GUS just issued a, Global Level 4 Health Advisory – Do Not Travel which probably means they are going to close the US borders in a couple days. from the link: The Department of State advises U.S. citizens to avoid all international travel due to the global impact of COVID-19. In countries where commercial departure options remain available, U.S. citizens who live in the United States should arrange for immediate return to the United States, unless they are prepared to remain abroad for an indefinite period. U.S. citizens who live abroad should avoid all international travel. Many countries are experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks and implementing travel restrictions and mandatory quarantines, closing borders, and prohibiting non-citizens from entry with little advance notice. Airlines have cancelled many international flights and several cruise operators have suspended operations or cancelled trips. If you choose to travel internationally, your travel plans may be severely disrupted, and you may be forced to remain outside of the United States for an indefinite timeframe. On March 14, the Department of State authorized the departure of U.S. personnel and family members from any diplomatic or consular post in the world who have determined they are at higher risk of a poor outcome if exposed to COVID-19 or who have requested departure based on a commensurate justification. These departures may limit the ability of U.S. Embassies and consulates to provide services to U.S. citizens. For the latest information regarding COVID-19, please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) website. You are encouraged to visit travel.state.gov to view individual Travel Advisories for the most urgent threats to safety and security. Please also visit the website of the relevant U.S. embassy or consulate to see information on entry restrictions, foreign quarantine policies, and urgent health information provided by local governments. Travelers are urged to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive Alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency. The Department uses these Alerts to convey information about terrorist threats, security incidents, planned demonstrations, natural disasters, etc. In an emergency, please contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate or call the following numbers: 1(888) 407-4747 (toll-free in the United States and Canada) or 1 (202) 501-4444 from other countries or jurisdictions. If you decide to travel abroad or are already outside the United States: Consider returning to your country of residence immediately using whatever commercial means are available. Have a travel plan that does not rely on the U.S. Government for assistance. Review and follow the CDC’s guidelines for the prevention of coronavirus.

BillsFan4 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Are there any experts who think things will be back to normal in a couple weeks? If so I must have missed it (but would LOVE for it to be true). Dr. Fauci said that there is no doubt the U.S. is still in the escalation phase of this virus. Testing still isn’t wide spread so it’s tough to properly contain. Many people still aren’t respecting the social distancing guidelines. Some states aren’t even taking any measures yet. 7 states have no bans on gathering size, no restaurant or bad closures, no state mandated school closing, etc. Dr. Fauci said that we will see this spread unevenly throughout the country. You’ll see states hit hard at different times (like Washington state was hit and like N.Y. is being hit right now (hospitals are being hit hard in nyc, 2 big medical ships are on the way to help with the overflow of expected cases in coming days)). I feel like it would be an absolute miracle if things are back to normal in a couple weeks. Dr. Fauci said it’ll take several weeks just to see what impact the social distancing measures have on the virus spread. I pray that things go back go back to normal soon, but I am not very hopeful.

BillsFan4 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) I like Foxx’s idea, If you can limit it to a section of the house that you can then clean/disinfect afterwards. The way I look at it - I know what precautions I am taking. I know what precautions those in my household are taking. I DON’T know what precautions other people are taking. So you have to kind of have faith they are taking the recommended measures. What are they doing when they’re not working at your house? That’s my concern. Personally, I am limiting my contact with those I don’t know/trust as much as possible. But I have high risk family members I’m in contact with daily.

Washington got the memo on social distancing and acted on it earlier than other places. Less public transportation. More of a work from home economy. Could be a lot of reasons for its leveling on new cases (not that a linear progression is great either). NY's case rise is much more dire. Same with NJ and the Philadelphia area.

And then you re-open with massive testing and (of course by then) awareness because it's easy to just fall back into the exponential growth trap. 10 weeks only works if people abide by it. And even with this, we will likely see more waves as is predicted in the Imperial College report. God knows when we will allow people back from other countries. A looooooooooooooong time thereafter.

I don't think it needs to be quite 10 weeks, but to shorten it requires what China is doing - they are testing EVERYONE with fever, and they have devoted huge resources to contact tracing in a very boots-on-the-ground way combined with "Big Data" - they are harvesting everyone's cell phone tracking data to determine who might have been in contact with a diagnosed covid-19 case. Can read about the contact tracing here, I only have indirect sources on the "big data" harvest though it's referenced here (which is a cool article in its own right). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus/minus, yes I do - at least as of a few weeks ago. They let a big international commission into the country and let them spend two weeks digging into what they'd done. I don't know if I trust "no new cases". The key point is that it's not that China just suddenly announced the case counts diminished. They have been invading everyone's privacy BIG TIME, and putting huge resources into contact tracing and aggressive testing. They are now quarantining all incoming foreigners for 14 days - they stick you in a hotel room and bring you a meal 2x a day and there you stay!!! I also think there is enough contact with people who have family in China and work in US that if something were massively discordant it would come out. I know a physician working Shenzen, for example, she communicates to relatives and friends in US regularly. I don't like it that China is throwing out some US journalists, though, even if it's retaliatory. Another key point is that Democratic countries like Taiwan and Singapore that instituted similar measures never saw an epidemic flare from the cases they got, and S. Korea (also similar meaures) seems to have it under control. So there is reason to believe if China is doing similar, they will see similar results. 5 minutes ago, jburt2625 said: Not at all.

KD in CA Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Seems like we're getting slightly worse compared to the crowd, including the UK where they have (until very recently) taken the stance of '***** social distancing'. Considering we're also still way behind on testing, I assume this graph is only going to get much worse. Also concerning that no western country has yet hit the 'flattening'. btw, how is this not rampant in places with huge, poor, densely populated cities like India and Mexico?
