Very happy that they're my local hospital, it took us less than 10 minutes to drive over yesterday. Many of the people that I see whenever I'm waiting for appointment are coming hours away, or even from another state for their services.
IMO the UW medical school and hospital have had a very rational and attentive response to this virus using public health expertise.
This tells me, that people are still traveling, but not cruising or flying. Likely local trips (Since Hotels are not really down)

This is what happens when the people do not/can not trust the government. And if the government does not inform and educate the people.
The people making these decisions need to be named and held accountable.
FFS... Disinformation is serious shit... Posting that kind of advice should be have serious consequences
Mildly...just self-quarantine and look for symptoms.
edit: where are you located? did they say where or how the employee might have gotten it?
Self isolate for 14 days I'd guess is the best advice.. certainly that's what is being said in the UK... Plus a call to 111..
Your countries advice may vary
nyc. no clue since the person wasn't a coworker of mine, just in the same building
Yeah, I am preparing to finish out the semester online and have told my students that although it seems unlikely at the moment, they should mentally prepare for the potential to finish out the semester online and, although I highly advise not to travel at all, to be safe, stay informed of the news, and constantly disinfect if they are going to be traveling during spring break.
Are you a person at risk a.k.a. older than 50 and with pre-conditions?
Yes, I woke up with a dry cough and slight itch in my throat this morning. Not helping!
I have plans to travel to Chicago for St. Pattys day this weekend and now feel very not sure about going. Thousands of people going this weekend and it seems like more cases by the hour. I know where I live it's only a matter of time until the first positive test result and I believe Chicago didn't have many positive results but still weary.
they just said go home? or did they say go home and don't come back for 14 days? or will they contact you? can you work remotely?
Portland - first positive in Multnomah County

nope, i'm in my 20s - but i did just have a surgery this week, which is why my work sent me home just to be safe
Someone sitting next to me in class today coughed for ten minutes, it was all I could do not to bail
Lot of friends here in NYC getting sent home/WFH for at least two or three weeks. Still nothing at my company but can see it coming soon.
Coronavirus scare at Albert Park Hotel on eve of Australian GP
A restaurant next to the Albert Park track is at the centre of a coronavirus scare after a 70-year-old Australian man, who has since been diagnosed with Covid-19, attended a function there on Saturday.

Couple positives not far from the Australian track where the Formula 1 should be starting regularly this weekend. At this point, maybe not.
My office is nothing but people coughing nonstop. I hate it. I need to get out of here.
Shouldn't it be older than 50 OR with pre-conditions? I'm 38 years old but I've got a leaky heart valve which is putting strain on my respiratory system. I'm definitely in the at risk group according to my medical team and will still be for a period of time following my surgery.
Winter is leveling off here in the Midwest which means allergy season is coming anyway.
I have to imagine that 99.9% of the coughs you'll hear are going to be from that in the coming weeks.
This older lady in the office has deputized herself as the official, "shouldn't you go home so you don't get everyone sick," --police
I asked her yesterday how she dealt with the 1918 flu, and she didn't like that one bit
Lol. Man, I laughed so hard in my little cubicle at work after reading this. Some much needed levity.
Prime minister of Jamaica just announced first confirmed case. Other rumors are circulating but all sound so scary they're all probably made up.
I'm being sent to Minnesota for a work thing for a week, starting this weekend. I'm 41 and don't have any underlying conditions I'm aware of (tho heart issues run in my family).
How fucked am I?

Just gotta be extra careful. This impacts the lungs. I have asthma and I'm a little concerned about that.
There have already been confirmed cases in NC, the Governor has already declared a state of emergency, and yet they are still going ahead with the ACC basketball tournament. This is a spectacularly bad idea.
New York City is so fucking infuriating.

This is going to happen more and more as testing increases. Next week is going to be absolutely crazy in the U.S.
Way under that percentage probably for fucked-ness. But the person can still be a carrier without being factually fucked.
The scary thing about COVID-19 is that it's pretty mild in a lot of cases and that keeps people reckless.
