I assume that is one of required continuing medical education courses for you?KidDoc said:
My conference for pediatric medical education (COMSEP) just announced it is cancelled. It was supposed to be in Cincinnati.
What is super annoying is they FINALLY announced it at 6 PM. They were supposed to decide by 12. To make it more fun if you don't cancel the hotel within 24 hours of the announcement you will be charged full price.
Bunch of a-holes.
Bet it is gonna be fun waiting on hold with the hotel with 1000's of other Pediatricians.
And I cannot just decide to suddenly re-open my clinic next week because all the staff has plans already assuming I would be gone. Ah well more time for Texags I guess.

So this thing is at six figures plus in a smidge under a 100 different countries across this entire world.
When does it become a pandemic? Genuinely curious.
It's a pandemic by definition. It's well beyond it's original source Wuhan China and there is country to country community level spread.
The WHO, CDC etc just won't announce it to avoid panicking people.

Basically, playing with people's lives so a few rich people can be richer.
So just because people lost money, it's ok to lose more? I can see you're not rich. For several reasons.IrishTxAggie said:Snap E Tom said:This is why the WHO won't declare a pandemic:Mr.Infectious said:Eliminatus said:

$425MM is a drop in the bucket compared to the trillions that melted off the last month. There are richer people who have lost more than that. This is grasping at straws

Interesting. My hospital didn't have that, but I've also been out of the business for a long time.OverSeas AG said:Similar to Universities that have a police department.YouBet said:WTF is a Hospital Police Department? That is a thing?Nuclear Scramjet said:

But ultimately it's just to give the sample employees something to do, as they announced they were temporarily suspending samples, which would have left a lot of contract workers in a lurch.

Quote:
A Toorak doctor who has tested positive for coronavirus consulted about 70 Melbourne patients for five days while infected.
Health Minister Jenny Mikakos confirmed the doctor, in his 70s, may have contracted the virus on a flight in the US.
He developed a runny nose on an internal flight from Denver to San Francisco on February 27 and then flew from San Francisco to Melbourne on flight UA0060 arriving at 9.30am on February 29.
....
Health authorities are 'flabbergasted' a Toorak doctor with flu-like symptoms continued to treat about 70 patients while concerns for coronavirus surge.

Would it be as scary even with the greater numbers?
Better to take the worst estimates and prepare for those than get caught flatfooted.Nuclear Scramjet said:

US apparently preparing for 96 million cases and some of these numbers used above are the low end estimates in comparison to some studies.
IIRC, a doctor in Japan did the same thing.lunchbox said:

Now imagine a 10% hospitalization rate that some counties are seeing.
