Two-week isolation ordered for all who enter Israel
There are now 50 people diagnosed with coronavirus in Israel.
By MAAYAN JAFFE-HOFFMAN   MARCH 10, 2020 00:15

All people entering Israel from abroad will be required to spend 14 days in home isolation, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday. The measure became effective at 8 p.m. Monday night.

“After a day of complex discussions, we have made a decision: Whoever arrives in Israel from abroad will enter quarantine for 14 days,” Netanyahu said in a video statement Monday as 50 Israelis were diagnosed with coronavirus. “This is a difficult decision but it is essential to maintaining public health, which takes precedence over everything.


The message came less than an hour after Israel’s Health Ministry announced that three more people were diagnosed with coronavirus: patients No. 40, 41 and 42. It also came two hours before patients No. 43 through 50 were announced.

“This decision will be in effect for two weeks,” he continued. “At the same time, we will make decisions to safeguard the Israeli economy.”

The Big Wobble by Gary Walton 3/10/2020

Twenty-seven people have died from methanol poisoning in Iran after rumours that drinking alcohol can help cure the novel coronavirus infection: 218 people had been hospitalised there after being poisoned

Twenty-seven people have died from methanol poisoning in Iran after rumours that drinking alcohol can help cure the novel coronavirus infection, state news agency IRNA reported on Monday. The outbreak of the virus in the Islamic republic is one of the deadliest outside China, where the disease originated. Twenty have died in the southwestern province of Khuzestan and seven in the northern region of Alborz after consuming bootleg alcohol, IRNA said.

Drinking alcohol is banned in Iran for everyone except for some non-Muslim religious minorities. Local media regularly report on lethal cases of poisoning caused by bootleg liquor. A spokesman for Jundishapur medical university in Ahvaz, the capital of Khuzestan, said 218 people had been hospitalised there after being poisoned. The poisonings were caused by "rumours that drinking alcohol can be effective in treating coronavirus," Ali Ehsanpour said. The deputy prosecutor of Alborz, Mohammad Aghayari, told IRNA the dead had drunk methanol after being "misled by content online, thinking they were fighting coronavirus and curing it

"If ingested in large quantities, methanol can cause blindness, liver damage and death. Iran has been scrambling to contain the spread of the COVID-19 illness which has hit all of the country's 31 provinces, killing 237 people and infecting 7,161. According to IRNA, 16 out of 69 confirmed cases have died of coronavirus infection in Khuzestan as of Sunday.

I guess they don't have warning labels on Wood Alcohol in Iran.   :thud:

Let me get this straight....

Consuming alcohol in violation of the teachings of the Prophet
( AKA: in defiance of allah, )
is going to keep them healthy?

Someone is really asking for their god to get them for that.

That's why they're drinking methanol instead of fireball whiskey.  Alcohol is a disinfectant so I'm safe from the Trumpvirus but drinking methanol will kill people on it's own.

What The Rest Of The World Can Learn From Taiwan’s Success Containing Coronavirus
At this critical period when the publicly feared coronavirus is amplifying in numbers worldwide, it’s clear the Taiwanese government has done something right in its containment measures.

By Helen Raleigh
March 11, 2020

By any measure, Taiwan should have been the second-hardest-hit area of the coronavirus outbreak outside mainland China. Taiwan is less than 100 miles away from mainland China and receives an estimated 3 million mainland tourists annually. Furthermore, more than 1 million Taiwanese travel to mainland China each year.

The expansive travel volume across the Taiwan strait reached its peak during the recent lunar New Year celebration in January, as it always has. Yet this densely populated island of 23 million people has only 44 confirmed cases of the virus to date, and just one death so far.

Taiwan hasn’t experienced the need to cancel schools nor lock down major cities. At this critical period when the publicly feared coronavirus is amplifying in numbers worldwide, it’s clear the Taiwanese government has done something right in its containment measures.

How did Taiwan do it? The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published recent findings crediting the Taiwanese government with recognizing the crisis early. Taiwan took swift and decisive actions, while Beijing and the World Health Organization (WHO) were busy downplaying the risks.

1. New Year is a major travel time, in Taiwan as well as China, as the article notes.

2. Immediately before that was a great deal more travel into Taiwan, as people with jobs in other countries went to Taiwan to vote in the recent election. (Including several of my coworkers).

3. There are many large international Taiwanese businesses that have facilities and/or work with contract manufacturers in China, including in the Wuhan area.

4. There is a LOT of business travel in and out of Taiwan.

So while Taiwan is much smaller than China, they have handled a lot of risk factors rather well, at times when information was VERY incomplete.

They didn't believe China's reporting is a key element. They acted in spite of the lies coming from China and their proxy the WHO. I would also guess Taiwan has a lot more knowledge of what goes on inside China's communist party than anyone outside the Taiwanese government is allowed to know.

As soon as Taiwan officials heard the news Dec. 31, however, they refused to take any chances. Based on their past experiences of dealing with another deadly virus outbreak, SARS, they took action the same day. According to JAMA, “Taiwanese officials began to board planes and assess passengers on direct flights from Wuhan for fever and pneumonia symptoms before passengers could deplane.”
...
Like the rest of the world, Taiwan wasn’t notified either, but the lack of information didn’t prevent it from taking further action. On that same day (January 5th), the Taiwan government expanded its health checks to include “any individual who had traveled to Wuhan in the past 14 days and had a fever or symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection at the point of entry; suspected cases were screened for 26 viruses including SARS and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). Passengers displaying symptoms of fever and coughing were quarantined at home and assessed whether medical attention at a hospital was necessary.”

The US started screening passengers arriving from China on January 17th.

Quote
While Taiwan could not rely on Beijing to provide timely and accurate information, it also received little help from the WHO. The WHO bowed to Beijing’s demand in stripping Taiwan’s access to the WHO since 2016. The Wall Street Journal reported, “The WHO has held two emergency meetings since the coronavirus outbreak. Taiwan wasn’t permitted to attend, despite its proximity to China and its handful of confirmed cases.” Consequently, “Taiwan often must rely on secondhand information relayed by friendly governments and nongovernmental organizations” to manage its response.

... On Jan. 20, three days before Beijing decided to lock down Wuhan and three other major cities comprised of 60 million residents, and 10 days before the WHO declared the coronavirus outbreak a public-health emergency of international concern, the Taiwanese public health agency officially activated the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC). The CECC was established during the SARS outbreak in 2003, and one of its main responsibilities is to coordinate viral-containment efforts through various governmental agencies.

The CECC’s swift actions included imposing travel bans of Wuhan residents as early as Jan. 23 ...

Reading deeply - and possibly incorrectly - between the lines, I suspect Taiwan got information directly from China, unfiltered by bureaucratic CYA. Meanwhile WHO's information and guidance reflected passage through that bureaucratic filtering. That is important context to the 12 days between when Taiwan started screening arriving passengers and when the US started doing so.

The US started refusing entry to foreign nationals arriving from China on February 2nd.

IMO, while the US should continue to receive info from and communicate info to WHO, the US should also get info directly from outbreak areas. Too many countries' governments do CYA and/or have very incomplete info themselves.

Taiwan likely has people on the ground inside China who report back to Taiwan. So they were far less dependent on the official Chinese channels of disinformation.

We should have known better too.
