It's like everything lining up perfectly in the US for mass death from this disease.

Went by Mamoos by Macoya. Had around 10 people huddled under a small tent b/c of the drizzle. Half were without masks. Left yes!!!

When the borders open because it must at some point ..... and we have cases mingling. RIP Trinidad

But let it continue. And let it burn. America needs some reality at home.

not going to open for foreigners for ah while.. the locals who allowed in have to go in state quarantine so no threat to the public.. so is only whatever undetected local cases we have that not in quarantine and going out in public we have to worry about- hopefuly the lockdown woud have limited the spread

Laaaad you made a good move.
In that small area....stink breath, doubles breath, level halitosis, coughing, phlegm snorting, burping and teeth sucking.
Yuck!

Have those places EVER been essential?
Shudda remain closed indefinitely.

and it's not back to normal - social distancing will be in effect so only a portion of ppl can attend and they must wear masks
besides we have a Constitution in this country

Was there today and the previous guidelines were being enforced with spacing by cashier, sanitation of trolleys, hands and checkouts. I got to walk in freely so I'm not sure if they were limiting entrants.
Satellite data suggests coronavirus may have hit China earlier: Researchers
Researchers say surge in cars at hospitals may indicate outbreak in fall.

Counting cars: Satellite images suggest coronavirus may have hit China last fall
Counting cars: Satellite images suggest coronavirus may have hit China last fall
Harvard, BU researchers analyzed images that show hospital parking lots busier than usual.
Dramatic spikes in auto traffic around major hospitals in Wuhan last fall suggest the novel coronavirus may have been present and spreading through central China long before the outbreak was first reported to the world, according to a new Harvard Medical School study.
Using techniques similar to those employed by intelligence agencies, the research team behind the study analyzed commercial satellite imagery and "observed a dramatic increase in hospital traffic outside five major Wuhan hospitals beginning late summer and early fall 2019," according to Dr. John Brownstein, the Harvard Medical professor who led the research.
Brownstein, an ABC News contributor, said the traffic increase also "coincided with" elevated queries on a Chinese internet search for "certain symptoms that would later be determined as closely associated with the novel coronavirus."
Though Brownstein acknowledged the evidence is circumstantial, he said the study makes for an important new data point in the mystery of COVID-19's origins.
“Something was happening in October,” said Brownstein, the chief innovation officer at Boston Children’s Hospital and director of the medical center’s Computational Epidemiology Lab. “Clearly, there was some level of social disruption taking place well before what was previously identified as the start of the novel coronavirus pandemic.”
Since the outbreak in China last year, the coronavirus has swept across the globe infecting nearly 7 million and killing more than 400,000 worldwide, according to a count by Johns Hopkins University. It is believed that the virus jumped from animal species, where it had little effect, to humans, where it has become the most potent natural killer since the Spanish flu pandemic a century ago.
Though Chinese officials would not formally notify the World Health Organization until Dec. 31 that a new respiratory pathogen was coursing through Wuhan, U.S. intelligence caught wind of a problem as early as late November and notified the Pentagon, according to four sources briefed on the confidential information.
Because the origin of a novel virus is so hard to pin down but so critically important for scientists to understand, experts around the world are racing to uncover the secrets of the pathogen formally known as SARS-CoV2. The task for researchers is made far more complicated by the Chinese government’s refusal to fully cooperate with Western and international health authorities, American and WHO officials have said.
Brownstein and his team, which included researchers from Boston University and Boston Children’s Hospital, have spent more than a month trying to pin down the signs for when the population of Hubei province in China first started to be stricken.

The logic of Brownstein’s research project was straightforward: respiratory diseases lead to very specific types of behavior in communities where they’re spreading. So, pictures that show those patterns of behavior could help explain what was happening even if the people who were sickened did not realize the broader problem at the time.
“What we're trying to do is look at the activity, how busy a hospital is,” Brownstein said. “And the way we do that is by counting the cars that are at that hospital. Parking lots will get full as a hospital gets busy. So more cars in a hospital, the hospital's busier, likely because something's happening in the community, an infection is growing and people have to see a doctor. So you see the increases in the hospital business through the cars… We saw this across multiple institutions.”
The picture painted by the data is not in itself conclusive, Brownstein acknowledged, but he said the numbers are telling.
“This is all about a growing body of information pointing to something taking place in Wuhan at the time,” Brownstein said. “Many studies are still needed to fully uncover what took place and for people to really learn about how these disease outbreaks unfold and emerge in populations. So this is just another point of evidence.”
