This virus can decimate nursing homes, they need to seriously think about cutting down on visitation in these facilities. Could be a horrible outcome if it makes it into these places.

Two presumed cases in the Tampa Bay, Florida area.
One traveled to Italy, the other they haven't said if the person has been out of the country, except to say they have not been to a country with travel bans/restrictions.

I'm going to bet that in the end, other than Seattle, most cases in the US will be traced to Italy and a few to Iran.

So business forum showing 7,000 more cases recovered than announced over last 4 days. Any chance the site shows this data as well?

I made sure to get beef jerky when we stocked up earlier in week. Tom Thumb has a surprisingly decent selection of beef jerky.Tanya 93 said:
Okay it is spreading.
I am going back tomorrow to go get more Blueberry special K.
Maybe some beef and turkey jerky.
And elderberry gummies.

What is the current thinking on the stability of this virus. Is it like chicken pox in that it is unlikely to be caught more than once? I have read speculation on both sides

I'm no math expert but that looks like a .5% mortality
Shhh that doesn't fit his doom m gloom scenario
That's not how it works. Would you call this a 20% death rate? No, because that's just the numbers from a given day...

Coronavirus: Japan confirms first case of person being reinfected with COVID-19
Officials in Osaka confirmed that a woman who works as a tour bus guide had tested positive for COVID-19 for the second time, further heightening concerns about the spread of the infection in the country.
It came as other nations stepped up measures in response to the outbreak, with Iran banning Chinese citizens from entering the country after it confirmed it had 245 confirmed cases of the coronavirus - and 26 deaths.
There are now 189 confirmed cases of the flu-like illness in Japan, excluding the 639 on the Diamond Princess cruise ship that was docked for two weeks at Yokohama, and a third death was reported on Wednesday.
While there have been a number of cases of reinfection in China, notably in Wuhan province where the coronavirus outbreak originated late last year, second positive tests have not been reported elsewhere in the world.
The woman in Osaka, western Japan, who is in her 40s, tested positive on Wednesday after developing a sore throat and chest pains.

Independent locations, treatments, and dates. This is the first report of reinfection outside of the epicenter.
Seems highly likely and logical.

Houston Rodeo is gonna have some hard choices to make. Different than a baseball or basketball game - it's 3 weeks straight of people in crowded close quarters and they are from all over. Haven't seen what BBQ attendance was but according to friends that had cook teams - still very busy but did look like less folks. Attendance is sure to take a hit.

CDC: San Antonio patient released from quarantine tests positive for coronavirus
(KWTX) The mayor of San Antonio said Sunday the city will hold the Centers for Disease Control accountable after the CDC announced an individual released from quarantine at a San Antonio healthcare facility tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
KENS, the CBS affiliate in San Antonio, reports the individual was released on Saturday and had contact with others.
The individual returned to isolation after a pending lab test came back positive for the novel coronavirus.
KENS reports the patient was being treated in isolation after returning to the U.S. on a State Department chartered flight from Wuhan, China.
The CDC said the patient met its requirements for release: they were asymptomatic, and consecutive sets of tests taken more than 24 hours apart came back negative.
The CDC said it decided to bring the individual back into isolation out of an abundance of caution.
KENS reports local public health agencies are working to track down those who came into contact with the individual.
San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg questioned the CDC's practices.
"The fact that the CDC allowed the public to be exposed to a patient with a positive COVID-19 reading is unacceptable," Nirenberg said. "We will hold the CDC accountable."
I really don't think they were reinfected. It's more likely their nasal swabs were coming back negative but they had some amount of viral load still within them. At some point post-clearing, the viral load increased to a detectable level again.scottimus said:And we are only talking about 4-6 weeks into this mess.scottimus said:Both Japan and China are reporting reinfection of recovered patients...JP_Losman said:

So what you are saying is that according to our protocols that determine infection, they were negative...as in not infected...BUT then for some reason, later "post- clearing," the "viral load increased to detectable levels again?.....as in, according to our testing protocols they were reinfected?AG 2000' said:I really don't think they were reinfected.

The other possibility is everyone seems to be struggling with accuracy of their test kits still. It could be as simple as that.
I'd put reinfection at a distant third on the likelihood scale.
The problem is all indications are that you can be carrying for several days, if not weeks, without showing any symptoms. Also, not everyone will get tested for it if they do show symptoms, as it seems the severity for young, healthy people is not that bad. Even though there are only 86 confirmed cases in the US today, the reality is that there are likely several times that who are actually infected by now, many of whom are unaware and spreading it to others.bmks270 said:
So are all big gatherings going to be canceled for the next few months. There aren't even 100 cases in the US of 350 million. I think canceling events is premature and the risk is still extremely low. Maybe not a month from now, but it's still early and most cases are still associated with overseas travelers.
. That's yet to be determined. I really see no reason to think that the China numbers are wildly innacurate. And if they're not, then it's not that big a deal and certainly wasn't worth the world wide reaction thus far.claym711 said:
