UPDATE: The day after this cartoon was published, the CDC informed Gerry and Mario of their test results. Gerry tested positive for coronavirus, Mario tested negative. Gerry – who is not showing any symptoms – was moved to another site for monitoring and told she would be sent home in a few days to self-quarantine. The CDC initially told Mario he must begin another 14-day quarantine at Travis AFB but then sent him home immediately (short of his completing his initial 14-day quarantine period) via ambulance to self-quarantine.
I watched with fascination as the Grand Princess cruise ship, with at least 21 people infected with the coronavirus, docked in Oakland on March 9.
Then I found out my neighbors (who also offer five tips for living in quarantine) were on the ship.
