[OFF TOPIC] Coronavirus Pandemic

[Olympian1010 8,073]

Second in-state case of the coronavrius in California. The patient had not been to any of the infected regions, nor had they been in contact with anyone known to have the disease. Health officials now believe the virus is being transmitted in California in situation similar to Italy, Korea, and Iran. 
 

As I said, my fears about the disease are still high, but it was inevitable this would happen. Now, I’ve just got to do my best to heed health warnings to avoid the disease. 
 

I still plan to attend the Pan American Championships tomorrow, so hopefully the event will still go forward. So far the cases have both been in Northern California, in some less dense populated areas. However, I fear it’s only a matter of time before it spreads to somewhere like LA, SF, Sacramento, etc.; and then we’re screwed and in it for the long haul.

@rybak any update on the 3 Polish cases? They weren't confirmed?

No, those 3 cases as other 52 cases were just suspicions - according government and ministry of health. But I don't believe for this, as one hospital in Warsaw and one in Wrocław are closed for "visitors" due those suspected cases, in many pharmacies all masks are sold and in shops many people are making food supplies...

Monaco with their first confirmed case!

Now there’s a community case (meaning natural spread within the states) in Oregon. The patient recently visited an elementary school...

We’re so fucked 

Trump (and his allies) have labeled coronavrius as a “Democratic hoax” meant to bring down his first term. Trump has also appointed Mike Pence, a man known for his disbelief in science, as head of the United States response to the disease. It was nice knowing y’all. At least the Chinese and Iranian believe the disease is real.

594 new cases today in South Korea (so far), together with Iran and possibly Italy definitely the most worrying spots on the globe at the moment..

At this point it should be very obvious that Coronavirus is here to stay.

 

So thank you very much China.

I remember quite a number of people in social media mocking China and wishing the spread of the virus there to continue, looks like the rest of the world will suffer the same faith.

Two suspected cases in Washington. Looks like it’s going be a long month here on the West Coast.

Not any different than the decent number of countries where it's already in a more advanced stage
