    Default Are local media reports about Corona virus "going missing"?

    I was scanning the web about corona virus and noticed an article about a case in eastern Kentucky.
    When I went to the link an entirely different article was posted....

    Similarly I read a reddit report of a confirmed case, again in Eastern KY.. Again when I went to the link, the post had been deleted.
    Anyone starting to get a sense we won't be seeing these cases in "the news"?

    Is corona virus news being censored?

    Centre College Danville, Kentucky

    Some international students at Centre College quarantined as coronavirus precaution

    February 12, 2020

    " Several international Centre College students who recently returned to campus from China, where there’s a widespread outbreak of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus, have been quarantined as a precaution, according to school officials.

    The Advocate-Messenger in Danville reports that last week, Centre officials stated they were “keeping a watchful eye” on students who had returned home to China during the winter break and were back on campus, as well as other study abroad students, as the coronavirus situation developed.

    “On Saturday we received a recommendation from the Kentucky Department for Public Health, in consultation with the Centers for Disease Control, asking that those with recent travel history from China be isolated for a period of 14 days after their arrival,” said Centre’s Chief Communications Officer Michael Strysick on Wednesday.

    Centre officials made arrangements for the students to be quarantined on Sunday, Feb. 9, according to a message college President John Roush sent to students and staff that afternoon. The recommendation was that people who have traveled to China should be in isolation for 14 days after their arrival in the United States.

    “To be clear, this is 14 days from an individual’s time of arrival, not 14 days from today,” the letter read.

    “While this does involve a small number of those in our campus community, I want to be very clear that no one has the coronavirus or even shows any symptoms. Nonetheless, we are following these guidelines as a preventative measure to be safe and cautious,” Roush wrote.

    Strysick said classes for the spring term started on Wednesday, Feb. 5, “and students began returning (to campus) at different times in advance of the new semester.”

    “We were able to make arrangements very quickly because of the precautionary efforts we took earlier in the week,” Strysick said.

    Because of medical privacy laws, Strysick said he could not say how many students were quarantined. However, he did say that students will be able to continue with their classes.

    “The Academic Affairs office has worked with each student and their professors to assure that their coursework is not interrupted in any way. In some instances, this has involved the use of technology,” Strysick said. “Everyone has been very cooperative.”

    Roush’s message ended by saying, “Your cooperation, patience, and understanding is greatly appreciated as we work through all of this. And I repeat what I said in my previous message. We are all in this together, and each and every member of our caring and compassionate community is important and valued.”

    This morning a friend and I were discussing how there seems to be little news about the virus.

    2 days ago this site showed 29 cases. https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/a...23467b48e9ecf6

    Today it shows 15.

    We know 14 cases were imported from the cruise ship alone.

    I call BS

    On another coronavirus topic... I posted a local Hawaii news article about a Japanese couple returning to Japan from vacation in Hawaii who tested positive for coronavirus. The husband was in serious condition. Delta airlines was trying to contact others who were on that same flight. I have not seen nor heard that news story anywhere else. Ironically, no one here seemed interested either [but I'm used to that.]

    Here is link.

    Yes, it is being censored, and yes, that is extremely concerning.

    Cerabino: Sorry, the coronavirus in Florida is a state secret

    The Palm Beach Post 2/7/2020 By Frank Cerabino, The Palm Beach Post, Fla.
    What's going on with the coronavirus in Florida?
    Sorry, you can't find out. It's a secret.
    It doesn't sound like it should be a secret, but according to the Florida Department of Health, it has to be a secret.

    They're probably terrified coronavirus will destroy the tourist industry in Florida like it has the cruise ship business.

    BTW- My wife overheard some women talking who were giddy because one of them had found a "deal" on a cruise that is only $100.00 per person. I wonder why it is so cheap?

    Does that include the funeral expenses?
