News today is that the entire 50,000 student UW campus has shifted all classes to online learning at least until spring break.

Lack of national leadership and direction on this crisis seems to be resulting in each local institution just figuring it out on their own. This will not end well.

Seems there should be other options...

Why are we (USA) not buying test kits from S Korea?
(USA = 472 tested(2 mar 2020) / 239 cases _)
(S Korea = 110,000 tested; 6600 cases_)
(Italy - 23,345 Tested; 386 cases)

As World Health preparedness, I would expect neighboring countries would be doing testing backlog for each other.
Technology could solve this, once test kits are physically available.

All the test have still not been run for the Clark Co patients. So there could be more. I hope not.

Trump calls our governor a "snake." Didn't want Pence to "complement him."

To me it sounds as if WA is working hard without too much support from the Feds, till recently, to contain the virus.

The University of Washington virology lab at the UW Health Center is now testing over 1000 coronavirus samples per day and ramping that up four-fold over the next week. Despite the dithering in DC, Washingtonians and our institutions are taking charge and moving forward.

Oh, do rest assured there are a lot more cases. In WA and in CC.

USA stays at the bottom of the 'testing' rankings. Not a good place for a developed (?) nation. Maybe we can retain the status, minus health care availability or affordability, or accessibility.

My, what a lovely time to be moving to Vancouver Washington!
Will be moved in to our new apartment in a little over 2 weeks. Feel like I'm entering the belling of the beast!

Of course the reality is no place is safe... eventually it will be in every state. This is a nasty nasty bug!
