539 pm est - woman saying they got new data from South Korea today -
she is very very grateful that just old people are dying
I swear to god - that is what she was saying - we got data today
showing that median age for dying people in Korea was 81 - median age
for infection was 81 - we are very greatful for this
Maybe she was trying to say that she is grateful that children are not
dying - which might be reasonable - but to me - it sounds very very
very cold
543 pm est - some doc just repeated that most of the deaths are very
old and have co-mobidities
545 pm - some guy just coughed
545 pm est - pence going to Minnesota tomorrow - 3M ramping up mask production
labs are ramping up
Pence will talk to cruise line owners in Florida on Saturday
hand sanitizer not available on Amazon - CDC says vigorous washing
with soap and water for 20 seconds is OK
1.5M test kits going out to hospitals - mostly in areas with cases -
all state labs and universities can run (process) tests now - will be
considered an 'essential lab test' so fully reimbursible by Medicare /
Medicaid and all private insurance
551 pm est - no more travel advisories recommended now - we reevaluate
this every day
553 pm est - per Pence - it is safe to fly - except to warned areas
(Italy and ? Iran ?)
553 pm edt - cruise ship in California being evaluated
554 pm - 'significant greater risk' for frail and ill people
