3. This is exploding quickly....

They are only testing a very small, very sick, slice of patients presenting symptoms. The virus isn't being contained.

Remember the John's hopkins map a few weeks ago, after the virus was first tracked? China's map looked a lot like it does for the us today. We are about 8 weeks behind them.

One big difference is they took draconian measures to seal off wuhan, where the virus was most prevalent, as well as other hot spots as they presented themselves. Travel was impossible. Some people had the doors to their buildings welded shut.

We aren't even acknowledging the problem at the fed level. States are taking the brunt of testing and isolation. But travel continues normally.

This is very scary right now. In 8 weeks, this will be a much different country.

8. I know..

5. I think its bike week in Daytona

Im guessing tho the virus has something to do with the Embry Riddle, the school

[dewsgirl]

10. Yikes, how stupid of them to go forward with it.

I think there are cases throughout Florida.

14. It started a week ago

It might be over. It really never ends
I called it bike month when I lived there

[dewsgirl]

18. LoL it's till the 15th. I have lived in Vero Beach my whole

life and have never been to Bike Week.

6. Returned from where?

these people don't understand transparency.

[dewsgirl]

9. Not at all, a man died yesterday from the next county over

Santa Rosa county, I believe he came back from Italy.

12. Some details would really help but...

...the little people don't need to know f...em as they say in repuke land.

What country the person visited, and what institutions are related to a case, may affect a person's choice of activity, what hospital or health care institutions to go to in need etc.

[dewsgirl]

15. Yes, having a grandchild in the school system here

I would like some more info.

19. Keeping people in the dark is not helpful during an epidemic

You could walk right into the place where the problem is. I guess that's what they don't want. Patterns of commerce interrupted. But there is no avoiding it.

DeSantis is talking about containment. The Health Dept web site says they've only done 188 tests while monitoring 1010 people. The tests are still being treated as a scarce resource they can't afford to use liberally.

20. It's all terrifying and bullshit.

13. Is that the guy that they didn't want to reveal where he lived?

Which means the entire county's stress level is on the rise?

BTW, thank you for keeping us informed.

[dewsgirl]

16. I don't know, having a hard time keeping up.

11. Stay safe dewsgirl!

I'm okay so far - more worried about my dad, he is at Century Village and I am afraid if one senior gets it , it will become a nightmare.

[dewsgirl]

17. My husband, 16 yr old son and most of my life are in

Indian River County. I know what you are saying, I hope you dad will be safe. You take care of yourself as well.

21. Orange is now sandwiched

24. Just watched the DC presser.😳

[Phoenix61]

22. Great , getting closer. nt

23. Here is some additional detail, not much

Volusia County has its first presumed case of coronavirus, multiple sources confirmed Saturday night.

“I got a call from the governor’s office about 30 minutes ago,” Florida state Rep. David Santiago, R-Deltona, said at about 7:35 p.m.

“It’s a 60-year-old female who had recently traveled abroad,” Santiago said. “She’s in quarantine.
