Camp Roberts Ruled Out for Coronavirus Isolation Site

Cruise ship in Santa Barbara, one week from today, Wed. 4 March. Would a local State of Emergency (like S.F. did yesterday) prohibit cruise ships?

Today, "Beijing authorities have now changed the rules. EVERYONE returning to the city - whether it be from within China or from overseas - must go into 2 weeks of coronavirus quarantine at home. Previously those arriving from O/S were exempt." Photos of young doctors who have died in China from coronavirus. It turns out, examining patients with potential coronavirus can be deadly. https://twitter.com/StephenMcDonell

Drive-thru coronavirus testing clinic in South Korea. Innovation drives resilience. Instead of infecting doctors and front office staff, just have a drive up for testing temp and symptoms. Cottage, how about trying this? Scroll down: https://twitter.com/DrEricDing

County of Santa Barbara. Ready?

Cruise ships coming to Santa Barbara, those passengers get off ship tour. 4-Mar-2020 --Amadea Phoenix; 24-Mar-2020 --Grand Princess Princess Cruises; 6-Apr-2020 --Eurodam Holland America; 8-Apr-2020 --Star Princess Princess Cruise; 24-Apr-2020 --Volendam Holland America; 27-Apr-2020 --Oosterdam Holland America; 28-Apr-2020 --Maasdam Holland America.

In order to save on storage space and costs, most hospitals and pharmacies only keep enough medicine on hand for a few days, depending on daily deliveries to keep their supplies stocked. In addition, many life-saving medicines are now made in Asia (especially China). In a pandemic, deliveries will be interrupted or halted entirely.

China produces most ingredients for our U.S. medicines. If you need an important prescription re-filled, while supplies are still available, do so.

How many hospital beds, that could be in quarantine, does Santa Barbara have?

On page 353 of THE EYES OF DARKNESS by Dean Koontz, written in 1981, he talked about Wuhan-400, a virus that escaped the RDNA labs in China and was considered the perfect weapon, killing humans but leaving cities intact.

Naval Base Ventura County's Point Mugu location could host travelers who may have been exposed to the COVID-19 coronavirus, federal health officials said Sunday night.
Point Mugu "may receive American travelers coming through Los Angeles International Airport who, in an abundance of caution, would be quarantined to be monitored" for symptoms of the virus "based solely on their travel history," the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said in the statement.

Grocery stores have complete turnover of produce/products every 36 hours, based on a steady flow of customers. Grocery stores don't have huge inventory, they receive goods daily, truck deliveries, no big storage. If everyone decides on one day to go get bread and milk, it will take a couple hours to be all gone, shelves bare. It's not panic if you see shelves bare (on tv for instance); it's normal, increased flow of customers.

Exhibit 2, Page 15, -Suggested Local Government Action Checklist) says “The following are some actions that if applied, can assist local governments in addressing a pandemic”. Here’s #2: “Cities and counties should begin pre-identifying shelter or points of distribution centers; Identify Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant centers so that persons with disabilities could be taken to those facilities; coordinate planning with local transportation providers." This is from the State of California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services: https://www.caloes.ca.gov/PlanningPreparednessSite/Documents/StatewideConOpsforPandemicInfuenza%202009.pdf

Here’s a good link for comprehensive numbers on the outbreak. *** https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ *******This thing is picking up speed outside of China. Northern Italy and South Korea now have large numbers of infected. It looks like quarantines are ineffective, so this will eventually be in our laps.

CBS report today: "The city of Costa Mesa is seeking to block the transfer of up to 70 confirmed coronavirus patients from near Sacramento to the former Fairview Development Center." Maybe from Travis Air Force Base???

What is really making coronavirus hard to control is its ready transmission via oral/fecal/fomite routes. A mask won't help you there. Only vigorous hand-washing, strict 1-person towel use & self-preparation of all food can cut this route.

Things to wash: My car steering wheel, my kitchen countertop where I put my grocery cloth bags (that have been on the grocery store counter with many other peoples cloth bags before mine).

Good points 22224. To add to your list, the intake pipe for our desalinated water is close to the outfall pipe for sewage.

Keep your hands away from your face, particularly your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue.

Sewerage systems shared, apt dwellers beware (see video at 3:54). Dr. John Campbell's videos daily are the best and W.H.O. Director is a fan and gave him a shout out yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0mt-vtqRC0

"While the govts of USA & China accuse one another of having liars in their media, & of fomenting conspiracies, the entire world is facing a true pandemic that threatens to spiral wildly out of control. COME ON USA & PRC -- shut up with the tit-for-tat & work together to save All.” Good info & updated daily: https://twitter.com/Laurie_Garrett

7,000 people in California have been asked by the California Department of Public Health to isolate and monitor themselves "careful watch" for coronavirus symptoms, S.F. Chronicle newspaper.

We're being told to wash hands to prevent picking up coronavirus. Do how doctors/nurses do: (1) Soap up hands. (2) Rub palm to palm. (3) Rub between fingers. (4) Rub both thumbs. (5) Rub back of each hand. (6) Rub fingertips of each hand. (7) Pat dry with paper towel. (8) Turn tap off using paper towel.

Practical things you can do to protect yourself and your family. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkdPFCStA38 . Another good one by same doctor is Droplet v Airborne (infection) : https:/ /www.youtube.com/results?search_query=droplet+vs+airborne+transmission+

If you decide to spend more time at home, should the coronavirus become a local issue, make sure you have supplies needed. It's not rocket science. Focus. Right now, shelves are stocked at stores, maybe later won't be.

Wonder if SB officials will look at this an opportunity to now ban cruise ships stops in SB?? If so, there goes what left of State Street business

Still waitin' for the Zika, Ebola, Sars to come get me first! It started in a secret Chinese lab... No, it started in a market selling animal carcasses offensive to Americans... or wait, did it? Maybe it started in a secret Chinese lab next to the animal carcass market? But it's coming to a port near you! Be afraid!!!! Oh and hey, this pharmaceutical lab has a vaccine to sell to you.

My company has initiated countermeasures for the virus. The virus appears to be spreading like gangbusters in the right environments. It’s only a matter of time at this point before we’re dealing with it here. China is in bad shape, and it will probably only get worse for them. Ships are getting stacked up in ports because they cannot be offloaded.

Word has it the Diamond Princess is sailing from Japan to Santa Barbara due to the great climate & State Street nightclubs. Get ready.

I don't even want this cruise ship anywhere near our coastal waters. These ships are permitted to dump "treated" sewage into the oceans, and how effective that treatment is should be seriously questioned. I hope whatever agency responsible for overseeing this floating Petri dish forces the ship to dispose of its waste on-land using the most powerful oxidizers available.
