21 coronavirus cases in SLO County, one person in the ICU

March 21, 2020

A San Luis Obispo County resident is in the intensive care unit at a local hospital after testing positive for the coronavirus. As of Saturday afternoon, 21 county residents have tested positive for the virus, though it is expected many more have been infected.

Twenty of the infected individuals are recovering at home.

Cases by county region:

  • Eight in the North County
  • Seven in the South County
  • Five on the coast
  • One in the San Luis Obispo area

On Thursday, Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered the state’s 40 million residents to stay home and for many businesses to close. And while many are complying with the mandate, there are some business owners and residents who have chosen to violate the order.

Increases in the number of cases in California have been rapid, as of Saturday afternoon, there have been more than 1,200 positive cases and 24 deaths.

The first confirmed case in the United States occurred just north of Seattle on Jan. 21. Two months later, more than 18,000 U.S. residents have tested positive for the virus, and more than 200 have died.

In addition, the number of people infected by the virus worldwide continues to jump: more than 304,540 cases with more than 12,970 dead.

Snoid, Let’s parse through your facts to determine relevance to the containment of the disease.


January 3: Coronavirus disease known to the administration.


FAULTY Corona Virus Test Kits and Replacement Kits (We decided to make our own and not use the international kit in use):

January 23: The CDC sought a “special emergency authorization” from the FDA to allow states to use its newly developed coronavirus test.

February 6: The CDC began shipping CDC-Developed test kits for the 2019 Novel Coronavirus to U.S. and international labs.

February 12: The U.S. shipped test kits for the 2019 novel coronavirus to approximately 30 countries who lacked the necessary reagents and other materials.

The above kits were faulty.

Now for the replacement kit – YEAH!

February 29: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allowed certified labs to develop and begin testing coronavirus testing kits while reviewing pending applications.

March 3: FINALLY A GOOD TEST KIT! TWO MONTHS LATE! The CDC lifted federal restrictions on coronavirus testing to allow any American to be tested for coronavirus, “subject to doctor’s orders.” IT TOOK FOUR DAYS TO MAKE A KIT, February 29th to March 3rd! THE ADMINISTRATION TOOK TWO MONTHS, January 3rd to March 3rd.


Travel Restrictions, OK but NO TEST KITS FOR INBOUND!:

Vaccine Development (OCCURRING 12 TO 18 MONTHS FROM NOW. TOO LATE THE DISEASE IS OUT.):

January 20: Dr. Fauci announces the National Institutes of Health is already working on the development of a vaccine for the coronavirus.

February 11: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) expanded a partnership with Janssen Research & Development to “expedite the development” of a coronavirus vaccine.

February 18: HHS announced it would engage with Sanofi Pasteur in an effort to quickly develop a coronavirus vaccine and to develop treatment for coronavirus infections.


Respirators (OVER THE NEXT 18 MONTHS. TOO LATE THE DISEASE IS OUT.):

March 4: The Trump Administration announced the purchase of approximately 500 million N95 respirators over the next 18 months to respond to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus.


Future Funding, ECONOMIC, FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL DAMAGE ALREADY DONE. PATCH, PATCH, PATCH, YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK:

March 4: Secretary Azar announced that HHS was transferring $35 million to the CDC to help state and local communities that have been impacted most by the coronavirus.
