Westchester County Man Tests Positive for Coronavirus in NY’s 1st Possible Community Spread Case: Gov. Cuomo


A man who lives in Westchester County and works in Manhattan is New York state's second confirmed coronavirus case -- and the first apparent community spread case -- in the tri-state area, the governor said Tuesday.

Gov. Cuomo said an initial review of the man's travels doesn't suggest any travel to China or other countries at the nexus of the outbreak so authorities are looking at it as a possible case of person-to-person spread. Two families in Buffalo are also being tested.

The news comes as the city awaits test results for the husband of a New York City woman who tested positive for the novel coronavirus after her return from Iran. He is expected to also have contracted the infection, local and state authorities said at a separate news briefing Monday.

No further details on the Westchester man or his condition were immediately available. It's only the second confirmed case that the tri-state has seen -- and the country's fifth apparent case of person-to-person spread -- since the outbreak that has now killed a half dozen people in the United States and thousands worldwide.

Under the defintion of pandemic this is a pandemic. I read that it can survive on surfaces for up to nine days. Now that it is here it will always be around. Whether it becomes a recurring seasonal bug, who nows? If it isn't mutating how is it it can reinfect a person?

If it isn't such a big deal how much of China is still under quarantine?

If it wasn't bio lab created, then how did it spread so rapidly in China?

Dem Who “Cheered” Idea of Using Coronavirus on Trump Supporters Faces Calls to Resign
written by Paul Goldberg March 3, 2020

Candi CdeBaca, a Denver city council member and self-identified “democratic socialist” is facing calls for her resignation on social media after she cheered the idea of using coronavirus on Trump supporters at rallies in a tweet.

The original tweet CdeBaca responded to from Susan Daniel writes “For the record, if I do get the coronavirus, i’m attending every MAGA rally I can.”

Iran Releases Prisoners on a Temporary Basis to Halt the Spread of the Coronavirus
Prisoners who test negative will be allowed out as Tehran steps up its campaign to combat one of the worst outbreaks of the illness
Aresu bali and   Isabel Coles
March 3, 2020 9:02 am ET

TEHRAN—Iran is temporarily releasing tens of thousands of prisoners in an attempt to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in the country’s crowded prisons, as it struggles to contain one of the worst outbreaks of a disease that has already killed dozens of people and infected 23 lawmakers.

More than 54,000 prisoners have gone out on furlough after testing negative for the virus, judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili said Tuesday. He indicated that several prominent Iranian political prisoners and British dual national Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe would be allowed out.

Iran has ramped up efforts to contain the virus in recent days after accusations it was seeking to hide the extent of the outbreak.

I left my home in Wuhan for a weeklong beach vacation with my son and husband. Now we can't get back in — and we're giving up on trying.
Imani Bashir

Imani Bashir is a writer who was living in Wuhan, China, with her husband and their 3-year-old son.

They left for a one-week beach vacation in Malaysia in mid-January to celebrate Lunar New Year. But on January 23, Wuhan was officially locked down — and they couldn't go back.

The family spent a month in Malaysia, shuffling between hotel rooms and trying to figure out their next move.

Rather than wait to find out when they'd be able to return to China, the family asked their landlady to give away their belongings. Bashir's husband has since taken a new job in another country.

"Our attitude has been 'damn the stuff — we're healthy and together,'" she writes.

It didn't spread so rapidly.

Timeline of the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak in December 2019 – January 2020

WUFLU


1 December 2019

The first known patient started experiencing symptoms on 1 December 2019. He had not been to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market of Wuhan. No epidemiological link could be found between this case and later cases.[8][9][10]

8–18 December 2019

Between 8 and 18 December 2019, seven cases later diagnosed with Wuhan coronavirus were documented, two of them were linked with the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, five were not.[11]

12 December 2019

Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reported in a broadcast airing on 12 January 2020 that a "new viral outbreak was first detected in the city of Wuhan, China, on 12 December 2019."[12]

21 December 2019

Chinese epidemiologists with the Chinese Center for Disease Control (CDC) published an article on 1 January 2020 stating that the first cluster of patients with "pneumonia of an unknown cause" had been identified on 21 December 2019.[13]

24 December 2019

First publicly reported collection of virus sample from patient for genetic sequencing.[14][15][16]

Singapore's Ministry of Health (MOH) reported that the first case of what would later be named the 2019-nCoV (Wuhan coronavirus) had been diagnosed. It was later confirmed to not actually be related to the outbreak.[17]

25 December 2019

Report of medical staffs in two hospitals in Wuhan suspected to be infected and was being isolated around December 25.[18]

29 December 2019

According to a CDC publication on 31 January 2020, the facts leading up to the identification of the 2019-nCoV were as follows, "On 29 December 2019, a hospital in Wuhan admitted four individuals with pneumonia and recognized that all four had worked in the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, which sells live poultry, aquatic products, and several kinds of wild animals to the public. The hospital reported this occurrence to the local center for disease control (CDC), which lead Wuhan CDC staff to initiate a field investigation with a retrospective search for pneumonia patients potentially linked to the market. The investigators found additional patients linked to the market, and on 30 December, health authorities from Hubei Province reported this cluster to China CDC. The following day, China CDC sent experts to Wuhan to support the investigation and control effort. Samples from these patients were obtained for laboratory analyses."[19]

Lots of good info at the link. I 'like' this one.

New Cases in China outside Hubei

Due to discrepancies in the data reported by Hubei Province and China's NHC in the last two days, we are currently validating the Feb. 22 - Feb. 24 data. We will publish the graph again as soon as the data is reconciled.

This is the first article that I have read that states coronaviruses can live on surfaces for up to 9 days.  So this particular strain may live that long or longer.  That is concerning. 

Surfaces? Sneezes? Sex? How the Coronavirus Can and Cannot Spread

A delicate but highly contagious virus, roughly one-900th the width of a human hair, is spreading from person to person around the world. The coronavirus, as it’s known, has already infected people in at least 60 countries.

Because this virus is so new, experts’ understanding of how it spreads is limited. They can, however, offer some guidance about how it does — and does not — seem to be transmitted..........

...........Technically, the virus widely known as the coronavirus is just the latest of many similarly shaped viruses. (Coronaviruses are named for the spikes that protrude from their surfaces, which resemble a crown or the sun’s corona.) A study of other coronaviruses found they remained on metal, glass and plastic for two hours to nine days.

Whether a surface looks dirty or clean is irrelevant. If an infected person sneezed and a droplet landed on a surface, a person who then touches that surface could pick it up. How much is required to infect a person is unclear...........

.............Kissing could definitely spread it, several experts said. Though coronaviruses are not typically sexually transmitted, it’s too soon to know, the WHO said.............

Iran reports 2,336 cases of the new coronavirus, at least 77 dead; MPs hit hard

Quote
Iran on Tuesday announced new measures to slow the spread of the new coronavirus and reported that the country has seen 2,336 cases and 77 deaths since the outbreak.

An Iranian lawmaker reportedly has told colleagues to stop their contact with public as there are 23 cases of the new coronavirus among parliament members.

That's according to lawmaker Abdolreza Mesri, who was quoted by Iranian state television's Young Journalists Club program.

I'm having a hard time being sympathetic. Are the Iranians currently blaming Trump or Israel?
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Thousands wait for hospital beds in South Korea as coronavirus cases surge
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-southkorea/thousands-wait-for-hospital-beds-in-south-korea-as-coronavirus-cases-surge-idUSKBN20R05M

SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea reported 516 new coronavirus cases on Wednesday as thousands of sick people waited for hospital beds in Daegu, the city at the center of the worst outbreak outside mainland China.

The new cases bring South Korea’s total to 5,328, with at least 32 deaths, mostly in and around Daegu where the flu-like virus has spread rapidly through members of a fringe Christian group.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus: The Ethiopian at the heart of the coronavirus fight
By Imogen Foulkes BBC News, Geneva

What a challenge to be the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) in the time of the coronavirus.

The entire planet hanging on your every word, addressing daily press conferences at the headquarters in Geneva to detail an ever increasing number of cases in an ever increasing number of countries.

This is the lot of Ethiopian Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the first African head of the WHO, who took office two-and-a-half years ago promising to reform the organisation, and to tackle the illnesses that kill millions each year: malaria, measles, childhood pneumonia, or HIV/Aids.

Italy certainly has a lot of deaths. $12 billion being given by the world bank to combat the coronavirus is a good measure.

Coronavirus panic: Why are people stockpiling toilet paper?
By Frances Mao BBC News, Sydney

Perhaps the worst doomsday scenario is this: being stuck on the toilet and finding you're down to the last square.

At least that appears to be the nightmare prospect scaring many Australians right now, who have become the latest group to respond to coronavirus fears by buying toilet paper en masse.

This is despite authorities stressing there is no shortage - given most of the nation's rolls are made locally.

Read more at:  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-51731422

I actually heard that this was happening at a local Sam's, people were buying up a lot of household goods, specifically toilet paper and other items.

Marco Rubio: Russia, China and Iran are waging disinformation war over coronavirus
By Marco Rubio
March 3, 2020 | 2:48pm | Updated

Malign actors in Beijing, Moscow, Tehran and elsewhere are exploiting the coronavirus pandemic to sow chaos through conspiracy theories — most heinously, the notion that the United States created the disease. This should come as no surprise, as the ruling regimes in these countries want to deflect from their abject failures and rarely miss an opportunity to blame America.

The slanders are outrageous. But such disinformation also risks fatal consequences to the populations that receive it. To combat disinformation, we must identify the sources of deception campaigns, educate the global community and equip foreign governments to combat it.

Beijing’s official outlets, for example, have accused the United States of over-hyping the pandemic for cynical purposes, with a foreign ministry spokeswoman declaring that Washington had “taken the lead in imposing excessive restrictions.” American actions, she said, “could only create and spread fear.”

#coronavirus outbreak on #DiamondPrincess provides valuable guidance on why we should prioritize resources for elderly.

Of the 705 people infected:

-400 had no symptoms

-7 who died were all over 70

-30 to 40 elderly still in ICU

-Most of the rest felt terrible but recovered

Just this little factoid tells you a lot... facts are facts. I even heard them discuss it on the radio yesterday, it does seem to target the elderly and perhaps, if children don't have a strong immune system, them too but affecting 705 people probably means, it is at least, going around to everyone.

1. Don’t listen to crazy stuff online. Get the facts about how to prevent & treat #Coronavirus

https://cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/prevention-treatment.html

2. Don’t just show up at ER call your doctor or hospital before you go

3. Employers, don’t force sick people to come in to work

Probably some truth to all of this too.
