Five schools were closed Friday after officials learned a person from another state tested positive for COVID-19 after attending a gathering at a Bucks County residence slightly less than two weeks ago. Health officials tested all those who came in contact with the infected person and tests have come back negative.

The day before, Thursday, February 27, had been especially bad. Five separate calls for respiratory distress or fever. After several calls, the firefighters masked up -- they believed something worrisome was spreading, maybe a bad flu. But it wasn't the flu. Through the chain of command, firefighters learned that management at Life Care said a resident and health worker had been tested the week before for coronavirus, or COVID-19, a virus that had been especially cruel to the elderly and infirm. Evan Hurley, a 9-year veteran with Kirkland Fire and a union trustee, said a firefighter relayed this story: On Friday, February 28, the firefighter arrived at Life Care, walked in, and saw a charge nurse in just her scrubs. No mask, no protective gown. "Hey, you guys are supposed to be in self-quarantine," the firefighter said. "No, we're not," the nurse replied. "Well, our chain of command talked to your management, and they say something different." The nurse insisted; she hadn't heard anything, she said. The firefighter looked down the hall and saw two caregivers in scrubs -- no mask or gown. "What the hell?" the firefighter thought. "Who is not telling you that you have two suspected coronavirus cases?" Later the nurse and firefighters would learn that it was more than just two suspected cases: Two people from Life Care had died the week before from coronavirus. Eight more who had spent time at Life Care would die in the following week. At 10 that night, the firefighters heard from their captain. "You're shut down", the captain said. The first coronavirus death had been reported, and the firefighters had been exposed, as had many from across the department. In total, 31 firefighters and 3 police officers would ultimately be quarantined or isolated. As of this writing, 18 are showing symptoms.
