“I am concerned about government offices that cut checks. Tax returns. Getting meds and to doctor on bus. Seniors getting food. Caregivers.”
Two days later, we read;
“A nursing home in Washington state is being closely monitored after five residents and a staff member tested positive for the coronavirus, one man died and more than 50 others showed respiratory symptoms, according to state health officials.”
The sixth death happened in Snohomish County, said Heather Thomas, spokeswoman with the Snohomish Health District.
So far, every death from novel coronavirus in the United States has been in Washington state.
A recent surge of cases nationwide has prompted new travel restrictions, school closures and emergency declarations.
But now is not the time to panic, US Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams said.
“I want folks to understand that we knew this was coming, we told folks that this was going to happen and it is why we’ve been preaching preparedness from the very start,” Adams said Monday.
The first coronavirus death in the US was confirmed in Washington state on Saturday.

For several months I have not posted on The Republican Disaster, because all I had to say, is….I TOLD YOU SO! YOU LIVE WITH IT….as I have been living with it – FOR YEARS! The alarm I felt put me back in therapy. They attacks on me BECAUSE I SAID I AM A PROPHET, are real, and recorded. They compose real history. The evangelical church collets close to a trillion dollars for spreading a false prophecy. Perhaps they, and the Republican Alternative Government, should hire alternative prophets and put them in a trailer on church property, because TRADITIONALLY we are poor – and unbelieved. They tried to throw Jesus off a cliff minutes after his ministry and mission, began. Can you find one minister today who points to this – truth?
There is always something OVERLOOKED! I sidelined myself, isolated myself. Then I read a question from Jerry Rust. He lit my fuse. I was off like a rocket on February 28th. Below are my posts. I have started a group that I hope becomes a THINK TANK.

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said Sunday that, when it comes to coronavirus, it’s important to “treat the American people like adults.”
“It’s very important that we treat the American people like adults and explain to them that we don’t know where this will go, that we will see more cases, that we will see continued community spreading in the United States, as we’re seeing around the world,” Azar said on ABC’s “This Week.”

The coronavirus has been circulating undetected and has possibly infected scores of people over the past six weeks in Washington state, according to a genetic analysis of virus samples that has sobering implications for the entire country amid heightening anxiety about the likely spread of the disease.

REDRUM. Steven King. Is it possible the plan was to play down the event at Travis by not putting protective suits on the Greeter Cheerleader team the have them go back to many places

The homeless eat at churches and the kitchen. They gather to eat. There are transients. They may have to be isolated in several warehouses and screened. Millions live from paycheck to paycheck. If they can not work therr needs to be a plan to put evictions on hold backed by funding -
When I lived with loggers up river in the 70s we talked about what we would do in an end of the world scenario. The first thing to be done was fell trees at both ends of 126

Glad to see this. I’ve wondered about meds when insurance companies won’t pay ahead to let one have some in an emergency situation. I took the CERT class 20 years ago, but the supplies I kept then are rather scattered, the jerky etc. gone. Need to refocus. My departed husband, David, was ill when I saw there was a new class. Ready to restock. Not up to being a CERT volunteer any more. Hope I can be a part of this group. Kudos, Jerry and friends. -
