Confirmation today of the first transmission to occur inside of the U.S. of a person with no known contact with a patient. Transmission happened near Travis AFB. An HHS whistleblower reported HHS employees unloaded repatriated coronavirus patients without protective equipment or adequate training.

We don't buy trip insurance for Disney, but I was already working on a trip to India next December, so took a look at AIG's press release regarding coronavirus. Although there are more details in the report, the big points:

- "If you contract Coronavirus while on a covered trip, you could be covered for Medical Expense and Trip Interruption/Curtailment benefits if there is a confirmed diagnosis, subject to the terms and conditions of your insurance policy. If you are quarantined as a result of Coronavirus, you could be covered under the Trip Interruption/Curtailment benefit, subject to the terms and conditions of your insurance policy."
