The person last worked screening air travelers for illness on Feb. 21, said the DHS statement, which also said the medical professional had worn the proper protective gear while working. The internal email described the medical professional as a "CDC {Centers for Disease Control and Prevention} contract medical screener."

Wonder what kind of training a “contract medical screener” had.

    Against my better judgment and several beers deep, I have taken you up on this, potentially ending my streak of totally worthless posts. I have done 3 and 7 day averages only on the Worldometer data.

Are you an old smoker? You will be fine otherwise unless you're going to go hang out in some sort of confined space with filthy people eating bats. Buck up, sir. 

I was in New Orleans this weekend and getting reservations was easy as pie. There were 3 people in line ahead of us when we showed up to Parkway for poboys. There's allegedly usually a line around the building during lunch hour at that place. There were open seats at Carousel during happy hour. Planes and amusement parks might wind up being some of the safest places in the country if all of the preppers here are correct and the apocalypse is nigh.

I was thinking more international. My wife and I have a Jamaica trip in May I'm guessing will likely be cancelled.  Not because I'm necessarily concerned for us but I don't want to get stuck in some bizarre quarantine if we happen to get sick or risk having trouble getting back quickly if caretakers for kids (I.e., grandparents) happen to get sick.  But agreed may try to replace that with multiple shorter domestic trips.   And N.O. absolutely fits that bill.

Air samples tested negative, but swabs taken from air exhaust outlets were positive -- which suggests that virus-laden droplets may be carried by air flows and deposited on vents.

Not parking widebodies. Redeployed for hub to hub, transcons, and leisure destinations.

There is so much craziness going on today.   We had a member of Congress, albeit he’s a Florida man, wear a fucking gas mask to the appropriations vote today.    Spoilered for those easily triggered

This will work out well   The attorney in NYC.  They are asking 1,000 folks to self-quarantine.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/04/health/new-york-coronavirus-cases/index.html

“The man has an underlying respiratory condition that made him more vulnerable to the virus, said Dr. Howard Zucker, commissioner of the New York State Department of Health. 

The attorney has connections across metro New York City. He works at the Lewis and Garbuz law firm in Manhattan, and his family lives in suburban Westchester County. 

His 20-year-old son attends Yeshiva University in Manhattan, and his 14-year-old daughter attends SAR Academy and High School in the Bronx.”

——

“About 1,000 people are being asked to self-quarantine after the five latest cases, Cuomo said. 

Various health departments will contact those people and provide guidance.

"If anything, we are being over-cautious," Cuomo said.

Those asked to self-quarantine include some congregants of the Young Israel of New Rochelle synagogue in Westchester County.”

Add to the same advise near Seattle and going to be fun to watch. How do you quarantine the homeless? Asking for a friend. 

Oh, and this. 

Wonder what they are anticipating.

Both?   And embarrassment at the contamination issue.

I’m going to laugh if those people boarded that cruise ship after the shitshow with the cruise ship in Japan.   And given the amount of time, I’m guessing that they did.    Why would anybody do a cruise at this point?

Not sure if shared here yet, but here in San Antonio hospital systems are amping up their preparedness and response. Starting tonight entrance and exits restricted from each one and every person coming and going will be screened for fever and cough. I believe it’s city wide but for sure in all HCA and Tenet facilities.

Fort Bend must not be following the same policy as Harris.

Good to hear. Every hospital in the country should have been doing this a month ago.

praying for them.  at least they have test kits being flown to them so they can figure out who stays and who can disembark.



How do you quarantine the homeless?


Put them in a shipping container and shoot it into the sun.

Hell, why does anyone do any cruise?  Seems every year there's a story or two about some Norwegian rat virus or whatnot causing a massive shit and vomit attack amongst all the passengers.
