Coronavirus:

[robert.]

Taking a quick glimpse at the charts. I appears to spread from airport areas. Philly and Newark airport areas show a heavy concentration. Probably don't need to be a rocket scientist to see that. Nj started to issue fines. People were having house parties and picnics. Philadelphia is still fighting with the owner of defunct Hahnemann hospital. That building is empty. 500 beds. The landlord wants 1 million a month. philly's mayor said "to high" landlord said "ok 910,000 a month" Mayor "f**k you"

The Closure of a Historic Hospital Is an Ominous Warning Sign

Hahnemann Hospital, which once served the city's poorest patients, closed in September 2019. The hospital had been suffering millions of dollars in losses a month, Mr. Freedman told The Philadelphia Business Journal last June.

Thanks, Rufus. You answered my question.
My New York example could have been any city or state.

......the owner of defunct Hahnemann hospital.

Idiot. Things have really changed - used to be one of the 5 leading medical institutions of Philly.

Mayor (and Gov) just needs to commandeer it and confiscate the property - state of emergency.

Founded in 1848, the hospital was dependent on low payments from government-run programs because it served the city's sickest and poorest residents. Under the management of its former owner, Tenet Health Care Corp, one of the largest U.S. hospital operators, Hahnemann posted 14 straight yearly losses.

Very aware of the hospitals in Philly; nearly went to med school there. Once upon a time, the health system agency for the 5 counties of Philly used to meet at my families kitchen table.

Wait till he tries to turn that building into condos. He'll probably never get a permit.

They'll condemn it and raze it.

Chris,
It sounds as if you may be in Georgia also. At last report Bryan County had four cases.

Georgia's data is here:
Georgia Department of Public Health COVID-19 Daily Status Report
The page is updated at noon and again at 7 PM each day.

Bryan County now has 7 confirmed cases. Also note that DPH's table has a "Unknown" row at the bottom, so the number of confirmed cases in your county be higher.

Unlike last Saturday, it's pretty quiet around here today. We've only had eight or nine cases here in the county, but then we only have ~ 170,000 people here. Still, I would have thought, being just 25 miles from Baltimore, we'd have a few more. Regardless, I'm thankful. Laying low and I plan to stay that way.

Ramping up here now. A nursing home in my county just 18 miles down the road blew up overnight with nearly 70 infections, and the number statewide will probably have tripled by tomorrow morning. I'm beginning to think avoiding this is futile.

Before shitting your pants, consider how slow we've been to test. I have yet to see a roadside testing station around here, like one sees in South Korea.

The USNS Comfort will sail to the epicenter of the U.S. coronavirus outbreak in New York to ease the burden on distressed New York area hospitals responding to the growing level of patients infected with the novel coronavirus.

The ship has 12 operating rooms, a medical laboratory, a pharmacy, a helicopter deck and 1,200 medical personnel aboard

Trump spoke with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo Saturday morning about the response and also granted his request for four additional medical response sites in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and the Bronx that should have 4,000 additional beds, Cuomo said earlier. The USNS Comfort should arrive in New York Harbor on Monday with up to 1,000 beds.

Doylestown hospital has 3 quonset huts set up with 40 ft trailers for power and clean air. Nobody inline to use them yet. Philadelphia's sports complex has Penna task force 1 set up. some of the nicest trucks and tents i have ever laid eyes on. I don't know where they came from or how they remained so clean. Philly's is packed during the week. Closed during the weekend.
