Seattle Coronavirus patient has died (See Staff Post)

I swear he has more pockmarks now. He must be picking at his face.
i hate trump as much as the next guy, but what exactly is wrong with this particular clip?
As disturbing as it may be to consider, between people not being able to afford skipping work, fear of medical treatment due to high costs, and the mismanagement and crippling of the CDC, I think the USA is uniquely vulnerable to the epidemic far more than other countries. All it takes is one man or woman terrified of not making rent and reporting in for work for Uber, or Starbucks, and the virus spreads. Multiply that across major cities and I don't see how the USA can minimize exposure.
Companies can't suddenly turn around and say, "Suck it up, take the pay loss and don't make the rest of us sick," and hospitals can't suddenly start diagnosing people for free.
I'm really not sure how they came to that number either myself. The CDC reports 15 confirmed cases and 47 cases from individuals repatriated from Wuhan and the Diamond Princess cruise ship for a total of 62 cases. Worldometer and BNO's trackers both show 68 cases, but you'd have to dig through tons of notes to figure out what the breakdown is there. In any case, not sure how they got to 22; maybe there are more confirmed cases than the CDC has on their site and they're ignoring the repatriated ones? That's my best guess.
Or it's just hot bullshit, also totally possible with this administration.
How about the fact that just last night he called the virus a hoax and that he has been downplaying the seriousness of this for weeks saying that the USA is fine.
Also how about him saying that the victim was a "medically high risk patient" to cover his ass.
Do I need to go on?
Jake Tapper @jaketapperDr. Redfield of CDC says the American who died seemed to have contracted coronavirus from "community spread" -- meaning not from travel or from a known patient

Unfortunately yes, that is why the deadliest thing about corona is how easily it spreads.

Official Staff Communication
This epidemic is a serious situation and as such deserves a serious level of discussion. Please refrain from posting unsubstantiated information from unverified or disreputable sources, baseless conspiracy theories, or low-effort fear-mongering. Please also refrain from dismissive commentary surrounding the seriousness of the disease. Any comments failing to do so may be subject to moderation. Thank you.
It's wild that the virus is already out there in the public (which is the understanding I get when they say "community caught"). So there is probably no way that this doesn't explode into an epidemic in some fashion right? It doesn't just dissipate over time with people walking around already with the virus spreading it?
Ignore info from Trump or his cronies. Trust info from the state government.
I'm pretty sure Evergreen Health is in Kirkland or Redmond and the other 50 year old most people are talking about checked in to Overlake which is in Bellevue, so this would be a new person.
That nurse that died in Iran was 25 years old.
Death of a nurse and two other women due to Corona infection - NCRI Women Committee
Narges Khanalizadeh, 25 and a nurse, died at Milad Hospital of Lahijan on Tuesday, February 25, 2020 due to Corona infection. The tests of two women who died in Saveh were also positive. One of the authorities of Milad Hospital said Narges Khanalizadeh had died due to flu, but she had died due...

Well, the current assumption is it will subside towards spring/summer like the flu does. But yeah, it will be epidemic first.
I live 2 miles north of the Evergreen Hospital, lol. I also have my annual scheduled for this upcoming Wednesday at the facility right next to it. I'm not worried though, they seem to have that under control.
NPR @NPRThe coronavirus patient who died was, in fact, a man — not a woman, according to Washington state health officials. https://twitter.com/NPR/status/1233830748936949762 …

If I was living in the us, and saw trump act the way he is, even when stating the facts, which yeah is fucking ironic, I would now start stocking up on basic amenities. Even in blue rich states.
No need to go full pepper or spend 100s of dollars. But yeah go slow and stock up bit by bit in the next few weeks each time you go to the supermarket.
Guy is literally the shiftitest, slimy motherfucker I've seen on stage. I cannot for the life of me trust a word him or his cronies put out.

Good luck, man! If you need to, we'll take care of you in Omaha. ;)
A nursing home is a really bad place for a virus like this. Expect to see more deaths soon then.
It's probably like the worst place imaginable, except maybe like a shelter full of babies or toddlers. Because of my work in Social Work I often find myself in a shelter with babies and toddlers and they are always sick. I live in Phoenix and I can't help but think of the worst.
Heck I'm sick right now because I caught something from one of the kiddos last week.
It matters a fucking lot, actually.
Patient was smack bang in the middle of high risk groups. They had underlying conditions already known to put the thousands that have died at risk.
Male, mid fifties, underlying conditions, elderly.
If it was the other person, that would be very, very alarming.
They didn't say that it was the 19-year-old who had died. Read the article, people.
Trump needs to just STFU.
Trump needs to just STFU.
What the fuck man. The ineptitude of the people in charge of this is truly frightening. If they can't even report something as simple as the gender of the first death in the country correctly hours after the fact what will they able to get right?
I can just tell you, that's across the street from my apartment, it's in Kirkland.
Trump has fired many competent people in federal govt. in favor of people that are loyal to him, or in many cases just not filling the posts with anyone else.
He's also put a muzzle on independent researchers and medical staff from providing information about coronavirus, so the only info we get is damage control from the Trump admin.
This virus has a mortality rate of 2.5+ what's its R0?
So with it having a mortality rate bigger than the 1919 flu (which estimates put it at 2.0) and a president also downplaying it (Woodrow Wilson smiling from down below)
Do we really not learn from history? Booking our ticket to U.S. Samoa
Sigh but with a big dose of /s

Do you have a source on that? Just asking because I can't find anything.
Also, "greater Seattle area" often includes parts of Pierce and Snohomish counties (and even Kitsap).

FYI for some reason babies and toddlers are handling coronavirus very well. It doesn't hit them like it does the elderly.
President Trump Confirms 1st U.S. Coronavirus Death; U.S. Heightens Travel Warnings
A man in his 50s has died, according to Washington state health officials. It's the first death from COVID-19 in the U.S. The president defended the administration's response.
www.npr.org
That 0.1% is US only, not Global.
The Coronavirus mortality rate is a global rate.
You can't compare global rates to US rates for different illnesses.
