washington State. It’s pleasing to know that if you act aggressively and if you realize that even though you’re looking okay today, it could bite you big time tomorrow, I think that’s one of the wisdoms.”
“I think it would be good to have a national stay at home order,” he continued. “And the reason is that even if Washington gets on top of this fully, if another state doesn’t, it can come back and come across our borders two months from now. So this is important to have national success. But I want to reiterate. We are a long ways away from being out of the woods. We have not gotten down to anywhere close to where we need to be to declare victory over this horrendous virus.

[COMMENT: OK, let us look back in time and see what was actually said by the Trump Admin.
1:53 min Jan 27, 2020 update after 5 cases
"While the virus poses a serious public health threat, the immediate risk to Americans is low." Scty Azar HHS
46:37 min Jan 28, 2020 update
"Americans should know that this is potentially a very serious public health threat, but at this point, Americans should not worry for their own safety....Part of the risk we face is that we don't know what we need to know about this virus, but I want to emphasize that that does not prevent us from preparing and responding. " Scty Azar HHS He also talks about working to determine whether there is asymptomatic transmission. He talks about ASPR reviewing the level of preparedness, including the strategic national stockpile. By this time a Travel Advisory had been issued for all of China.
Dr Redfield in the briefing said they were expanding screening from 5 to 20 airports. "Right now there is no spread of this virus in our communities here at home. This is why our current assessment is that the immediate health risk of this new virus to the general public is low in our nation. The coming days and weeks are likely to bring more confirmed cases, here and around the world, including the possibility of some person to person spread, but our goal of the ongoing US public heath response is to contain this outbreak and prevent the sustained spread of the virus to our country."
NCIRD Director Nancy Messonnier talked about helping Washington, California and Arizona with contact tracing.
Dr. Fauci talked about diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines.
Q&As: What is known about asymptomatic transmission?: Messonnier isolated reports of asymptomatic cases in a few cases in other countries. No evidence of human to human transmission in the US cases (at this time.)
White House considering travel ban to the US?: Scty. Azar constantly reviewing actions.
Considering Declaring Public Health Emergency? We will declare it if and when appropriate, but now we only have 5 cases, each had direct contact with Wuhan and there has been no evidence of person to person contact transmission.
Rapid Diagnostic Test? Not the same as rapid flu - right now only available at CDC if we expand concerned about proper sensitivity or specificity expect to be more available to local areas in next few weeks.
Over the weekend concerns about containment in China? Azar obviously spreading rapidly Redfield Clear outbreak continuing almost 1700 new reported cases. China Response mixed containment and mitigation cancelling large gatherings and travel areas. Evidence human to human transmission outside of Hubei province.
Run on masks at drugstores ? Azar: Risk is extremely low to individual Americans. This should not be an impact to their daily lives. Masks would be an improper step.
Proper role of the President in a disease like this and what message should he be communicating? Azar: Proper role for any of us is to be open and transparent. The mantra we have is that we want to be giving you the information we have when we have it so you, the American public know what we're learning, how we are thinking and how addressing the problem it is always a balance. It is very difficult to make predictions with an emerging infectious disease. Viruses are unpredicatable. The message is that it is potentially very serious health issue but at the moment there is nothing individual Americans should be worried about, but that is at the moment... "
US evacuation citizens from Wuhan - WHO has stated this action is unnecessary. Do you trust WHO and China's ability to manage this crisis? Azar: We will take whatever steps we feel are necessary to protect American citizens I am not aware of any critique from Dr Tedros. I have great confidence with our partners at WHO
Conflict with China and US about whether the disease is contagious before symptoms appear? Redfield: The Chinese have stated that their data says that it is. The CDC has not been able to review that data. We have not been able to confirm this by our data. We have a limited experience here in the US. We are hoping to be able to review the Chinese data when we send our team to China.
Fauci: We would really like to see the data, because if there is asymptomatic transmission it impacts certain policies that you do regarding screening, etc. But what people have got to understand is that throughout history, asymptomatic transmission has never been the driver of outbreaks. The driver of outbreaks is always a symptomatic person.
Here
33:42 min is another Presser announcing the declaration of a Public Health Emergency in the US and the President's Feb 2 ban on entry to the US of any foreign national who have traveled in China in last 14 days and requiring quarantine of US citizen's who have been to Hubei China in the past 14 days and self quarantine for any citzen who has been in China. Fauci also confirms asymptomatic and person to person transmission. (At this point there has been that additional contact transmission in Chicago.)
Anyway, this is what was happening when Washington State had that 1 case of the student who had been to Wuhan.]

That's been discussed for awhile now and seems a good idea. IF such immunity can be really ascertained. I dont see how it can be, yet, we don't have enough data. Some were calling for "chicken pox parties" even, lol, in order to get the infection and get over it, and back to work. Keep your invitations to that one, kids, momma's got other plans that evening

STUTTGART, Germany — U.S. troops worldwide must wear masks, and sew their own if necessary, if they cannot maintain “social distancing” standards to protect against the coronavirus, the Pentagon announced Sunday.
The directive follows a sharp rise in coronavirus infections in the ranks and concerns about the ability to maintain 6-foot social distancing, especially aboard ships and aircraft.
Defense Secretary Mark Esper said the directive applies to all personnel: troops, family members, military civilians and contractors.
“Effective immediately, to the extent practical, all individuals on DoD property, installations, and facilities will wear cloth face coverings when they cannot maintain six feet of social distance in public areas or work centers,” Esper said in a message to the force.

An inmate from Rikers Island who tested positive for the coronavirus died in a Manhattan hospital on Sunday, jail officials said.
The 53-year-old man was transferred from the sprawling jail facility to Bellevue Hospital on March 26 and eventually died there, according to Department of Correction spokesperson Peter Thorne.
He’d been at the lock up since Feb. 28, according to The New York Times, which first reported his death.
“Our deepest condolences go out to the detainee’s family in their time of grief,” Thorne said in a statement. “The safety and well-being of those in our custody remains our number one priority.”
At least 273 inmates at city jails and 321 correction staffers had tested positive for COVID-19 as of Sunday, the department said. Four Correction employees have died from the disease.
DOC does not clarify which of its facilities were affected but the vast majority of inmates are locked up on Rikers Island.
Since the coronavirus outbreak hit Rikers in mid-March, the city has released at least 200 inmates from jail facilities.
City officials, defense attorneys and prosecutors have been working to identify prisoners who could be moved from jail to house arrest while they await trial.
The Legal Aid Society last month filed four lawsuits to get some of its clients out of Rikers and to win freedom for juvenile detainees.

There is a reason every country affected is going into a full on panic in an attempt to shut this virus down.
There is treatment but if you catch it, the only cure is death.

And, with that knowledge or even just the possibility, would we be or should we be so anxious to lift the lockdowns and "get back to work"?
We don't even know for sure what we are dealing with but for the sake of money we are ready to consign millions to a perpetual death sentence.
The economy is trashed, the virus sped it along but that was coming one way or another. Many here knew that and tried to warn of it. The virus was just a convenient cover story.
I fear that we may be making another much more serious mistake by rushing things and exposing people before we have any of the answers.
Two wrongs will not make this right.

China: Some ‘Cleared’ Coronavirus Patients Test Positive Three Times
The South China Morning Post on Thursday discussed a “recovered” coronavirus patient named Adele Jiang who has been quarantined in a hotel in Hubei, the province where the outbreak began, after testing positive for the third time.
Jiang, a 24-year-old student, has been hospitalized, placed in isolation, and discharged twice, only to begin the cycle again when she tested positive less than two weeks after being released. She said her repeated hospitalizations left her “confused and upset.”
“I was not even told that I had retested positive until I was sent to hospital and the doctors told me I would be treated there again for the coronavirus,” she complained.
“Conditions for discharge include three days of normal body temperature, an absence of respiratory problems, and a significant improvement in the chest lesions which are a feature of the disease. Patients must also test negative in two consecutive PCR tests — the swab technique which identifies any remaining genetic material of the virus — conducted at least one day apart,” the SCMP noted.
Although Chinese doctors have said retesting positive is extremely rare, officials in one Chinese province estimated that 14 percent of patients tested positive again after they were discharged. Jiang said growing awareness of these positive retests is producing discrimination against recovered coronavirus patients, especially those from Hubei. Such feelings are said to have caused a clash between police and citizens of Hubei and neighboring Jiangxi province last week.
Chinese dictator Xi Jinping said on Wednesday that local government agencies need to “enhance the management of asymptomatic carriers,” meaning people like Jiang who test positive without displaying visible signs of illness.
The Chinese government claims there are only 1,367 asymptomatic carriers currently in the country, but the Epoch Times noted travel restrictions were lifted by Hubei province on March 25, permitting anyone who earned a “green” health code to travel freely. At least three million people traveled out of the province over the following week. Several other provinces have imposed their own rules requiring visitors from Hubei to be quarantined until they pass at least two tests for the coronavirus.

I just rode the elevator down with a doctor from a major Chicago hospital. I said "tell me if you can, how bad is it?" He had a stunned look on his and said "I can't put it into words." I said "there are some people who say it's not real, it's not happening, it's staged." He said, "Now those are some world class assholes." Not my words. Not my opinion.

Actually, Clif High did a video (sorry I can't remember the title) in the last day. It was about bats. He said that they are finding that it lives forever in the bats and attacks again when their system gets run down. Sorry. That was a loose translation. Watch his stuff for the last day on bats and listen carefully. He so strongly believe that this has so little to do with a virus and everything to do with a bioweapon and that we cannot win this battle until we stop treating a virus.

Japan expected to declare state of emergency as early as Tuesday
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will declare a state of emergency over the coronavirus as early as Tuesday, the Yomiuri newspaper reported, as the number of infections topped 1,000 in the capital, Tokyo.

Abe will likely announce his plans to declare the emergency on Monday, the paper said.
Under a law revised in March to cover the coronavirus, the prime minister can declare a state of emergency if the disease poses a “grave danger” to lives and if its rapid spread could have a huge impact on the economy. The virus has already increased Japan’s recession risk.
The move would give governors in hard-hit regions legal authority to ask people to stay home and businesses to close, but not to impose the kind of lockdowns seen in other countries. In most cases, there are no penalties for ignoring requests, although public compliance would likely increase with an emergency declaration.
More than 3,500 people have tested positive and 85 have died from the new coronavirus in Japan, according to public broadcaster NHK.
While that toll is low compared with 335,000 infections and more than 9,500 deaths in the United States, experts worry about a sudden surge that could strain the medical system and leave patients with nowhere to go.

Dr. Fauci: "Unless we get this globally under control, there is a very good chance that it will assume a seasonal nature in the sense that if - and I hope it's not only if but when - we get it down to a point where it is really at a low level, we need to be prepared. Since it will be unlikely to be completely eradicated from the planet, as we get into next season, we may see the beginning of a resurgence. And that's why we're pushing so hard to get our preparedness much better than it was but, importantly, pushing on a vaccine and doing clinical trials for therapeutic interventions so that hopefully, if in fact we do see that resurgence, we will have interventions that we did not have in the beginning of the situation that we're in right now" [source]

I caught that too.
Rough transcript (by me):
1:03:46
REPORTER: YEAH, UH, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE KNOW ANYONE CAN SPREAD THE DISEASE, ALRIGHT, UNWITTINGLY. SO WHY DO WE HAVE A FEW BUSINESSES OPEN? WHY NOT SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN? THERE ARE GROCERY STORES THAT ARE OPEN, FAST FOOD PLACES . WHY EVEN TAKE A LITTLE CHANCE, JUST SHUT IT ALL DOWN.
POTUS: WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO .... (ie: think about this some more - he is not saying we're going to have to shut it down - watch video clip below), WE'LL ANSWER THAT QUESTION LATER. ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT RIGHT NOW THINGS ARE LOOKING REALLY GOOD AND OPENING UP WITH A BANG WILL BE A GREAT THING. THERE'S NOBODY GOING TO BE HAPPIER THAN ME.
ETA: I saw a clip of this exchange on twitter: 23 seconds:

Nothing in this article indicates that Emory has a bio level 4 facility. How is it that this agent can be handled at Emory, or many of the others named as working on it, without the appropriate level lab?Emory among U.S. sites hosting new clinical trial for COVID-19 treatmentEmory among U.S. sites hosting new clinical trial for COVID-19 treatment | Emory University | Atlanta GA

Aneesh Mehta, MD, is the site principal investigator for the NIH-sponsored COVID-19 clinical trial.
Emory University will take part in an NIH-sponsored global clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of novel therapeutic agents in hospitalized adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19. The drug remdesivir is the first agent to be evaluated.
The Emory Vaccine Treatment and Evaluation Unit (VTEU) was activated 3/11/2020 by The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), meaning it can begin enrollment as part of this phase three therapeutic clinical trial.
The clinicaltrials.gov identifier is NCT04280705.
Emory is one of several sites being activated for the trial. The study will be conducted in up to 75 sites globally. Dr Aneesh Mehta, an investigator in both the national VTEU network and National Ebola Training and Education Center (NETEC), serves as the Emory principal investigator for this study. The Emory VTEU is led by Drs. Nadine Rouphael, Evan Anderson and Carlos Del Rio.
“This important study will allow our patients to access the highest level clinical care, driven by the best data from around the world, while contributing to the science of caring for patients with COVID-19,” says Mehta.
COVID-19 starts as an upper respiratory tract infection, often indistinguishable from other more common respiratory tract infections. First detected in Wuhan, China, the novel coronavirus has spread rapidly around the globe. Worldwide, the number of COVID-19 cases has topped 100,000, while in the United States the total has grown to more than 1,000.
Emory is playing a key role in the effort to expedite clinical trials to combat COVID-19. VTEUs have performed high-quality clinical research for more than half a century to test new vaccines and therapies for infectious diseases in clinical trials of adults and children. The Emory VTEU includes the Hope Clinic of the Emory Vaccine Center and the Emory Children's Center Vaccine Research Clinic, both renowned in clinical and translational research in infectious diseases vaccines, treatment and prevention.
The VTEUs are a component of the Infectious Diseases Clinical Research Consortium (IDCRC). The IDCRC principal investigators are David S. Stephens, MD, professor and chair of the Department of Medicine in Emory University School of Medicine and vice president for research of Emory’s Woodruff Health Sciences Center, and Kathy Neuzil, MD, Myron M. Levine MD Professor in Vaccinology and director, Center for Vaccine Development, University of Maryland Baltimore.
“This COVID-19 outbreak is expanding rapidly,” says Stephens. “Thanks to the foresight of the NIAID we have a critical infrastructure in place to move quickly as well, harnessing some of the brightest minds in the academic medical community to fight COVID-19.”
About The IDCRC: The Infectious Diseases Clinical Research Consortium was formed in 2019 to support the planning and implementation of infectious diseases clinical research that efficiently addresses the scientific priorities of NIAID. It consists of nine VTEUs and the IDCRC Leadership Group. The IDCRC is made up of infectious diseases leaders and clinical researchers from Emory University, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Baylor College of Medicine, University of Washington, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, FHI360, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute, University of Rochester, Saint Louis University and the NIH NIAID Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases.
About NETEC: The therapeutic trial is also being conducted in conjunction with The National Ebola Training and Education Center (NETEC) Special Pathogens Research Network (SPRN), which is led by Emory University, the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and the New York Health and Hospitals Corporation, Bellevue Hospital Center. NETEC has created sustainable infrastructure and culture of readiness for managing suspected and confirmed special pathogen incidents across United States public health and health care delivery systems. By partnering with ten leading medical centers around the country, NETEC has established a network of containment units and teams to care for patients with these high consequence pathogens. Those regional treatment centers are: Emory University Hospital and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta-Egleston Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, Bellevue Hospital, Johns Hopkins Hospital, University of Minnesota Medical Center, University of Nebraska Medical Center/Nebraska Medicine, University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Denver Health Medical Center, Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center and Children’s Hospital and Cedars-Sinai.

There are still A LOT of unanswered questions about how this is spreading. Read the article jward posted the other day. It makes a lot of sense, but opens up all those questions again.... I don't necessarily think it's less easily transmitted than thought, as the article suggests, but I do wonder if there is something missing in what makes it easily transmitted in some cases, and not in others. Obviously these cases in NYC are more easily transmitted than the ones in Hawaii. But why??? that is the million dollar question, and it's not weather because there are more cases in Miami than in most states in the USA right now. (and it's been in the 90's for weeks in south Fl).
