His daughter’s school has been exposed and the whole family is in quarantine. His son is a leukemia survivor. This just got real.

ON EDIT: I misunderstood, their family is not in quarantine, but my friends' kids have been told to stay at home and the school is closed.

1. We should all flood the White House with these stories, so they can see what they are wreaking.

Oh, never mind. They don't give a damn.

I sure hope your friend is not infected, but if he/she is, I hope he/she recovers.. the recovery rate is high for younger people.. It's folks like me and my husband, 73 and 77, that need to be very cautious.

4. Send them to the R Senators...

especially moscowMitch. Flood them with complaints and let them know they are also responsible for this since they voted to keep this fuckwad in office!!

6. I guarantee that they're aware of each and every one of them.

They're downplaying it, but they're fully aware of the situation. It's politically advantageous to pretend otherwise, but they know.

2. I really, really hope they are OK.

3. My co-workers sister is as well.

Sick person coming back from Italy attended a sporting event she was the referee.

5. My friend is 50, and I think in OK health

so he should be OK.

I decided last week to take my daughter out of school altogether - enrolled her in online school - since I've been ill and I have asthma - even though I'm just under 50, with my health issues and recent illness, I'm taking no chances that she might expose me to this thing. I'm teaching my classes online this week and will likely get permission to do so for the rest of the semester. Basically going into hiding.

9. That's very smart

The cases so far have all grown when one case is diagnosed. The person diagnosed feels OK at first, which enables the virus to infect others.

I’ve heard that outdoors the virus dissipates more and chances of contagion are diminished. So if you can it might be a good idea to open windows and let fresh air circulate.

Good luck and take care.

7. Correction. This just got real bad.

8. You are right

I'm so angry at this administration's sheer incompetence. They should have had tests ready to go - aggressive testing and follow up is the way the Chinese contained the spread outside of Hubei. It CAN be done, but only if you have leadership, and this country has not had it for over 3 years. God, I miss Obama. And Hillary would never have let this happen.

10. OMG. What city?

12. St. Louis

Apparently the kid's older sister recently returned from Italy and got sick and against medical advice but before official results, the parents sent the younger sister to school - same school my friend's daughter goes to.

11. The Trump Regime

The Trump Regime is criminally incompetent. Trump himself is a sociopath, and only cares how Coronavirus will impact the economy and his chances for re-election. I hope Trump gets the Coronavirus.

13. My third son, 38

is running a fever and has a dry cough. And he has no medical insurance He is in Sacramento.

14. I hope he is OK!

I ran a fever 3 weeks ago, developed nausea, then a dry cough and shortness of breath, now bronchitis that I'm struggling to overcome despite treatment. If I could get tested I would.

15. Thank you!

I hope you are ok too!
