Welp there we go. Just had a vendor cancel a visit to their operations center in DC due to coronavirus. "No outsiders".

There's tons of hospitals across the US with negative pressure rooms to isolate affected patients. Not sure where they are getting their info from.

And he's been leveraging tariffs to get better trade agreements. So now everyone is seeing the weak links in their supply chain for goods produced in China.
I'm hoping there is capacity or potential capacity elsewhere in the world for things like drugs which are necessary.

Remember back during the Ebola outbreak in 2014? There were only three locations in the US which could handle patients in isolation, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Emory University Hospital, and National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. The government has added many more since then.

Dallas has several. During the Ebola outbreak the rooms were used.

Hospital coronavirus clusters hit Beijing's plans to get back to normalA second Beijing hospital reported an outbreak of Covid-19 on Thursday, hitting hopes the capital will be able to start getting back to normal.
- A second hospital in the Chinese capital has placed patients and staff under observation after a new outbreak was confirmed in a patient and her family
- Outbreak and rising number of cases at a second hospital mean city authorities will be forced to put back plans to ease restrictions
The city had hoped to ease restrictions on movements and a ban on public gatherings that forced schools to shut down, but the new case, coupled with the news that the number of infections at the other hospital had risen to 36, means they are likely to have to put these back.
The new hospital outbreak was first confirmed in a female inpatient at Peking University People's Hospital on February 18.
The previous day her daughter and son-in-law sought treatment in hospital's fever clinic and later tested positive for the coronavirus that causes Covid-19, Liu Xiaoguang, deputy director of Peking University Health Science Centre, said.
The couple, whose names and ages have not been disclosed, returned from Xinjiang on January 19 and regularly visited the woman, who had been in hospital for six months and was being treated for pneumonia and undergoing dialysis. The ward banned visitors from February 9 onwards, Liu told a press conference.
A total of 164 people, including medical staff, geriatric ward patients and dialysis patients have been placed under centralised medical observation.
Those infected in the Fuxing Hospital outbreak include eight medical staff, nine other hospital workers and 19 patients and their families. An unknown number of cases has also been reported in a neighbouring residential area.
News of the infections first emerged on February 3, when the local authorities announced that five staff and four patients at the coronary care unit had been infected.
The building where the unit was located was sealed off two days later, while other buildings at the hospital imposed access restrictions.

Duncan was kept in a normal ICU room. The two nurses were quickly transferred to NIH and Emory.
Quote:
On Thursday night, the hospital issued a statement saying that when Mr. Duncan arrived at the emergency room, "he was moved directly to a private room with a negative air pressure and placed in isolation," and that the hospital's infection control coordinator "was properly notified in a timely manner of the initial diagnosis." It said it had followed C.D.C. guidelines in effect at the time.
Every non rural hospital I've ever worked in has reverse isolation rooms, mostly for TB. Even St Jo in Bryan has at least one.nukeaggie2000 said:

Not necessarily. If that were the case, everyone over in Asia would have this (not just some subsegment of the hospital staff, for example).nukeaggie2000 said:

I read that the Spokane hospital has a specialized air flow disinfecting system for the isolation rooms.KidDoc said:Every non rural hospital I've ever worked in has reverse isolation rooms, mostly for TB. Even St Jo in Bryan has at least one.nukeaggie2000 said:

Yep, my mom was in one twice. The first time because the room was available, but wasn't used as an isolation room.fooz said:spadilly said:nukeaggie2000 said:

Iran has a big problem on their hands right now.
My guess is (1) They have the extreme bio containment (think decontamination) facilities needed for this virus and (2) Enough beds so they can focus their experts at one location to fast track a treatment plan or vaccine/cure.fooz said:spadilly said:nukeaggie2000 said:
