Authorities in northern Italy on Friday ordered the closure of schools, bars and other public spaces in 10 towns following a flurry of new coronavirus cases. Five doctors and 10 other people tested positive for the virus in Lombardy, after apparently frequenting the same bar and group of friends, with two other cases in Veneto, authorities said at a press conference.

Very interesting and about 8 minutes in Nancy (the same one from that text expose a few days ago) talks about the 'very aggressive measures they are currently taking' and also says it is likely to become a pandemic.

Listening carefully, she uses the word 'when' as opposed to 'if' a fair few times.

I reckon a pandemic announcement soon

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California health officials said Friday that 7,600 people who returned to the state after visiting China during the outbreak of the new virus have been asked to quarantine themselves at home this month as health officials try to stop the spread of the virus.

The people returned to the U.S. on or after Feb. 2 and are being asked to monitor their health, stay home and limit interactions with others, the California Department of Public Health said in a statement.

ITALY OUTBREAK

Italy now has the highest number of cases and deaths in Europe (tripling Germany in second place).

Coronavirus cases in Italy have already more than doubled since yesterday.

There are now a total of:

• 36 cases in Lombardy region (including 1 death, 1 critical, and at least 14 serious cases).

• 9 in Veneto region (including 1 death and at least 1 critical case).

• 3 in Rome.

20+ new cases today in Italy, including at least:

• 2 doctors, husband and wife (a pediatrician), in Pieve Porto Morone (Pavia, Lombardy).

• 5 new cases in Vò Euganeo (Padua, Veneto region).

• 1 in Cremona (Lombardy region).

• 1 in Sesto Cremonese (Lombardy region).

• 2 in Dolo (Veneto region).

1 new death in Italy, a 75-year-old woman who was hospitalized a few days ago for pneumonia in the Lodi area (Lombardy region).

Hundreds waiting for test results. 10 towns, 50,000 people, placed in precautionary voluntary quarantine. Schools, workplaces, municipal and private offices, 3 train stations, coffee shops, and public places closed in the affected towns.

Emergency meetings being held today.

The 38-year-old man near Lodi is in critical condition (mechanically ventilated in intensive care, according to his parents) and at least 14 contacts are in serious condition, according to doctors, and include:

• 5 health workers and doctors.

• 3 patients at the Codogno hospital.

• 3 elderly (in the 70s and 80s) clients of a bar run by the father of the man's friend.

"People must be distantiated right now, because this is a virus that is transmitted very effectively at close range" said the director of the infectious diseases department of the Higher Institute of Health, Gianni Rezza.

Potentially Iran has a totally DIFFERENT strain of coronavirus and all hell seems to be breaking loose there (also someone in British Columbia picked up this version of the virus and traveled back to BC with it - DOES THIS MEAN WE HAVE 2 DIFF STRAINS IN BC NOW?)

Those are the 2 big items (Italy is also in trouble now)… and BNO News shows 35 confirmed cases in US now.

2 diff strains of coronavirus in BC now, is this correct? Oh my

New cases just confirmed in Italy, raising total to 54 infected:

14:48 GMT: 33 new cases and 1 new death in Italy. https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/02/the-latest-coronavirus-cases/

This is a very different message than we have been receiving in Canada. It stems from the discovery of the “sentinel” case in BC - the woman from Iran with no connection to China. The narrative and tone is changing.

"Globally, we will not be able to contain the spread of this virus. We can slow it down, but we can't stop it," said Dr. Allison McGeer, an infectious diseases specialist at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital who worked on the front lines of the SARS epidemic in 2003. https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/coronavirus-covid-19-iran-bc-south-korea-1.5472316

A passenger who was on an Air Canada flight on February 14 was carrying the coronavirus (COVID-19). The passenger who had left Iran to go to Vancouver made a stopover in Montreal.

TVA Nouvelles obtained an internal note from Air Canada distributed to its employees to inform them that the infected lady had traveled with them from Montreal to Vancouver.

The airline was notified by the British Columbia Center for Disease Control (BC CDC).

BC CDC will contact the employees concerned and the passengers who were three rows in front and three rows behind the traveler.

The South Korean spread of confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection increased starting on 19 February.

On 19 February, the number of confirmed cases increased by 20. On 20 February, 70[3] new cases were confirmed, giving a total of 104 confirmed cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Korea (KCDC). According to Reuters, KCDC attributed the sudden jump to 70 cases linked to "Patient No. 31", who had participated in a gathering in Daegu at the Shincheonji Church of Jesus the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony.[3]

On 20 February, the streets of Daegu were empty in reaction to the Shincheonji outbreak. A resident described the reaction, stating "It's like someone dropped a bomb in the middle of the city. It looks like a zombie apocalypse."[3] The first death was reported[20] in a mental ward of Cheongdo Daenam Hospital in Cheongdo County. According to the mayor of Daegu, the number of suspected cases as of 21 February was 544 among 4,400 examined followers of the church.[21] The hospital was suspected as the source of the present outbreak after it was visited by a woman who became the second fatal case of Korea on that day. The infection spread outside via a funeral ceremony attended by members of the church.[22][23]

All South Korean military bases were on lockdown after tests confirmed that three soldiers were indeed positive for the virus.[22] Airlines cut connections and cultural schedules were being canceled due to fears of further spread.[24][25] United States Forces Korea raised the alert level from low to moderate and cut off non-essential travel to and from USFK Daegu.[26] USFK Daegu's school facilities were closed and non-essential personnel were ordered to stay at home while any visitors going there were not allowed to enter.[26] USFK announced that the widow of a retired soldier who was in Daegu was diagnosed to be positive for the virus on 24 February.[27] Camp Humphreys enacted virus detection protocols, including temperature checks and raised the alert level to high.[28] On 26 February, an American soldier based at Camp Carroll was diagnosed to be positive and was quarantined away from bases via off-base housing unit[29] with contact tracing done that showed his movements to Camp Walker.[30]

As of 22 February, among 9,336 followers of the church, 1,261 reported symptoms.[31] At the time, 169 confirmed cases involved the church and another 111 came from the Cheongdo Daenam Hospital.[32] 23 February saw another 123 cases with 75 being from Shincheonji[33] and 24 February saw 161 additional cases with 129 being from the religious group. Over 27,000 people have been tested for the virus with 19,127 negative results.[34]

On 24 February, 15 countries imposed travel restrictions to and from South Korea.[35] It was also reported that a senior health official overseeing the COVID-19 efforts in Daegu tested positive and was also a member of Shincheonji.[36][37] Within a few days, a petition to the nation's president urging for the disbandment of the church had over 750,000 signatures. Their headquarters in Gwacheon was raided by law enforcement and government officials said all 245,000 members of the religious group would be found and tested.[37]

On 28 February, over 2,000 confirmed cases were reported.[38]

This is pretty wild. If you go look at the Wikipedia page for the Epstein-Barr virus, this is included:

The virus is also associated with the childhood disorders of Alice in Wonderland syndrome[5] and

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epstein%E2%80%93Barr_virus

>>8314241

Remember, it was William Barr's father who hired Jeffrey Epstein to be a school teacher. And Barr's father happened to write that bizarre story about a guy being abducted and sold off planet as a sex slave.

The Epstein-Barr virus is also known more commonly as "mono." The "kissing disease."

Alice in Wonderland Syndrome? Never heard of that either.

The head of WHO, Dr Tredos, came out today and said 2 important facts

1. 3.4% of corona-virus cases die. This is much more than seasonal flu which has a rate far lower than 1%

2. People are far more susceptible to Corona-virus than the flu, because all people have immunity and resistance to the flu

Reporter just got real with Pence and asked when thing would escalate from a state to federal management level (quarantines, martial law, etc)

Pence gave q to Fauci.

Fauci answered when they see widespread community transmission.

I googled the term and got this from the CDC on Italy

CDC Warning on Italy

Italy is experiencing widespread community transmission of respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

Italy to Date - 3,000 Cases - 100 Deaths

So, that's what they're waiting for.
