Washington State: Personal COVID-19 Report from Snohomish County

Apr14

Greetings Kin,

Sharing the COVID-19 perspective from Snohomish County Washington. There are no tests unless you go to the emergency room. So, we’ve isolated accordingly. There’s never been such little traffic along I-5 in Seattle, if you go far enough to see it.

If you take the total cases active and negative, and divide by 7.5 million people in the State of Washington, it’s not too hard to see that only .001 of all people have been tested. It started with 1 and 20 in a nursing home. It only takes one to go gather the droplets to bring them home. (Remember to leave your shoes at the door, and wash your hands after taking them off.) Doctors and healthcare workers are being affected. If you go to the emergency room, you say your goodbyes at the door.

Greetings Kin,

Sharing the view from Snohomish County Washington. Cases are growing at 200+ per day. 24 hours can seem like a long wait for the next number. In NY they are running 10,000 tests per day. Here, only 1,000 for those emergencies and hard cases to show up at the hospital. There are no tests for anyone else. Healthcare PPE is running low – in places running out. We can only assume and act accordingly that the actual numbers are x 10. There is now a senior residence within 5 miles with 9 positive, likely a team of employees I pass in my grocery store.

My daughter is a nurse in a senior center in Kansas. The daily reality is a choice – when/if they hit 3-patients positive, you’re either locked in or locked out. Why are there no tests. Why were stocks traded two weeks before public notice? Why are we dying to Live?
