Doubt the county would send out a notification to say the mystery firefighter is just being a good guy. There was stunningly little detail side that he came incinerator with someone. I could be wrong.

There's an overwhelming chance the doctor is right. It's the disparity between great risk if wrong and limited reward if right.

And this is the right advice today, especially in a community where there have been so few cases.

And it's a bit of a strawman...is anyone really advocating not going to work (in PA)?

Advocating, not yet, but most major employers are basically right there (hers included) - https://www.inquirer.com/business/comca ... 00309.html

Mr Conte described the measures as "I stay home" - with people forbidden to gather in public. "No more nightlife; we can't allow this anymore since they are occasions for contagion," he said.

All sporting events - including football matches - are suspended nationwide. Schools and universities will remain closed until 3 April.

The government said only those with a valid work or family reason that cannot be postponed will be allowed to travel.

Passengers departing on flights will have to justify themselves, as will all those who arrive by plane.

There are controls at train stations to check the temperatures of passengers.

The father and sister of a Missouri woman who tested positive for novel coronavirus disregarded a quarantine and went to a school function on Saturday.

The patient, who is in her 20s, reported feeling sick after returning from Italy on March 2. She contacted a coronavirus hotline three days later, on Thursday, and spoke with health officials who advised her to get tested, St. Louis County Executive Sam Page said.

The patient's family had been advised to self-quarantine at their home in Ladue as they awaited test results, and that night the patient's father defied instructions to stay at home and went to a school function with another daughter, Page said.

Page said health and county officials learned about the father's actions Sunday and told him that he needs to stay in isolation. If he does not comply with orders, health officials will seek a court order and "issue a formal quarantine that will require him and the rest of his family to stay in their home by the force of law," Page warned.

The family has been told numerous times that self quarantine is necessary as health officials continue to investigate the woman's case, Page said.
