NH 2nd presumed case was told to self quarantine.

Instead went to Vermont and attended an event.

All those people at the event have been told to self quarantine.

And so it goes.

5 cases in Houston area.

From the article (emphasis mine):

All five patients returned from a trip to Egypt in late February where officials say they contracted the virus. They didn’t show symptoms immediately and so they went about their business as usual for a few days, officials said.

The presumptive positive cases are all considered actionable, officials say. This means the patients’ tests were conducted and confirmed as coronavirus by a local lab but officials are waiting for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lab in Atlanta to confirm the test results.

Officials are working to determine who else was on the trip with the five patients. As of now, 17 members of the Rice University community are under self-quarantine and 10 people who came in direct contact with the patient from Fort Bend County are also under self-quarantine.

I had a doctors appointment on Wednesday trying to get my BP under control. After he added to my meds, he asked about my wife and told me she needs to be very careful due to her COPD. When I said she had a cough she couldn't shake he immediately made an appointment for her for yesterday. He told the lady making the appointment to squeeze her in irregardless. She went, had chest x-ray, blood work, and nasal swab. He told her that she was now homebound until the results from these tests came back, not because she was contagious, but because if she caught it, she would die. I guess he expedited the test results because they came in last night. He called her and said she had a touch of pneumonia and she was to stay at home unless absolutely necessary and if she had to go anywhere, she was to wear an N95 mask and sanitize her hands after touching anything. He told me that if she got cabin fever to take her for a ride and not on the Harley

2 baggage handlers at Heathrow Airport in London have tested positive for the virus.

I went to the med center in Houston yesterday to get quickly caught up on Doctor appointments before the virus is really out in the open in Houston.

Got on to a crowded elevator and realized it wasn't a moment too soon.

Getting my haircut today.

A game for everyone to play while home under quarantine.

Good doctor. Great advice. You be sure to hand sanitize first thing when you come in the door. I request that the Nurse take the blood pressure by hand not with one of those automatic machines. It has helped my high BP numbers a bit. My best wishes to your wife in her quarantine. We may all be there in a month.
