Today Nancy Messonnier, who is the director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases issued a stark warning about the potential spread of Covid19 through the United States.
“We expect we will see community spread in this country,” said Dr. Messonnier. “It’s more of a question of when.” (source)
Whenever there’s a direct warning from the government agencies whose job it is to manage crises in ways that don’t cause a panic, I always wonder how bad the situation actually is and what they’re not telling us. While this was the most bluntly worded warning, it isn’t the only one this week.
What is the CDC warning us about?
In a briefing, she discussed the measures that businesses, schools, and communities needed to prepare to take to tackle the looming outbreak.
“We are asking the American public to work with us to prepare for the expectation that this could be bad…”
Schools should consider dividing students into smaller groups or close and use “internet-based teleschooling,” Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told reporters on a conference call.
“For adults, businesses can replace in-person meetings with video or telephone conferences and increase teleworking options,” Messonnier said.
She said local communities and cities may need to “modify, postpone or cancel mass gatherings.” Hospitals may need to triage patients differently, add more telehealth services and delay elective surgery, she said.
“Now is the time for businesses, hospitals, communities, schools and everyday people to begin preparing,” she said. (source)
Anyone who has watched the way the government handles things that could potentially cause a panic should realize that this is a warning that problems are imminent.
