Thanks Maple Leaf:
Sound like those cruise ships are sailing under a Chinese flag. These cruise ships carry the upper crust of China population. Looks for some major changes and decisions making on the COVID 19 next week.IMO.

I think all US testing is being done at CDC in Atlanta currently is it not?

If you believe that the Coronavirus will inevitably spread to and maybe across the US, are you doing anything to prepare. I'm referring to things like loading up on food so you can self quarantine if things get bad in your community...

Started to feel a bit nervous when I saw Riverside County. (That is county where I live.) But relieved to read the person has not yet returned home.

Funny because less than an hour ago I told my sister on the phone that I wasn't yet feeling any concern about it.

Good topic for a stand alone thread.

Try finding n95 masks in the US. Not possible (well unless you want to pay 5x the amount to resellers that bought up the supply. I was at Lowes yesterday chatting with an associate and the problem they are facing is the tradesman that use these masks (paint, fiberglass, etc) can't even get their hands on them.

How will the press handle this when the first person in the US dies from Coronavirus? Will it be a 24 hour news spectacular or will they point out that 16,000 people have died from the flu so far this year? I'm betting on wall to wall coverage with no mention of flu deaths...

Ironically we had purchased n95 masks when the California camp fire hit. We took them on our recent trip to Europe but did not need to use. Glad to have them on hand just in case.
