COVID-19 case confirmed on base 3/23

[Goldenhawk]

Just heard that a COVID-19 case was confirmed positive (by testing). The individual is apparently a member of one of the large test teams on base.

I'd first heard about the potential case over a week ago - it took them quite some time to get results apparently.

There's a lot of bases in the area...I assume you are talking about Pax?

Yes. There are only two test bases in the area, and that's the only one with large teams.

Yes. There are only two test bases in the area, and that's the only one with large teams.

Wonder if it is related to the case in the Triton hanger.

 

[Goldenhawk]

That's what I just heard.

Depending on how you look at it, most of the test teams are large. Hornets been around a while, but always has new stuff coming in, so that team is large, Helos, taken as a whole, large team. P-8 and JSF, new platforms, and so large teams. I think TRiton might be smaller than any of those.

Can you please tell us where you heard this?

I'd rather not. I'm sure things will be well-publicized soon and I don't want to get anyone in trouble. By the way, the BayNet just posted an article I'd bet is related.

Reports of Potential COVID-19 Public Exposure Risk at Walmart, Weis Markets & Family Care Pharmacy - The BayNet

Nothing about this article relates.

Related to the BayNet article... a family member stops at that Weis regularly on Tues/Thurs at nearly those times, and probably missed contact by a few minutes. So yeah, folks, physical distancing is a real thing.

Could be the same person.

Oh, it relates when you realize that the newly identified individual is probably the one noted in the article.

My wife works in an office in the same building (is on the Triton flight test team), has been telecommuting since the middle of last week.
Was told late this afternoon to not report to work until informed that the building has been professionally sanitized.

She has not been contacted as someone who may have had contact with the person.

Those 6 degrees of separation keep getting smaller and smaller...

3700?

 

[Goldenhawk]

If it's a large test team they probably mean the Triton hangar, which would be 2816. That info can be found in various places online.

 

[Goldenhawk]

Scuttlebutt is there's a second case on the same team.

 

[tipsymcgee]

I know someone who was possibly at said base spot and is now on a 2-week quarantine just to be safe.

Wife just told me that, does work in 2816.
