This will be the forever thread.

California.

U.S. District Judge Josephine Staton granted a temporary restraining order after the city of Costa Mesa filed a request for an injunction earlier in the day. Named as defendants were the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Defense, U.S. Air Force, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services and the California Department of General Services.

Someone needs to ask the nationality of the patients in question.

FOIA if possible.

I suspect these are NOT Americans.

My wife is a police/fire/EMS dispatcher. She has a short drive to work, but it must be done in the dispatch center where the radio, computer and network links are present. She can't very well avoid interacting with the patrol officers that will deal with the public.

On a different note, she just got the bill for the next 90 days of supplies for her insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor sensors. Just $1700. That doesn't include the insulin. Becoming a Type 1 diabetic has become a major money sink. Who knows if the next 90 day supply will even be available.

They are likely, IMHO, foreign nationals. party elites, their kids, ‘assets’, etc.

My understanding, the majority are Diamond Princess passengers. There are a number of videos and pictures of the evacuation flight, including the isolation chamber for the known infected.

Oddly part of that story does not completely add up. The diagnosis was supposedly made on the way to the flight and yet the isolation chamber was already loaded and installed. Maybe it was foresight and maybe not.

[Black Agnes]

I think the squirreliness with the whole ‘evacuation chamber’ and the numerically dodgy behavior was to sneak in some foreign citizens for treatment. Aka, ‘assets’, ‘friends’, dignitaries, etc.

Some overeducated elites have decided we no longer matter and aren’t worth even a modicum of truthtelling. They’re literally running over us with lies at this point. Every other country has (semi) working tests but us? really? They can’t even address a box properly and send them to the wrong states? Raise your hand if you believe any of this crap...

(lowers hand)

Wonder how many of them are Madonna fans. And especially of that song about the future (without most of us).

Can tell you from my experience with MPH peeps 20 years ago most of them are doomers who think the planet is overpopulated. They no more need to be in charge of ‘human health’ than Ted Bundy needed to be in charge of a troop of girl scouts. And for the same reason.

*** Was he of Eastern descent? ***

No, more like a Cedar Chopper (not that there’s anything went with that) or from the movie Deliverance.

I wonder how detailed you can make a will based on various contingencies? Although I guess if your whole family dies, nobody will care about the money.

[Black Agnes]

That kind of stuff happened in the plague epidemics of yesteryear.

Hopefully I won’t lose any kiddos.

[21twelve]

I was thinking of that Chinese movie director - it sounded like he lost his entire family. :(

Two ways of looking at it. I dated a gal that had a large family. Her mom would take half the kids on one flight, and her dad half the kids on another, so if anything happened at least a bunch would survive.

My wife said “Not me. If one of my kids die, I’m going going to go down with the plane too!”

[Black Agnes]

There have been a lot of ‘younger’ chinese that have died. People in their 20’s. I believe the ‘age demographic’ coming from the chicoms just as much as I believe the overall numbers.

I woulnd’t expect them to admit their military was being decimated with cytokine storms.

[Paul R.]

I would think that infectiousness for THIS pathogen would likely drop fairly rapidly with time in that case. But, that’s NOT a slam dunk... More study needed??

I wonder who has the fun job of studying something like that?

[Paul R.]

Yeah - unknown what the actual relationship(s) were, there, right? But I could have missed something.

It’s probabilities, not certainties, anyway, esp. at this point...

I’m much more appalled by that report of China adding another 30k “hospital” beds in Hubei province. If that is true...
