LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — More than 1,000 people who have recently traveled to mainland China are being tracked in the effort to contain the coronavirus outbreak, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Dr. Barbara Ferrer said Tuesday.
Those being tracked are Los Angeles County residents who have traveled to mainland China over the past 14 days, and came back through LAX, Ferrer told the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.
“All of those folks, we’re calling them. We’re assigning them a public health nurse, and that’s over a thousand people,” she said. “And we will follow up with them again, for 14 days from their last exposure. We’re making sure that they know to do social distancing, not to go to work, not to go to school, they have thermometers, they are taking their temperatures every day and they are checking in with us if they start to feel sick.”
Ferrer said the department has asked companies and employers to cooperate with the effort to contain the coronavirus.

Not to worry.
It will be gone by April.

which seems to indicate they are being allowed to roam free among society, possibly contaminating many others? I've been following the saga of the Diamond Princess, quarantined and docked in Yokohama, Japan. One of the items mentioned is that a carrier can have the virus and be contagious, but not show any symptoms themselves, for days, meanwhile coming into contact with others.
Gee, what can possibly go wrong here? 
Remember, the groundhog did NOT see his shadow. So THERE!
Plus, I haven't heard about extraordinarily woolly caterpillars this year.
