    This is one of the more tangible pieces of evidence of President Trump's failure to address this situation properly.

    Care home nurse tells of terrifying and sudden ways coronavirus struck her patients — CNN

    The veteran registered nurse started her own mental checklist: cough, rapid breathing and the red eyes — all the sickest patients seemed to have the red eyes.

    For Chelsey Earnest it was the eyes that became the single most important sign as she and other staff at the Life Care Center in Kirkland, Washington, struggled with the new coronavirus that was sweeping the nursing home even before it became feared across the country.

    "It's something that I witnessed in all of them (the patients). They have, like ... allergy eyes. The white part of the eye is not red. It's more like they have red eye shadow on the outside of their eyes," Earnest said.

    The American Academy of Ophthalmology sent an alert to its members Sunday evening that there are reports Covid-19 can lead to conjunctivitis -- which can lead to a reddening of and around the eyes. It warned ophthalmologists to protect their mouth, nose and eyes when seeing patients who could be infected.

    Eye issues are not on the list of symptoms being circulated by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that stresses a high fever, dry cough and shortness of breath, though the list is not all-inclusive.

    Earnest tracked those symptoms, too. But for her and her colleagues at the Life Care Center and admitting doctors at a nearby hospital, the eyes became a sign that coronavirus had struck, she told CNN.

    "We've had patients that just had the red eyes as the only symptom that we saw and go to the hospital and pass away," she said.

    "I've even had the disaster medical control physician say, 'Do they have the red eyes?' And I will say yes. And he'll say, 'I'll find you a bed.' It's just something about this, the way that it affects these patients."​

    How are your eyes looking, folks?

    Louisiana is already foundering. Florida. Georgia.

    It's too late to stop it. Maybe we can slow it down.

    Georgia's cases are disproportionately in the Atlanta area, at least so far. Our 200,000-person area only has four confirmed cases so far.
