I FEEL LIKE THIS IS MOSTLY ABOUT THE MONEY: San Francisco declares local emergency amid coronavirus outbreak. “This declaration will help the city get resources they need to respond to an outbreak. . . . Three people have been treated for the coronavirus in the city. None of the patients are San Francisco residents.”

UPDATE (From Ed): To be fair, we are talking about San Francisco, after all: Fecal transmission may be responsible for coronavirus’s rapid spread.
