The second US death has been reported, a man in his 70's at the same hospital as the first. They now believe that the virus has been floating around Washington for several weeks.

Out here we have a huge Asian population and due to proximity we have a lot of international travel to the Asian countries. Unfortunately when it comes to this virus. My wife and I have curtailed our trips to the big city and even when out and about, until this settles down. Grocery store trips include using the disinfectant on the cart handle, even though no cases have been reported in our county.

A few bullets and some good fuel will “buy” lots of beans and weenies!

It sounds like they have quarantined the first responders (25 people) who were going to the convalescent home where the first death and some of the other cases came from.

This is an interesting twist. Keep that up and we won’t have anyone to treat the patients. It will be interesting to see the plan for medical professionals who come in contact with Corona. But I’m thinking this model won’t work for long!!

That's pretty much what the WHO team observed in China, and China's response as described in the report I referenced above.

The WHO sent 25 international experts to China and here are their main findings

They observed that China threw massive resources at treatment:

"The mass and duration of the treatments overburdened the existing health care system in Wuhan many times over. The province of Hubei, whose capital is Wuhan, had 65,596 infected persons so far. A total of 40,000 employees were sent to Hubei from other provinces to help fight the epidemic. 45 hospitals in Wuhan are caring for Covid patients, 6 of which are for patients in critical condition and 39 are caring for seriously ill patients and for infected people over the age of 65. Two makeshift hospitals with 2,600 beds were built within a short time. 80% of the infected have mild disease, ten temporary hospitals were set up in gymnasiums and exhibition halls for those."

80% of the infected have mild disease, that's a bit of good news.

Glad it's on the other side of the continent. It can stay there....

New York has reported their first case so it sound's like you're right in the crossfire.

Plus he is in Michigan. Illinois has reported cases. Hardly the other side of the continent.

After reading through this thread I think I'm golden... I had weenies piled high with sauerkraut and beans on the side for dinner last evening.
