Two things to add to Donuel's list..homeless populations and prisons. Oh dear, I have brothers who work with each.

I don't understand why Seattle did not proclaim one hospital to be the place to have CV patients instead of one here and three here etc. You could have economy of scale with personnel, quarantine, training, housekeeping, machinery etc. At some point with a spread, they must do that and we might have to lower expectations of what a hospital is...a cow barn in south dakota??

What is concerning about the Kirkland WA case is the number of staff showing symptoms..70 out of 182 I think are quarantined or self quarantined. It was about the same rate as the elderly residents. Also the very high rates among the cruise ship staff.

There also need to be corona-free clinics for walk ins and corona possibility clinics for hopefully prearranged people. Everyone screened regardless.

One of my main concerns is the transportation of bodies and the safety of the personnel and the cleaning of the vehicles. Also I can't believe that there don't seem to be mandatory cremations or other immediate procedures of confirmed deaths. Memorial services should be by Skype or something.

Dink around with epidemics, especially in places with huge homeless populations, at your peril. It might be good that the Seattle area got hit the hardest first. Excellent medical and biotech and all sorts of tech capabilities. Bill Gates sponsoring test kits and making available soon. UW epidemiology dept., where I used to work in unrelated work, excellent.
