CNN: Everyone residing in the township of Teaneck, New Jersey is being asked to self-quarantine due to COVID-19 concerns, Deputy Mayor Elie Y. Katz told CNN Saturday.
2/ "We are asking our residents to self-quarantine right now. It's not a requirement, but we are coming out with some very strict guidelines and taking precautions to make sure our residents are safe,” Katz said.
3/ The directive comes after the number of presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 more than doubled in Teaneck overnight, according to Katz.

Many of you already know this, but the spread of COVID19 in the US has been mirroring that of the spread in Italy, except we're about 10 days behind them.
Obviously we all hope for the best for Italy and also hope US doesn’t follow its tragic path. Here’s more on why some here are concerned about the similar patterns:

A Dem source familiar with negotiations explains this exemption: “It was a compromise. Democrats preferred to have something rather than nothing. That was the choice we faced.... Republicans didn’t support the mandate nor did they support leave for everyone....
2/“... It was a clear nonstarter for them. Secretary Mnuchin and Republicans refused to consider any leave policies whatsoever without a cap. While many large companies already have leave policies, the compromise was tailored to provide relief as fast as possible...
3/“... to virus-impacted small and medium businesses, who don’t always have leave policies.

“In addition to most large companies having sick leave policies, 12 states and DC have paid sick leave policies....

How can #Nephrology prepare for the unavoidable spread of #COVID? How can continue caring for our patients, with as little disruption of business continuity in a matter that does not increase risk for our patients, staff & ourselves?
This is ours (@UNMHSC) plan (long read)
First some background about our group: we direct 13 outpatient dialysis clinics *all over a very large state* (~700 pts, 15% on home dialysis), cover two hospitals (including the only Level 1 trauma center in NM), numerous CKD clinics, run a small transplant program, while also
teaching and doing research (both inside the division & in the 2 division sponsored research institutes). We number in the 30s, a figure that includes faculty/staff/fellows. Therefore a #COVID19 management plan has to cover the diverse roles & the diverse missions of our group

A really heartbreaking sight. The sacrifices from health workers in China have been immense.
This is the context of that video, reportedly related to the death of hospital director Liu Zhiming.
This is making the rounds, claiming to be Chinese escaping the country into Vietnam. I'm almost certain that it is misrepresented, and that this is not true.

If containment fails, and this projection comes true, the hardships that the world would experience during the onset of the first coronavirus pandemic would be hard to comprehended through our current eyes. A first for the modern world.
That’s further out, but if COVID-19 does break through to influenza scale, the benefit would be in a substantial population of immunity & antibodies. Those prospects are now where China is focusing. Antibody donation could improve outcomes; that’s moving from secondary priority.
The best outcome of a worst case scenario would be herd immunity. But, millions would die, medical infrastructure would be overwhelmed at even a fraction of the early generational spread, & the world would be on pause. Transfusion is not the golden ticket; you need a lot of infra

Unsurprisingly, more information was withheld by the Chinese government. COVID-19 had reached Guangdong by January 4th. Wuhan's lockdown only began on the 23rd. This is a probelm far bigger than Hubei and China.
Alternate reality: Theranos Ends Pandemic
It's so sad to read these stories of China's state of unrest. Trust is degraded. This is not a society that will return to normal with a snap of fingers and bans lifted. China is damaged, could be for years, & we're not even near the end of this epidemic.

Xi's latest appearance on a call with Trump this morning is a different story, merely parroting the "People's War" language that state media has orchestrated in recent days
This question has only deepened for Chinese and the world in recent days, with the tragedy only growing day after day, and Wuhan's whistleblower now fallen: where is Xi Jinping? time.com/5778994/corona…

@CDCgov While I wait for more info to develop in the coming days, make sure to follow @JaneLytv's fantastic coverage of the misinformation that is spreading:
@CDCgov @JaneLytv This is absolutely untrue and there is no reporting to validate it. What is happening in Wuhan is not related to a biological weapon, or a human-caused accidental release, and this emergent reporting of a Chinese national being removed from a Canadian lab is in no way related. Image
@CDCgov @JaneLytv This is trash reporting that is by definition fake news. The Wuhan coronavirus was not released by a lab, and there is no evidence to in any way suggest that. washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jan/…
