The Colorado Dept of Public Health is recommending that anyone who has been in the mountain counties of Eagle, Summit, Pitkin or Gunnison in the last week should self-isolate. It's probably being spread at the ski resorts from all the ski tourists.

Office of Communications Gabi Johnston, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment AGENCY

IMPORTANT COVID-19 UPDATE:
Anyone who has been in Eagle, Summit, Pitkin, or Gunnison counties in the past week should minimize all contact with other people, whether or not they are experiencing symptoms.County public health and emergency management agencies will provide more detailed guidance for residents and visitors within their communities. The general guidance from CDPHE is as follows:??If you live in Colorado and are leaving one of these communities, you should minimize contact with other people for 14 days and watch for the development of symptoms like cough, fever, and shortness of breath.??If you are visiting Colorado from out of state and do not currently have symptoms (cough, fever, and shortness of breath), you can return home and practice social distancing there.??If you have symptoms, stay where you are, isolate yourself from others, and call a health care provider or nurse line before seeking care. Do not fly. Do not use public transportation or ride-shares.More recommendations here:

Interesting that a good number of countries so far avoided having any fatalities. Germany - as per JH web site data tonight, CFR is about 0.25% Hubei - not too many new cases, fatality rate high, about 4.6% Other Chinese provinces outside Hubei combined - CFR is about 0.9%. On this table the data is a little behind, but it’s interesting how the doubling was occurring at the same rate. Many countries remain in the exponential growth phase, as noted on Short Takes last week. Image is just a snapshot, but notice how the number of cases doubled over the last three days in many countries. We all have a role to play in trying to slow the rate of growth. pic.twitter.com/YRbK2XRkZy — Chris Ciovacco (@CiovaccoCapital) March 15, 2020

Starting immediately and for the next 8 weeks, CDC recommends canceling all events of 50 or more people [ source] [ source] New cases include: - 1 new case in California (Nevada County) [ source] - 6 new cases in New Hampshire [ source] - 5 new cases in Washoe County, Nevada [ source] - 2 new cases in Harris County, Texas [ source] - First case in southern Indiana: a man in Floyd Count who, during the past week, attended a number of events and gatherings, all listed in detail by the Heath Department [ source] - 3 new cases in Orange County, California, including 2 that did not appear to be related to travel or with previously confirmed cases [ source] - 80 in New Jersey [ source] - 1 new case in Hawaii: an Oahu resident who took a family trip to Florida and returned with family on March 8. The next day, the resident developed a cough, but no fever [ source] Countries must test. They can't fight this blindly. They need to find cases and isolate them. So my message to the Health Ministers today was to invest in testing. They must be able to test all suspected cases. We advise countries to stick to testing and continue with containment strategies, because we believe this virus is controllable if the right measures are taken." Dr. Tedros Adhanom, Director of WHO.
