The Corona Virus just showed up in Arkansas. (Tested negative).

In Virginia two of the three suspected cases came back negative which is in my area of central Virginia ( thank God ). However, the other case in northern Virginia is still awaiting for results.

The sad but interesting fact is that individuals have been indicated as not affected (negative) by the virus only to be found infected (positive) a day or two later.

Its odd why its not your language

That is odd...

Makes me wonder if the diagnostic test was defective or if those people had just sero-converted?

The latter assumption gives rise to more questions than it answers...

Or became infected after the initial test result?

Either case gives rise to more questions...

I don't think I like the inference.

Keep eyes open behind protective goggles...

The job posting which was still up on Wuhan Institute of Virology listed these goals:

- working with virus which invades host, but does not express symptoms for a long time -- lies dormant, or very low, in other words before presenting the full blown symtoms

My words, but that's the gist of it

Just saw something on FB that the case is at Washington Regional in Fayetteville, AR.

My Bro in law just passed through there and is now staying with us.

Hope he didn't pick anything up from there.

Is there a link by any chance to that FB post?

Not doubting you, just that's really too close for comfort if true....

Oh shit! I was just there last week, well at one of the buildings in the complex. There are several buildings.

Please would you share the Facebook post?

Been trying to find it again. It was in the comments section about the case being at Washington Regional but that authorities didn't want that to get out.

It was on some feed called Arkansas Local News or some such.

Thanks I found it, copy & paste

Heard yesterday morning before they wanted it to get out that they’re at Washington Regional but now won’t release that until the case is confirmed.

Another commenter says she heard Fart Smith

I can’t get a link because I’m on mobile. But it’s on the page Arkansas Local News

I think we've established that if GLP ever has a meet up, it should be in NW Arkansas. I just hope there is a venue large enough to hold us all :)

I started this thread but I still haven't found anything to confirm that it's actually the Kung Flu that's hit the state.

The second I can confirm it I will. If you see it first, feel free to jump in line ahead of me.

Love and light my friends, stay safe.

LOL...It seems you think as highly of Fart Smith as I do. That town is Fayettevilles ghetto.

That same news group on Facebook claiming that unless you've been to China, you have nothing to worry about!

Run.

Did you know that the song "Martha My Dear" was written by McCartney about his sheepdog? Her name was Martha! I love the Beatles (and dogs!) and I just wanted to share this with you, in case you never heard the history of that song.

So, we're still waiting on the results, right?

I can guarantee you that I'm more conservative than you! You presumptuous ass!

Yes we are, which is odd. As soon as I hear something I was going to get back on this thread to update. Crickets. If it was confirmed, they're keeping it to themselves.

Or sent the patient home with some aspirin.

I came here looking for updates, too.

That they are refusing to update the story tells me that not only do they have it, it's a local politician or family member of and that they don't want to alarm all that the person came into contact with.

Probably because it was a LOT of folks.

This protection for one regardless of the many pisses me off to no end.

Imagine if that person worked retail at a Walmart... yeesh.

There already is a bad flu outbreak here in NWA.

I wouldn't go within 1/4 mile of a hospital, school and/or daycare. When I'm at the store, I stay aware of potential sick people. If I see someone coughing, sneezing, wiping their noses, etc. I turn around and walk in the opposite direction. I don't grab door handles without a tissue or clothing. God dam gross people blow their noses and cough into their hands then grab doors.

Tards sending their sick kids to day care or school are beyond stupid. Keep them infected beasts at home until they are symptom free instead of exposing everyone else to that shit.

People in general are dumb. Instead of staying home when they get sick, they go to places and infect others.

This is 98% of our problem when it comes to infectious diseases.

Katv says patient negative for corona.

LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — Arkansas health officials on Thursday answered questions about why they're not disclosing where a suspected case of coronavirus was found in the state.

State Department of Health spokesperson Meg Mirivel said the agency has not revealed the city, county or region where the patient is being tested in order to comply with patient privacy laws. Other states, including Texas and Oklahoma, have identified cities and counties where suspected cases of the virus have been discovered.

Mirivel said that Arkansas Department of Health guidelines prohibit such information from being released.

Maybe these guidelines need to be amended to include a general location in cases like this that impact public health -- we the people have a right to know.

We are only wanting to know the GENERAL location not the EXACT GPS coordinates.

And that is perfectly understood and expected.

Just swung by to update, the test was negative. So far Arkansas is still in the clear. Good news folks.

Thank you!! Just heard this while on the C-virus thread.


And, also, God? Thank You too :)
