Olympian1010 7,470 Posted February 28, 2020 #311 Share Posted February 28, 2020 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. “Sport has the power to change the world.

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...

Olympian1010 7,470 Posted February 29, 2020 #314 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Now there’s a community case (meaning natural spread within the states) in Oregon. The patient recently visited an elementary school... “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,470 Posted February 29, 2020 #315 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited February 29, 2020 by Olympian1010 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

heywoodu 13,540 Posted February 29, 2020 #316 Share Posted February 29, 2020 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..

dcro 10,179 Posted February 29, 2020 #317 Share Posted February 29, 2020 At this point it should be very obvious that Coronavirus is here to stay. So thank you very much China. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opruh 125 Posted February 29, 2020 #318 Share Posted February 29, 2020 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.

Olympian1010 7,470 Posted February 29, 2020 #319 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Two suspected cases in Washington. Looks like it’s going be a long month here on the West Coast. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
