re: Alabama Board Coronavirus Thread

More and more anecdotal evidence pointing to coronovirus sneaking into the US as early as January. A couple of cases even suggest December.

California has a CONFIRMED Covid-19 death on 6-Feb.

That's the day she died, not the day she was exposed or developed symptoms. She also didn't have any travel history that would have suggested she was at risk of exposure.

It is a 100% certainty that she was exposed and infected via community spread in California - not Washington state - no later than the middle of January.

CNN story

If it was in community spread in Cali at that time, it was in community spread in other major cities too. I honestly don't think any curve was flattened much at all. I think what happened in New York was that rocket shot graph that showed what would happen if few or no mitigation steps were taken. By the time anyone at any level, local doctor to WHO and everyone in between, it was already too late.

The WHO says it warned the US of POSSIBLE human to human transmission on 10-January. despite tweeting later that week that it wasn't spread human to human. On 10 January, a 57 year old woman in Santa Clara, California was already dying from it.

In tRant terms, when the WHO claims they first said y'all might want to watch out a little, it could be coming your way antibodies on the west coast for sure and almost certainly nationwide looked up and said:

Our local health care people are starting to sound the alarm for Bay County. Hospitalizations due to COVID19 are rising and capacity is limited. Elective surgeries are going to be postponed starting next week. That’s not good news as we had one of the lowest case totals in the state but it’s been rising steadily and has tripled in the last 30 days.
