The University I work for just announced they are banning University sponsored international travel for the month of March.

Like A&M, that means no study abroad sorting break trips

Because of the lawyer, they're also putting 1,000 people into quarantine as either he or his family (mostly his son who went to classes at his university while sick) may have exposed them.



Just another reason to hate lawyers!

I'm supposed to fly to Cincinnati next week for a medical teaching conference (annual). I don't think it needs to be cancelled but waiting to hear from A&M.

How long until this expands to everyone in Seattle/King County?

Just for reference, the LAX person is not an additional case from the 6 announced earlier in the day.

When the likelihood of people in my area having coronavirus, I'll probably start using Hibiclens to wash my hands. Hibiclens (4% chlorhexidine gluconate) can continue to work to kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi for up to 24 hours after washing.

For best results, you wash with Hibiclens and then wait four minutes before rinsing off the hands. Of course, you don't use other soap after that.

UW Medicine says it can now test for the 2019 novel coronavirus or COVID-19. Experts at UW Medicine Clinical Virology Laboratories started working on developing the test at the beginning of the year to help address the national shortage of tests.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced it would allow certain laboratories to develop a diagnostic test for the virus under expedited approval, officials said.

Experts say this test will help speed up and expand testing of local cases. The UW Medicine Virology Lab started testing samples on Tuesday and it's now operating 24 hours per day. Officials anticipate the lab being able to test 1,000 to 1,500 samples per day by the end of the week.

Crazy. I went yesterday and they said there are lines in the morning and that they are sold out of Water, Paper towels and TP before 11 everyday. I can understand the Water, but this run on TP really has me concerned.

Still readily available on Amazon

is that like Hennigan's?



"That's right folks, just three shots of hennigan's, and I don't have to worry about the coronavirus. Imagine, you can walk around China all day. That's Hennigan's, the no-smell, get-well scotch."

"Say you got a big vacay and you're a little nervous. Well, throw back a couple of shots of Hennigan's and you'll be cured and insured and ready for Italy in no time. And because it's odorless, why, it'll be our little secret. H - E - double N - I..."

Better switch to bidets before the run on those start.

If all else fails, you can go the butt to sink route. Rinse and repeat....literally.

Nice.

Hibiclens is an over the counter surgical scrub. You absolutely want to read the warnings before using it.

Toilet paper actually makes more sense than bottled water.

If you had to stay home for 2-3 weeks, one of the things you absolutely do not want to run out of is toilet paper.

That would be a real pain in the ass ...

If that is @MattGertz and not the Congressman with the same name, he is a Media Matters freak.

Never know when you might need to TP your neighbor's house.

The 10th death in Washington was a woman in her 90s from the nursing home.
