Body language is complex and needs to be taken into account with many other factors to determine if you are interpreting it correctly. In general a shrug of the shoulder can mean uncertainty not necessarily a lie. In this case Trump made a statement about something that can go either way. The shrug could mean he has no idea which way it will play out. It can also indicate a feeling of being in a vulnerable position unable to help, they simply don't know what to do, frustration etc...

I do have to stress again that without more information making concrete deductions off one gesture is risky. What in general may mean someone is lying may just be a nervous tic for someone else...

I'm wondering who this person got it from, who else they may have transmitted it to, from where were they transferred, and whom else may have since contracted it from considering that they were transferred to the hospital on the 19th of February? They certainly would have had contact with several other people in the time frame from whenever they caught it to when they were transferred to the hospital.

Another thing I wonder about is the transport company which was contracted for this:

C.H. Robinson is an American Fortune 500 provider of multimodal transportation services and third-party logistics (3PL). The company offers freight transportation, transportation management, brokerage and warehousing. It offers truckload, less than truckload, air freight, intermodal, and ocean transportation.

Wikipedia

They seem to be a general transport company and not specialized for medical transport.

Things that make you go, "hmmm..."

Not sure if this has been posted yet.

The uk will be using drive-thru testing for Coronavirus: www.bbc.co.uk...

Video above shows how it works. Basically a medical professional approaches the vehicle in PPE, they then take a swab.

The reporter stated it will be rolled out across the NHS.

Technically not SARS but a sister to sars coronaviruses (whatever a "sister" virus is anyway):

"International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses" renamed it on Feb. 11 to this new name:

As for the virus itself, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses has decided on SARS-CoV-2, which “formally recognizes this virus as a sister to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronaviruses.”

globalbiodefense.com...

It hit the news so I can tell you now.

In my town.. Belleville illinois, acriss the river from St Louis and Scott AFB is here... just had a patient at the hospital ( memorial) who is being tested for Covid.

Off the record.. it was very differetn presentation than seasonal flu, which we have been slammed with and people are scared poo-less that what they have is covid. Well, there was no mistaking the severity and rapid rapid decline in this particular patient when they were brought in. It went from the hospital to Il Dept Of Health/CDC/iem.

Apparently - from the current numbers and situation - the vast majority have either no symptoms, or only minor ones.

So, focus on securing at risk loved ones!

Eh? COVID-19 = SARS? You mean the SARS that was previously contained?

Any details on age/underlying health conditions, etc?

What we are being told its SARS.. but more easily transmissible. SARS simply stands for Severe Acute Respi Syndrome. Theyre differentiating the names for the following reasons.. this is from WHO who has changed the name twice now. ALL of our protocols are the same for the two, but we have to call it and label it this new name.

From a risk communications perspective, using the name SARS can have unintended consequences in terms of creating unnecessary fear for some populations, especially in Asia which was worst affected by the SARS outbreak in 2003.

For that reason and others, WHO has begun referring to the virus as “the virus responsible for COVID-19” or “the COVID-19 virus” when communicating with the public. Neither of these designations are intended as replacements for the official name of the virus as agreed by the ICTV.

Material published before the virus was officially named will not be updated unless necessary in order to avoid confusion.

Travis AFB is there and the 200 quarantined were released Feb 5th so they probably picked it up from one of them. I’ve been saying 2 week quarantines aren’t long enough

According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, the state has tested 70 people for the COVID-19. Of those, two tested positive and results are still pending on two others. Coronavirus symptoms may include fever, cough and shortness of breath. The disease usually can cause mild-to-moderate upper-respiratory tract illnesses, similar to the common cold, according to health department officials. The Illinois Department of Public Health reports that people can prevent the spread of coronaviruses by washing their hands and avoiding close contact with anyone who is sick. News 4 is working to gather additional details and will update this story as information becomes available.

Yeah, those were the ones in CHicago.

This most recent one is in Belleville Il right across the river from St Louis. About 4 hours downstate from the cases in Chicago.

stock up on vitamin c and start taking a lot of it. China needs to be brought to heel.

and vit. D3!
Think that is even more important then C since you can't get it out of food

Expose your bare skin to sunlight. That will help.

The article talks about Belleville, but ya I see it. Seems legit. Sad to hear, stay safe and use your protective instruments.
