The last 24 hours certainly looks like a turning point. This is what many of us were worried about 7-10 days ago, that rapid explosion in China and when that incubation period of the next wave would hit. Now we're seeing it spread globally pretty rapidly. I'm starting to lean towards we can't contain it short term. The looming question is still how it reacts to seasonal changes.
My man. Just read the story, everyone that read it initially all knew it was BS, no nukes remember. I don’t need to hold someone’s hand to tell them what is fake and what is real with all due respect. One’s critical thinking skills come in to play. With that said, If I remember to qualify something, I will for you my fellow who dat.
And the wife wants to do something in FL in a couple of months. Have mercy on me.Any betters on Florida having an ongoing outbreak?
"Cerabino: Sorry, the coronavirus in Florida is a state secret"
"Florida Department of Health cites patient confidentiality law as reason not to inform public
What’s going on with the coronavirus in Florida?
Sorry, you can’t find out. It’s a secret.
It doesn’t sound like it should be a secret, but according to the Florida Department of Health, it has to be a secret.
“We are bound by a specific statute and can’t release the information,” explained Alberto Moscoso, the communications director for the Florida Department of Health."
"Maybe. Maybe not.
"The state gave regular public updates on Zika, a mosquito-borne virus that infected more than 100 Floridians three years ago.
There was no problem with public updates then. But we know precious little about the coronavirus in Florida."
Why the secrecy? If a virus that began in China two months ago and has already spread to 28 countries, including the United States, don’t the people of Florida have a right to be kept in the loop?
The state law cited is a passage in the Florida Administrative Code that says “all information contained in laboratory reports, notifiable disease or condition case reports and in related epidemiological investigatory notes is confidential.”
But the passage goes on to note three exceptions for releasing otherwise confidential disease or condition case reports to the public.
The exceptions are:
(1) If the state’s health department determines public release of information is warranted “due to the highly infectious nature of the disease.”
(2) If the release of information would be useful to reduce “the potential for further outbreaks.”
(3) If the release helps to identify or locate people in contact with the cases.
If one of those conditions is true, it trumps the patient confidentiality requirement.
In the case of the coronavirus, it wouldn’t be a stretch to argue that there’s more than enough wiggle room in the law for the state health department to be transparent with the public.
Using “patient privacy” as an excuse to tamp down information on a virus well on its way to becoming a pandemic says more about tourism than public safety in Florida."
