That's around an hour away from the first case like that. I'd doubt that the two cases are directly connected and would assume that we'll see more and more like this pop up in the next few days.

Does anyone have a link to that chart RDS showed a couple days ago with total cases by country then it showed amount of deaths, then amount of recoveries? I thought that was the cleanest chart of anything I had seen.

CDC director should personally call Iran and ask if they can loan us a few.

Y’all are going to love this story out of Hawaii

quote:

The state is changing its coronavirus protocol, making doctors first consult with a state investigator and getting approval before filling out a “Patient Under Investigation” form and collecting specimens. Always Investigating explains what’s changing. KHON2 was first to reveal yesterday that Hawaii doctors alerted the state to 8 cases they thought could be coronavirus. But the state did not send the specimens to the CDC for testing and discarded them, saying the patients did not meet the definition requiring testing.

When the COVID-19 outbreak started in Asia in January, Hawaii doctors were instructed to fill out a “Patient Under Investigation” form if a patient showed symptoms and had recently been in an outbreak area. The instructions specified how doctors should “as soon as possible send completed form to the Hawaii Department of Health,” then call to confirm they got the fax. Doctors were also instructed to “collect two (2) nasopharyngeal (NP) specimens as soon as possible.”

Always Investigating found out 8 doctors have done just that so far, but the DOH discarded the specimens. KHON2 asked Lt. Gov. Josh Green, a physician, what he thought about those 8 cases not getting tested by the CDC, and the samples being thrown out and declared not to qualify. “I think that we should send some of these tests over, and I think we should always trust the clinical physician in the community,” Green said, “unless there is someone who is very, very far outlying, no need at all.”

The Department of Health told KHON2: “A disease investigator contacted all of the physicians and, based on their discussions, the specimens did not meet the criteria for testing.”


quote:

DOH tells us that as of today, the protocol for flagging a patient is changing: First, the doctor will evaluate for flu-like symptoms and travel to outbreak areas but must call Department of Health investigators before any paperwork or samples are taken.

There’s still no way to test any specimens for COVID-19 except at the CDC on the mainland.

“We do expect to get the tests here, but not until mid-March, too late from my perspective,” Green told KHON2.




What the frick is going on?

I would be buying up toilet paper in Hawaii too

I interpret that as the second case of someone lying to avoid a quarantine.

And your opinion is that the fact that it has the ability to spread Is something the flu/cold can’t do?

Can’t resist when dealing with someone who thinks the planet having 7 billion people is some kind of global conspiracy.
