Coronavirus: Asian nations face second wave of imported cases

I wonder if we are going to another wave of active cases after getting so many back home from Europe recently in the short window we gave them to get back to the USA?

I'm more concerned with the college kids going home after spring break. They aren't going back to college. They're going home to their older parents, grandparents, and communities.

Hundreds of prisoners are being released including some violent offenders...

One said it always feels good to get out... another said the public had little to worry because if they go back to crime they will get picked up.

Now SF is looking for on the spot hiring of 1000 nurses.

Tesla will suspend production...

I had the same thought went I saw the article below. They got a week at the beaches with one on one contact it seems. If they get on planes, trains and buses drag it back to their home states it is not going to be good.

Just learned TN (3 miles south of my house) has done next to nothing to limit social contacts and many from TN work at the local hospital and clinics.

There wasn't any "short window". They had all the time in the world. THEY decided they wanted to come home right now.

Seems like that might have been caused by a lack of clarity in the initial messaging on the matter ...

Sounds like a bunch of "panicked" people to me that wanted to get home.

No doubt ... what - or WHO - caused them to panic ?

Hmmm, interesting. I know our number of cases is 156 and 2 have died. Thanks for the link.

I'm glad I'm not still down there but I was born less than 1/2 mile as the crow flies from Clearwater Beach...

Most of the traffic will be either air carrier or personal vehicles right up Interstate 75...I talked to my brother (who still lives there in Pinellas Co.)...said at the time there were only 6 cases in Pinellas...

Watch and see if the cases along the I-75 corridor to the north does not increase exponentially with the number of cases reported in Pinellas Co/Clearwater Beach...

I think we all know the answer to that without answering and triggering Corona Virus #6 for another day or two.
