A postal worker in Kings County, Washington is one of two confirmed people with #coronavirus. Another man in his 60’s has it, too. Italy announces 800 new cases, 13 more deaths. Australia confirms 1st death. Dominican Republic confirms 1st case. Ben Carson is added to task force.
Also the governor of Rhode Island, Gina Raimondo, says there is a first case in her state, but urges people there not to panic, because “the risk is low in Rhode Island at this point, and we have been preparing for this for weeks.” She told her people be careful and vigilant.
Delta suspends all flights between JFK & Milan till May 1st. You’ll be happy to know the Surgeon General (whoever that is) said “while the disease is serious, immediate health risk to the general public is “considered low.” Trump on Twitter says more travelers will be “screened.”
Mea culpa, I added an “S” to King County, Washington. Or maybe auto correct thought I meant Brooklyn. Anyway, sorry about that. Not going to take down the post for a typo.
