With the 12th case of coronavirus in U.S. confirmed today, here are some things I learned in my embed @SnoHD, a few blocks from where the first confirmed case was sequestered in a hospital isolation unit. What I saw was both inspiring and daunting. nytimes.com/2020/02/05/us/…
1) At least 69 people were potentially exposed to the coronavirus in the 5 days between when the man, 35, returned from China & when he was admitted to Providence Regional Medical Center. That includes fellow-passengers on plane, co-workers, people at clinic, healthcare workers.
How do they know this? Hollianne Bruce, one of 3 epidemiologists at the @SnoHD -- a public health dept. that runs on county and municipal funding -- interviewed the patient multiple times, with input from her counterpart at @KCPubHealth and @WADeptHealth.
