Against my better judgment and several beers deep, I have taken you up on this, potentially ending my streak of totally worthless posts. I have done 3 and 7 day averages only on the Worldometer data.

Understand. This type of procurement is easily modified and extended. 

Since it is State this would be for overseas missions. People in lockdown are under HHS or CDC. 

Possibly South Korea, since they are restricting US military and diplomatic personnel to their posts as much as possible.   I would assume we had a decent sized diplomatic staff there    

Also, other embassies, after the dumbass ambassador in Cambodia took his family on the cruise ship to greet people.

Embassies keep emergency gear for all personnel. This is getting ready to upsize I think.

BNO seemed to admit that they were having issues reconciling the China numbers. But the SK ones were really all over the place 

SK just tested like an additional thousand people, so I’m guessing they got the results.   That woman infected a shitload of people at that church.   She attended like 4 times, and it’s apparently a mega-church situation.

Where is all this Iran shit coming from? They non-reporting for weeks? 

That’s the thinking.  They probably thought they could contain it.   At least many of the countries surrounding China can get their shit together quickly on the medical front.  Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, etc. could be fucked.

That makes no sense.

It makes no sense why we’d do something that fucking stupid.  

But it explains why those planes made all those stops, and why a bunch of Americans who tested negative, were pissed off at having to fly with the infected.  I thought maybe it was just some paranoid folks who hadn’t got their tests back, or some low-level bureaucrat fucking up, but nope, they stuck them together on purpose.  

@Brisketexan and the other lawyer types, if they get sick for being put in with known infected people, can they sue anybody?

Yep..... Fucker was contained to the east, threw a head fake and is now moving west. The Iran clusters are bothersome. been talking to the BNO team and you are right, we all agree there is something quite odd in the past 48 hours. Shit, pretty soon every NCAA Basketball arena will look like ours.

“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was vehemently against evacuating 14 American cruise passengers docked in Japan on Monday after they tested positive with the deadly coronavirus, but that didn’t stop the State Department from bringing them home.
 

According to The Washington Post, over a dozen busses carrying more than 300 American evacuees—including the 14 sick travelers—from the Diamond Princess cruise ship waited at the tarmac of Tokyo’s Haneda Airport while officials in Washington debated whether or not to allow the infected to return.

The CDC’s principal deputy director, Anne Schuchat, was reportedly concerned about infection control. Department of Health and Human Services official Robert Kadlec pushed back, reportedly claiming officials equipped the two planes to handle sick evacuees: Infectious disease doctors would be onboard and 18 seats were behind 10-foot-high plastic on four sides for anyone who showed symptoms. 

Upon hearing of the State Department’s decision, the CDC reportedly demanded the agency be left out of the press release announcing that over a dozen infected individuals would be landing on U.S. soil.

The department released the statement about the sick evacuees an hour before they landed, and the CDC was not mentioned. Schuchat has not spoken publicly about the matter. This comes after the Diamond Princess cruise ship was vacated on Wednesday, but about 40 Americans from the ship remained hospitalized with the virus.”

Good point. It should still be safe to go to UT basketball games. Well, safe from getting sick from coronavirus. Too bad nothing can protect us from team AIDS.

@4th&Five if you still fly over there (you won’t), you need to team up with @RayDog and be our Surly news team covering the coronavirus in Asia.  

Once we add a few more people. It’ll look something like this, only you’ll be in hazmat suits
