I wonder where these people worked (I know at least 2 employers already). I guess we will never know.
Many more than 13 cases in Beaver County! This isn’t going away till at least June!
Preventively speaking, isolation is the key. From a containment standpoint, contact tracing is the most successful way to curb the spread, including staying on top of it right here in our county. An interesting article from The NY Times detailing South Korea’s aggressive approach to slowing/gaining some type of control of the virus: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/23/world/asia/coronavirus-south-korea-flatten-curve.html algo=als1&fellback=false&imp_id=720309722&action=click&module=moreIn&pgtype=Article®ion=Footer
Fellow Beaver Countians, please do what you can to slow/halt this monster. Regardless of what’s been stated, it varies, case to case on just how much it kicks any ones particular ass.
Stay in, apart and safe.
I just got a call few hours ago.. my mom is in Brighton rehab… (across from beaver county medical center) they have been on lockdown 2-3wks now, and one of the residents there tested positive for it… how???
I believe younger people are carrying the virus with little or no symptoms and giving it to older folks. Younger nurses, aides, workers ect… This is happening everywhere. It’s not hard to see.
