Yes and people are doing no service to the community when they use the deaths versus infections instead of cured. It makes this whole thing look like a nothing burger.... when obviously it is something.....

PORTLAND, Ore. — The Oregon Health Authority refuses to reveal how many people in the state are being monitored for the coronavirus, now called COVID-19.
Spokesman Jonathan Modie said “there is a lot of stigma connected to the virus right now.”
He added that withholding the total number of people monitored would “protect the privacy of the individuals we are monitoring.”
He also cited a state law, ORS 433.008, which he said means “any information obtained by OHA or a local public health authority in the course of an investigation of a reportable disease or disease outbreak is confidential."
KGW is not asking for names or addresses, only seeking the entire number.
In comparison, the state of Washington posts on their public website the number of folks being monitored.
And in California, the California Department of Public Health reports 7,600 people statewide are self-monitoring.
Knute Buehler, a leading Republican in Oregon who is now running for Congress, and happens to be a medical doctor, issued a statement on OHA’s refusal.
“In times of serious disease outbreaks, where lives are at stake, government health officials must go the extra mile to share information with the public. Unfortunately, our state government does not have a culture of transparency. Now is not the time to be holding information back. It not only breeds distrust; it could cost lives,” Buehler wrote.

Unlike Singapore, who has text alerts if you get within a certain proximity of a confirmed infected or quarantined person. They care more about preserving the lives of their citizens, rather than their feelings.

This isn’t an attack, a point source of instant death. This is just people dying by another flavor of nature. Has anyone compared these deaths to normal death rates of various causes?

A little thread drift but triple antibiotic ointment may get hard to find as I imagine the antibiotic components come from Asia. I’m guessing but perhaps cats are more popular now in cities because years ago, a scratch could cause major problems or at least expense from an apothecary. Country folk had knowledge and free access to natural medicines and probably a better inherited immune system for such things. I do not expect a long term shortage (years) but it may become unobtanium for at least several months. Summer and nicks and cuts are are arriving soon.

Stopped at the Farm & Fleet this morning for feed and a new battery for the 4-wheeler that finally went TU after 16 years. Don't want to do without that little workhorse in case re-supply gets sparse (or the batteries come from China...didn't look).
Anyway...WallyWorld parking lot, Aldi's etc. seemed normal for a Monday morning. People are still snoozing here, but doubt it will be much longer. I'm waiting on the next official CDC update. Should be "interesting". They are gonna have to start priming people soon.

From CNN's Manu Raju
All US senators will be briefed Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. in a classified setting on the novel coronavirus, two sources with knowledge of the plans tell CNN.

.
There will be briefers from the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Homeland Security, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of Health and the State Department, one source added.

FYI, I just had a delivery from UPS for some Amazon pantry items that were a good price. He had on latex gloves and had a mask that he slipped up over his nose/mouth before he walked up to our door. I saw that he pulled it back down again once he got back inside his truck.
I agree with this, but on the plus side, the recovered:dead ratio has been steadily improving. Was 4:1 a couple of weeks ago and now around 9:1. death as percentage of infected has remained pretty steady at 2-3%. If you believe the public numbers.

'Don't open the door'
(ANSA) - Milan, February 24 - Lombardy's Welfare Councilor Giulio Gallera on Monday warned the population living in areas in the northern Italian region affected by the outbreak of the novel coronavirus not to open their doors because there are looters dressed like Red Cross personnel.
"In the red area" affected by the spread of the virus "there have been people dressed with the Red Cross uniform who show up to do screening" tests, he said.
"They are looters who walk into people's homes, there are no Red Cross volunteers or other who have been dispatched for screenings", explained Gallera, urging the population "not to let anyone in if you have not requested beforehand the dispatch of ATS (Alto Trevigiano Servizi) personnel for exams".
