As the death toll in Washington climbed, Seattle's mayor declared a civil emergency and businesses braced for economic fallout.

SEATTLE — It's not her birthday for another month, but Ruby Francisco has been singing"Happy Birthday" a lot lately."That's what they said to do," said Francisco, who owns a jewelry store here."I tell my grandchildren to sing when they wash their hands so they do it right."

"This is a very fluid, fast-moving situation as we aggressively respond to this outbreak," Dr. Jeff Duchin, health officer for Seattle and King County Public Health, said in a statement. She also asked residents to do their part by practicing good hygiene and making contingency plans at home and work.

"It's so scary," she said."I'm going to start praying not just for a cure, but for the families in mourning right now." Down a normally crowded hallway, Market Magic & Novelty Shop also remained quiet. A family bought a small keepsake and then walked out. No one came in after. "Our wholesaler gets his supplies from China," she said."He told me he only has six months' worth of products left."

Still quite here, my trip home should take well over an hour.

robertliefeld Seattle and King Country are very quite. My commute is usually 1 hour 15 min. This week has been 35 min. Im going from North Bend on I90 to Kirkland in 405. I was all over the city today, traffic is like it was 15 years ago.

This. Is. A. Lie.

This is not true. Sorry. Seattle is exactly as busy as any Wednesday. This lying in order to make social, political and cultural change is not just Trumpy anymore.

Seattle feels like 'ghost town,' business owners say as they face life in coronavirus hot spotAs the death toll in Washington climbed, Seattle's mayor declared a civil emergency and businesses braced for economic fallout. Which is weird because the outbreak is on the Eastside Seems a little quiet in SF last couple of days too. I can't say I blame them. The so called 'coronavirus task force' are not competent, trump does nothing but lie. Who knows where else it has broken out? It's our health and we deserve to know every single detail...
