They are adding something to this narrative:

“We are still focused on containment. Remember, most people have mild cases. Masks will nor protect you from Covid-19 (giggle when you say it, shake head slightly). We have the very best people in the world working on this. The threat to most Americans is very low. We are going to radically ramp up testing. Wash your hands, sneeze in your elbow. Carry on, don’t worry.”

Remember when most people were straight forward and there were a few scammers you’d run into that you had to watch out for?

Yeah. Local hospital here, which is at least “average good” was “upgrading their IT systems” while my Dad was in and out of there. They were screwed up for over a year - maybe more, as Dad passed away and I’ve not been back, since.

“I have some aloe vera gel and 70% rubbing alcohol. I thought about combining to make hand sanitizer...”

A month ago I read where the percentage needs to be at least 60% or more. And it loses some of the alcohol if it is old. I have two old bottles that I added straight 99% rubbing alcohol to in order to bring it’s strength. But no - don’t dilute the 70% hand sanitizer.

King County official in Washington: County in negotiations to purchase a hotel for victims who are infected and need to recover.

https://www.oregonlive.com/coronavirus/2020/03/king-county-officials-hold-news-conference-on-coronavirus-in-washington-live-updates.html

Here's the quote:

"“We have moved to a new stage,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine. The county was buying a hotel to house patients that would be available by the end of the week. The county would also be setting up modular units to offer to patients who need to be in isolation. The locations of the new housing options would be released later on Monday, Constantine said."

Never underestimate the power of the Japanese Plunge Protection Team. How they kept Japan afloat after Fukushima is a mystery.

New coronavirus case in Sonoma County, California

The San Antonio case that was released to the wild:

“At least 21 exposed as coronavirus patient went to hospital, hotel and North Star Mall”

https://www.kxan.com/news/coronavirus/gov-abbott-san-antonio-leaders-criticize-cdc-for-releasing-coronavirus-patient/

Oh, a lot more people were exposed! How about the taxi driver or whomever drove her all over town? Where’d she eat? How about the maids and did they sterilize the hotel room? Where else did she go, huh? Did she hug anyone good-bye as she waltzed out of Lackland? How about those pictures we saw of Lackland’s buffet with community serving spoons and no sneeze guard? Does everyone back at Lackland need to have their quarantine time restarted? I’d say they do.

NEBRASKA - 4hrs ago March 2

2 cruise peeps released yesterday, two to be released today. 3 negatives more than 24 hours apart. I dunno why but the tape was cut short just as one of the fellas was about to discuss one patient enrolled in a drug trial...

gist:
move from containment (preventing spread) to mitigation (lessening impact). Potentials: cancelling large events in affected areas; social distancing - churches, schools, intermural sports; teleworking, etc. Predicting timing and severity.

The doctor was a total whack job. I can’t even believe Varney had him on.

Did you seriously post that???

Have you even researched this 'whack job' doctor...who also was on CNBC, this morning....has written several books...is an infectious disease doctor, in at Manhattan...and has been, for some time?

From his bio...

MATT MCCARTHY is the author of two national bestsellers, The Real Doctor Will See You Shortly and Odd Man Out. He is an assistant professor of medicine at Weill Cornell and a staff physician at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, where he serves on the Ethics Committee. His work has appeared in Sports Illustrated, Slate, The New England Journal of Medicine, and Deadspin. He reviews nonfiction for USA Today and is editor-in-chief of Current Fungal Infection Reports.

==

Yet...you call HIM a whack job?

Geez.

He's sounding the alarm, regarding the testing situation....yeah....really crazy.

Here's a vid of Dr McCarthy, discussing COVID-19, and he sure doesn't sound like a 'whack job', to me.
