"We know that our city will need additional resources from our state and federal government," she tweeted."We are looking to our partners to increase the availability of testing in a way that does not overwhelm the health care system, but meets the growing need."

"It's our public duty to help people who are vulnerable," Tiia-Mai Redditt of Seattle said Tuesday while shopping for hand sanitizer at a Target. The store had been sold out for days, an employee said, and Redditt worried about a friend with a lung condition.

Fake news from MSM, I amso surprised.

As someone that lives in Seattle, this story is so false. Places were as busy as they usually are for a Tuesday in March.

We at mapsofworld have been tracking the spread of coronavirus since 27th January 2020. We have been updating this article with the latest map and figures regularly. CoronavirusOutbreak CoronaOutbreak coronavirus

Soy consumption is down. Better be careful or some of these “men” will start having kids and leading families.

People need to get their heads around this. As it goes epidemic it'll be very disruptive, there'll be a lot of illness including deaths (more than regular 'flu), then over time it'll pass and become part of the 'flu playbook. Mainly it'll hit low income, obvs.

Lots of love to my hometown of Seattle.

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...

Which is weird because the outbreak is on the Eastside

Seems a little quiet in SF last couple of days too.
