Actually, no. When you're caught up in a pandemic, healthy or not, you're stuck and you have to shelter in place.

I have no issue with the gov providing for those in the quarantine zone, assuming the chinese would let them, but by bringing home the Americans from Wuhan, the gov has GREATLY increased the probability we'll have the pandemic.

Traveling abroad means you are the mercy of whatever and wherever you are (re: US Marine in Russian custody as an example).

WTF?

Please quote the constitution where any lawful citizen is barred entry into the USA due to health concerns?

So you equate people’s health concerns with persons accused of crimes?

Dr. Kent Brantly, Nancy Writebol and Dr. Ian Crozier were three of four Americans who were treated at Atlanta's Emory University Hospital in 2014 and recovered.

Kent Brantly (born September 22, 1987) is an American doctor with the medical mission group Samaritan's Purse. While treating Ebola patients in Liberia, he contracted the virus. He became the first American to return to the United States to be treated for the disease.[1]

en.m.wikipedia.org...

Seven other people were cared for in the United States after they were exposed to the virus and became ill while in West Africa, the majority of whom were medical workers. They were transported by chartered aircraft from West Africa to hospitals in the United States. Six of these patients recovered, one died.[2]

Kind of get the feeling that San Francisco is not reporting their true number of cases.

Nationwide, less than 400 people have even been tested, as of last night. There are 80 million people in California, yet the CDC has only distributed 200 test kits to California's Health Department. The CDC is only allowing 12 pre-approved labs nationwide to run corona virus tests.

So yeah, California is not reporting all their cases, because they don't have the tests or the testing facilities to determine how many people are carrying the virus.

Thank you sookiechacha.

Made me realize that not only is California incapable of reporting the number of cases they have, because they simply don't have access to enough tests, but no state can report adequately. It's not just California. No state has enough tests.

Again. There are going to be people that will never seek medical attention because to them the Coronavirus will be nothing to them but a “normal” cold. And people can be tested several times without testing positive for Coronavirus while being a carrier.

How is the mortality and hospitalization rates this flu season any difference than other flu seasons? While including the stats from Coronavirus?
