Don't worry about visiting Florida! People in Florida are immune to Coronavirus, as long as censorship is in place.
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/health-care/article240390676.html

More dangerous than the virus is the fear it causes. Some level of censorship should be in place to protect stupid Americans from themselves.
Not that the government should stop the media from posting things, but the government should withhold certain facts that the people don't have to know.

1st case in Florida? Censored?
https://new.thescoopradioshow.com/concern-in-sarasota-county-after-a-document-on-doctors-hospital-letter-head-advises-the-public-that-a-presumptive-case-has-tested-positive-for-coronavirus/

Censored, indeed. 
If you live in/visiting Florida, do you trust the public officials to tell the truth? Does this censorship make us safer?

Great quote from the original article -  "And if there’s a confirmed case, it will absolutely be reported.” -Surgeon General Scott Rivkees

https://www.jpost.com/HEALTH-SCIENCE/Israel-could-consider-placing-US-travelers-to-Israel-under-quarantine-619608

Since I don't tend to believe media outlets, much less so Israeli ones, I will take this with a teaspoon of salt.

That being said, if indeed this is being considered, someone should give these guys a huge wakeup זעץ.

14 day quarantines will do close to nothing. You can't take Wuhan style measures all over the world. This is and will continue spreading. Education as to avoidance is the most that can be done. You can't fight a coming hurricane or tsunami, but you could prepare with protective measures. Those protective measures don't include suicide (which is fool proof, as we've never heard of catastrophies happening to the dead).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Another confirmed case in NY.
Westchester Day School is closed, in addition to SAR Academy. Both schools are associated with the Westchester County man who has tested positive.

Any reports yet how/where he caught it?
All they're saying is that he's from/in NY and visited Miami.

Given the incubation period and the fact that it’s a frum guy who presumably goes to shul it is exceedingly likely that it is already becoming widespread in the frum community as we speak.

Not as potentially dangerous and handshakes. Though maybe one should be carrying disinfectant wipes everywhere and wipe hands after each contact.
