It mentions using Walmart stores for disease outbreaks.
Proponents have cited a contingency plan (Rex 84) drafted in part by U.S. Marine Colonel Oliver North calling for the suspension of the Constitution and the detainment of citizens in the event of a national crisis. This was aimed at left-wing activists, not the libertarians and right-wingers generally associated with FEMA theories. This has been linked to a 1970 document by Louis Giuffrida (years later, the director of FEMA) calling for the establishment of martial law in the event of an uprising by African American militants and the internment of millions of African Americans.
Project 908 saw FBI agents, working effectively undercover for FEMA, detailing large warehouses, automobile facilities, Masonic temples, Elks lodges, casinos, camp sites, Coca-Cola bottling plants, Indian bingo halls, country inns, furniture stores, and other potential relocation facilities. In Arkansas, agents lined up a meeting with Walmart executives to discuss using the company’s huge stores for Project 908, explaining as a cover that they wanted to learn crisis management techniques from companies that had large centralized leadership.

Not a good sign. I note that she is now in the hospital, does that imply not mild case?
It's possible then the virus was at her house and remained on the surfaces till she returned and it reinfected her...
What if she had infected food in her refrigerator or freezer? Either would extend virus survival.
Or, I know I have reinfected with strep from my toothbrush. (That is when I learned to dip my toothbrush in moonshine af the end of antibiotic course.)

The developments today:
NY State announces that they've developed their own public testing labs for coronavirus, validated the tests, and it's being held up by the FDA
CDC gets harangued by experienced doctors at UC Davis into testing a critical pneumonia patient with no connections to existing cases.
CDC initially denied the request, but then gave in. It's positive. The patient contracted this in the US WEEKS ago
The supposed community testing that the CDC announced is actually still being blocked, per those same UC Davis doctors Fully knowing this, the President schedules press conference and fails to acknowledge that this case exists, nor that community testing is still being blocked
The president puts a politician, not a doctor or scientist, in charge of the whole coronavirus response without even telling the head of the coronavirus task force

Another question: Did she have a cat? Might she have passed it to the cat and then gotten it back?

The message Trump gave was about as good as we could expect, hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
On the issues of testing a lot of work needs to be done here. With the media reporting that one man gets charged $3600 just for a test, only in America I guess. With this kind of health care it makes a good recipe for high epidemic levels as people are just too reluctant to even check. With nearly a million people a year going bankrupt due to health care cost it does create a strong barrier to effective containment. Those with the money or good health care plans will have a better chance in getting the quality care required.
With the way the government is playing this, the true numbers will most likely never be known. There are lots of reporting tricks to reduce the numbers, diagnosis of pneumonia, kidney damage and heart disease for example.
The medical journal JAMA released a paper this week analyzing data from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention on 72,314 coronavirus cases in mainland China, the figure as of Feb. 11, the largest such sample in a study of this kind.
The sample’s overall case-fatality rate was 2.3%, higher than World Health Organization official 0.7% rate. No deaths occurred in those aged 9 years and younger, but cases in those aged 70 to 79 years had an 8% fatality rate and those aged 80 years and older had a fatality rate of 14.8%.
No deaths were reported among mild and severe cases. The fatality rate was 49% among critical cases, and elevated among those with preexisting conditions: 10.5% for people with cardiovascular disease, 7.3% for diabetes, 6.3% for chronic respiratory disease, 6% for hypertension, and 5.6% for cancer.
The latest China-based study, which was not peer-reviewed by U.S. scientists, found that men had a fatality rate of 2.8% versus 1.7% for women. Some doctors have said that women may have a stronger immune system as a genetic advantage to help babies during pregnancy.
The Chinese study is likely not representative of what might happen if the global spread of the virus worsens. In China, nearly half of men smoke cigarettescompared to roughly 2% of women, which could be one reason for the higher death rate among males.
