                              Coronavirus is coming to the US, are you prepared?

                              Countries must shift mindset to virus preparedness.

                              Just as every home should have a smoke alarm, every home should have an emergency supply kit packed and ready.  Some time ago I wrote about creating a GoBag, also called a Bug Out Bag or 72 Hour Bag, with the intention of better educating you the reader on how to prepare for an emergency that (primarily) took you away from home.  Adjusted for 2019, things have changed.

                              Introduce (COVID-19), Coronavirus Disease. “Imported cases of COVID-19 in travelers have been detected in the U.S. Person-to-person spread of COVID-19 also has been seen among close contacts of returned travelers from Wuhan, but at this time, this virus is NOT currently spreading in the community in the United States.” – Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Many other news sources, blogs, and content providers are frightening the public and fear-mongering, Mr. Glitterati aims to educate everyone and share what you really need to know regarding the Coronavirus and how to prepare in the off chance it becomes a pandemic.

                              [su_accordion class=””] [su_spoiler title=”How it Spreads” open=”no” style=”default” icon=”plus” anchor=”” class=””]

                              Person-to-person spread

                              Current understanding about how the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spreads is largely based on what is known about similar coronaviruses.

                              The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.

                              • Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet)
                              • Via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
                              • These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

                              Spread from contact with infected surfaces or objects

                              It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

                              When does spread happen?

                              • People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (the sickest).
                              • Some spread might be possible before people show symptoms; there have been reports of this with this new coronavirus, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

                              How efficiently does the virus spread?

                              How easily a virus spreads from person-to-person can vary. Some viruses are highly contagious (like measles), while other viruses are less so. Another factor is whether the spread continues over multiple generations of people (if the spread is sustained). The virus that causes COVID-19 seems to be spreading easily and sustainably in Hubei province and other parts of China. In the United States, spread from person-to-person has occurred only among a few close contacts and has not spread any further to date.

                              There is still more to be learned

                              COVID-19 is an emerging disease and there is more to learn about its transmissibility, severity, and other features and what will happen in the United States. New information will further inform the risk assessment.

                              [/su_spoiler] [su_spoiler title=”Symptoms” open=”no” style=”default” icon=”plus” anchor=”” class=””]

                              For confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases, reported illnesses have ranged from mild symptoms to severe illness and death. Symptoms can include:

                              • Fever
                              • Cough
                              • Shotness of Breath

                              CDC believes at this time that symptoms of COVID-19 may appear in as few as 2 days or as long as 14 days after exposure. This is based on what has been seen previously as the incubation period of MERS-CoV viruses.

                              [/su_spoiler] [su_spoiler title=”Testing” open=”no” style=”default” icon=”plus” anchor=”” class=””]

                              CDC Tests for COVID-19

                              CDC has developed a new laboratory test kit for use in testing patient specimens for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19. The test kit is called the “Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase (RT)-PCR Diagnostic Panel.” It is intended for use with the Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast DX Real-Time PCR Instrument with SDS 1.4 software. This test is intended for use with upper and lower respiratory specimens collected from persons who meet CDC criteria for COVID-19 testing. CDC’s test kit is intended for use by laboratories designated by CDC as qualified, and in the United States, certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) to perform high complexity tests. The test kits also will be shipped to qualified international laboratories, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Influenza Surveillance Response System (GISRS) laboratories. The test will not be available in U.S. hospitals or other primary care settings. The kits will be distributed through the International Reagent Resource.

                              On Monday, February 3, 2020, CDC submitted an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) package to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in order to expedite FDA permitted use of the CDC diagnostic panel in the United States. The EUA process enables FDA to consider and authorize the use of unapproved, but potentially life-saving medical or diagnostic products during a public health emergency. The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services declared the SARS-CoV-2 virus a U.S. public health emergency on Friday, January 31, 2020. FDA issued the EUA on February 4, 2020. IRR began distribution of the test kits to states, but shortly thereafter performance issues were identified related to a problem in the manufacturing of one of the reagents which led to laboratories not being able to verify the test performance. CDC is remanufacturing the reagents with more robust quality control measures. New tests will be distributed once this issue has been addressed. CDC continues to perform initial and confirmatory testing.

                              Serology Test for COVID-19

                              CDC is working to develop a new laboratory test to assist with efforts to determine how much of the U.S. population has been exposed to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19.

                              The serology test will look for the presence of antibodies, which are specific proteins made in response to infections. Antibodies can be found in the blood and in other tissues of those who are tested after infection. The antibodies detected by this test indicate that a person had an immune response to SARS-CoV-2, whether symptoms developed from infection or the infection was asymptomatic. Antibody test results are important in detecting infections with few or no symptoms.

                              Initial work to develop a serology test for SARS-CoV-2 is underway at CDC. In order to develop the test, the CDC needs blood samples from people who had COVID-19 at least 21 days after their symptoms first started. Researchers are currently working to develop the basic parameters for the test, which will be refined as more samples become available. Once the test is developed, the CDC will need additional samples to evaluate whether the test works as intended.

                              CDC Recommends

                              While the immediate risk of this new virus to the American public is believed to be low at this time, everyone can do their part to help us respond to this emerging public health threat:

                                • It’s currently flu and respiratory disease season and CDC recommends getting a flu vaccine, taking everyday preventive actions to help stop the spread of germs, and taking flu antivirals if prescribed.
                                • If you are a healthcare provider, be on the look-out for people who recently traveled from China and have a fever and respiratory symptoms.
                                • If you are a healthcare provider caring for a COVID-19 patient or a public health responder, please take care of yourself and follow recommended infection control procedures.
                                • If you have been in China or have been exposed to someone sick with COVID-19 in the last 14 days, you will face some limitations on your movement and activity. Please follow instructions during this time. Your cooperation is integral to the ongoing public health response to try to slow the spread of this virus. If you develop COVID-19 symptoms, contact your healthcare provider, and tell them about your symptoms and your travel or exposure to a COVID-19 patient.
                                • For people who are ill with COVID-19, please follow CDC guidance on how to reduce the risk of spreading your illness to others.

                              Preparing for an emergency isn’t just the job of emergency management officials, it’s also an individual responsibility. “You should be prepared to take care of yourself and members of your family for the first 72 hours – that’s three days – following a disaster,” said May, who oversees operations for the eight Southeastern states that comprise FEMA Region IV. The Coronavirus is by no means a disaster and should not be classified as such, however, there could be mass disruption upon its initial arrival and spread.

                              “Packing an emergency preparedness kit helps ensure the safety and comfort of you and your family members at a time when basic public services may be disrupted,” said May.

                              An emergency preparedness kit needs to include food and water for each member of your family for three days, a battery-powered or hand-crank radio, flashlight, spare batteries, first aid kit, can opener, local maps, moist towelettes, toilet paper, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation. Other items to consider include paper towels, books, puzzles and games for children and pet food for family pets. Putting together an emergency kit isn’t a costly enterprise. Many of the items needed for your emergency kit are likely already scattered throughout your home.

                              If the Coronavirus reaches the classification of a pandemic here are steps ensuring you and your family are prepared:

                              Before a Pandemic

                                  • Store a two week supply of water and food.
                                  • Periodically check your regular prescription drugs to ensure a continuous supply in your home.
                                  • Have any nonprescription drugs and other health supplies on hand, including pain relievers, stomach remedies, cough and cold medicines, fluids with electrolytes, and vitamins.
                                  • Get copies and maintain electronic versions of health records from doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and other sources and store them, for personal reference. Get help accessing electronic health records.
                                  • Talk with family members and loved ones about how they would be cared for if they got sick, or what will be needed to care for them in your home.

                              During a Pandemic

                              Limit the Spread of Germs and Prevent Infection

                                  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
                                  • When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.
                                  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.
                                  • Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs.
                                  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
                                  • Practice other good health habits. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.

                              This is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation and Mr. Glitterati will provide updated information as it becomes available, in addition to updated guidance. Updated March 9th, 2020.
