[QUOTE=woodtoo;2574659]Not even one death per State now. Whatever is being done is working.
Personally, I think it is awareness and self-isolation which could be called quarantine.
I hope this blows over.

Yes, doing your best not to intermingle with others is rule #1.
It is our main weapon against spreading that we have available.

Event 201 was a 3.5-hour pandemic tabletop exercise that simulated a series of dramatic, scenario-based facilitated discussions, confronting difficult, true-to-life dilemmas associated with response to a hypothetical, but scientifically plausible, pandemic. 15 global business, government, and public health leaders were players in the simulation exercise that highlighted unresolved real-world policy and economic issues that could be solved with sufficient political will, financial investment, and attention now and in the future.
The exercise consisted of pre-recorded news broadcasts, live “staff” briefings, and moderated discussions on specific topics. These issues were carefully designed in a compelling narrative that educated the participants and the audience.
The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, World Economic Forum, and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation jointly propose these recommendations.

Why has not a single health care worker, nurse or doctor been infected yet?
There are thousands of them on the front lines daily for months and not 1 infected or under quarantine?
The odds of that are staggering.
Is this a huge planned hoax? And who was/is behind it?

San Fransico has basically imposed martial law on its citizens.
With only 40 infected and 0 deaths. WTH.

ONE health care worker infected, time to shut down all hospitals and send everyone home, there could be lawsuits.

I am lucky enough to work for a major corporation who is allowing me to stay home with pay and avoid people.

I wish I had a drive thru. Noon today laying off about 40-45 people.
I have an option to opt out of my franchise over the next ten days (just happen to be renewal time) so I am going to be looking at things hard.
I think my wife is going to want to stick it out though. I don’t think I’ll go bankrupt (depends how long this lasts) but I’ll be clawing my way through......business wise.
