was wondering if it acted like other virus - in that - you get - you recover - you can't get it again - do we know that to be the cse?
Short-term, you're probably covered for a 3-6 months like the seasonal flu and/or a cold UNLESS it mutates quickly.
Long-term, who knows? And this is the key question for vaccine design, at least in terms of looking for a vaccine that provides long lasting immunity in terms of years.
Our friend just found out that someone ( ! ) in her condo complex (55 and over) has the COVID19 but the "Association" letter from the complex will not tell the other owners there who it is. Is this the HIPPA crap ? Thoughts ?

they definitely should so that the other tenants know if they've had any interaction with her.........
was just watching Fox Business news & they mentioned the D word - not R
That we were headed for a Depression not Recession. Expect unemployment to jump to 30% shortly.
Agreed- but who does our friend complain to ? The condo association is obviously scared of being sued by the sicko.
NY Health Services or Police as a start. That's represents a health hazard.

US Department of Health and Human Services, they are responsible for HIPAA administration.
Like it or not, it's a Federal Regulation to protect people's medical information. Think of it as your Health SSN. Would you want folks posting your SSN???
No, I would just want to know if my friend should be self-quarantined even more than she already is. I could care less about the infected's SSAN just whether or not she needs to be carefully monitored since our friend has had numerous surgeries and cancer over the last 5 years. Don't the other 100 people who may have had contact with the infected have any rights ?

I was surprised when I saw the New Rochelle lawyer's name pasted all over the place.

State Health Dept checks recent contacts reported to them by patient. That's how HOA found out. If your friend hadn't been contacted, then there was no reported interaction by the sick person. That being said, she should be vigilant and stay at home as much as possible and in her case for as long as possible considering her circumstances.
Thems the rules of HIPAA, like them or not. They drove me nuts for years.

He must have allowed. If not, he or one of his colleagues is going to have a field day in the courts.

Holy crap!
They apparently aren't fooling around. Did you notice how that officer (big guy) exited the car & took out that guy? He knew what he was going to do the minute he exited the vehicle. Looks like the guy's head slammed into the asphalt - that had to hurt.
