<ul class="summary-list"><li>LVMH's $15.8 billion Tiffany acquisition was its biggest ever — and was met with high expectations.</li><li>Some investors are skeptical about the turnaround, but things are looking up at the jewelry brand.</li></ul>On an April night last year, a veritable who's who — Blake Lively! Gabrielle Union! Hailey Beiber! Katy Perry in concert with the Rockettes! — made their way to midtown Manhattan. Many wore outfits with pops of robin egg blue.They were there to celebrate the renovation, whispered to be the most expensive retail remodel ever, of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tiffany-and-co-landmark-nyc-flagship-store-photos-2023-5">Tiffany and Co. Landmark store</a> on New York's 57th Street and Fifth Avenue.The store wasn't the only thing under renovation. When luxury giant <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/lvmh-buys-tiffany-jeweler-discount-dispute-luxury-retail-merger-2020-10">LVMH shelled out $15.8 billion</a> for storied jewelry company Tiffany in 2021, it faced outsize expectations. It was the conglomerate's biggest acquisition ever. It had also been a dramatic process, with LVMH trying to duck out of the deal and eventually buying Tiffany for hundreds of millions of dollars less.One of LVMH's biggest challenges was reinvigorating the brand, which had taken a beating in the 2010s and become a mid-market version of its former self. Going from mass appeal to upmarket is tough in any industry, let alone in jewelry, where things move slowly. Plus, pushing an American brand further into the massive luxury market of China isn't easy, no matter the macroeconomic conditions.That's led some in the industry to whisper that things haven't turned around with the speed <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/who-is-bernard-arnault-owner-louis-vuitton-lvmh-net-worth">LVMH boss Bernard Arnault</a> would have wanted. It may just require a bit more patience."The perception of investors is, 'Tiffany's not working,'" Erwan Rambourg, the global head of consumer and retail research at HSBC, told Business Insider. But "I think if you speak to people internally at LVMH, they're super happy."He continued: "To turn around a luxury brand is difficult, but to turn around a jewelry brand — it takes a lot more time than to turn around a handbag company or a ready-to-wear-heavy company."Revenue-wise, things are already on the up. HSBC estimates Tiffany's sales will be $5.96 billion this year — up 83% from 2020. And while its EBIT margin is still lagging behind that of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cartier-van-cleef-richemont-winning-luxury-beating-lvmh-kering-2024-6">jewelry competitor Cartier</a>, per the bank's estimates, it's set to hit 20% next year. Profits in LVMH's jewelry and watches division, which is predominantly made up of Bulgari and Tiffany, were up 7% last year. On the luxury resale site The RealReal, Tiffany is the most-searched jewelry brand of 2024 so far.LVMH, which does not break out revenue for individual brands, did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.It looks as if the LVMH playbook — spending big on marketing, raising prices, focusing on the in-store experience — hasn't failed."I'm very confident about Tiffany, but it takes time," Arnault told Bloomberg last month. "You cannot do things instantly, you know?"<h2 id="ae329a86-609c-4961-8d3c-466bdfa927b4">How Tiffany lost its luster</h2>Since <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tiffany-and-co-history-iconic-luxury-brand-2019-11">Tiffany</a> first started buying diamonds in 1848, it has been a destination for the wealthiest and most prestigious Americans: It's where Abraham Lincoln purchased earrings and a necklace for Mary Todd to wear to an inaugural ball and where Theodore Roosevelt bought his engraved hunting dagger.But by 2019, when LVMH first tried to buy Tiffany, the jeweler had decidedly lost its luster. Sales had fallen throughout the 2010s, and margins were low.The brand had lowered pricing on its more accessible lines, selling bracelets and the like for $200 or even less. The result was that Tiffany went from outfitting first ladies to sometimes being seen as a has-been mall brand preferred by, as the head of global luxury goods at Euromonitor Fflur Roberts put it, the very traditional stereotype of a middle-class white American."You should be ashamed of selling products that are competing with Pandora if you aspire to be competing with Cartier," HSBC's Rambourg said, adding that, at the time of the acquisition, Tiffany was a sort of "sleeping beauty."<div type="image" title="Tiffany landmark building" height="2400" width="3600" msid="111535341" hostid="261" sizebytes="551234"></div>To make matters worse, it had developed an overreliance on silver, which had fallen out of favor with European and Chinese buyers, and its stores had become dated and obsolete."Asia is a humongous market for luxury, but lots of Chinese consumers were saying, 'when I go to Tiffany, it's like going to a hospital; it's cold, it's clinical,'" Rambourg said.<h2 id="b41ab4fb-f7ee-47a4-962c-0fde0bd949b4">LVMH deploys its nearly bulletproof playbook</h2>Paris-based LVMH is a brand of brands, and Bernard Arnault's baguette and butter is buying companies and making them blow up."It was really exciting to think that a brand that is traditionally very American and has a very strong American or North American heritage, that this <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/lvmh-brands-iconic-luxury-goods-bernard-arnault-2019-10">big global luxury conglomerate</a> is buying it with obviously a huge amount of industry knowledge and financial backing," Euromonitor's Roberts told BI.LVMH has done it in jewelry before, with the more upscale Bulgari, which it purchased in 2011 (its classic Serpenti collection starts at $1,600). By 2019, the brand's revenue doubled, and profit increased fivefold."Bulgari became one of the top preferred gifting brands for Chinese high net worth individuals — that was a really good achievement," Jelena Sokolova, a senior equity analyst for Morningstar, told BI.Meanwhile at Tiffany, LVMH is using a team of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cartier-history-luxury-jewelry-watchmaker-worth">Cartier</a> veterans. ("Arnault has been not so secretly obsessed with Cartier over decades," Rambourg said.)Step one is marketing: Make people <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tiffany-co-new-diversity-plan-black-artists-students-hbcu-investment2022-7">talk about Tiffany again</a> — and use big names to do that. Even before the star-studded opening of the Fifth Avenue store, the brand brought in the big guns, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, in a multifaceted campaign incorporating a Basquiat.Another campaign incorporated the slogan "Not Your Mother's Tiffany," a not-so-subtle nod to the fact that the brand needed a makeover, and a partnership with Nike brought it new relevance.Next, there had to be a product rehaul. To sell itself as upscale, many products going for less than $300 were cut or their prices raised. Gold — popular in China — was incorporated more into collections, and it purchased a 71.26-carat yellow diamond to show its dedication to fine jewels.There was also a renewed focus on branded lines, like the Lock and T collections, which are the "equivalent of putting a big fat logo on a bag," Rambourg said. The hope was that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tiffany-lvmh-hiring-gen-z-apprenticeship-make-jewelry-2023-10">Tiffany products</a> would become status symbols, the equivalent of a Cartier Love bracelet or Van Cleef Alhambra necklace, which is particularly desired in China."Their goal was to obviously expand the reach, so to make it more global, and to increase, Asia Pacific was No. 1," Roberts said.<div type="image" title="Tiffany T collection and Lock collection bracelets" height="1500" width="3000" msid="111535340" hostid="261" sizebytes="89432"></div>The final and ongoing step involves renovating those dated retail locations. Not all will have the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/lvmh-bernard-arnault-ordered-tiffany-nyc-store-makeover-getting-lost-2023-4">grandeur of the Landmark store,</a> but there will be warmth, color, and an overall refresh.The before-and-after <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/lvmh-creating-neighborhoods-around-its-brands-2024-4">store renovation</a>, especially given "the obsolescence of the previous version and how colorful, welcoming, feminine and commercially efficient the new concept is," will be a big deal, Rambourg said.<h2 id="48339e50-a83a-4344-9fbf-6b12e8b9e09f">Growing pains have tarnished Tiffany</h2>But reviving a luxury brand isn't easy, and investors have been murmuring that Tiffany's turnaround hasn't met expectations. It's still Van Cleef Alhambra bracelets on the arms of influencers and celebrities — not Tiffany Ts. (Although Taylor Swift was recently spotted with a ring from the T line, which may change that.)"Tiffany has been underperforming other jewelry brands in the last few quarters," Chiara Battistini, JPMorgan's head of European luxury and sporting goods research, told BI.Part of it is the industry's nature: Fine jewelry is, by definition, not an everyday purchase.Someone may buy a new pair of shoes every few months, allowing them to experiment with new brands and become a loyal shopper in no time at all. Jewelry is a rare splurge. When people shell out a paycheck or two (or more), they want it to be on something they know will have lasting appeal and are thus less likely to experiment. That means it takes longer for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jewelry-whats-popular-and-out-of-style-right-now-2024">new trends</a> — the Tiffany T, perhaps — to catch on and gain the status of a Cartier Love bracelet."At the very, very high end, the chances are you'll be a bit more careful because it's a huge investment, and you want to make sure that that fashion or trend will last," Roberts said.China, specifically, has proven challenging. Nearly 50% of Tiffany's sales are still in the US, one of the most challenging markets for luxury at the moment. Macroeconomically, China has not maintained the post-pandemic growth many in the industry were hoping for.There's also the sort of je ne sais quoi that can't simply be fixed with money. Hiring influencers and raising prices can only do so much to remove the tarnish of "uncool" from Tiffany, especially with younger consumers.It "still needs to add to the fine jewelry offer with more contemporary, less intricate, and highly recognizable designs," Battistini said.And regardless of sales growth, all of the brand work — the marketing, the store renovations — is expensive and translates to a temporary hit to profitability.<h2 id="b9daa0b7-14ce-40bb-b8f5-a63d9e34f8fe">Tiffany still has time to shine</h2>Since 1961, when Audrey Hepburn immortalized it in "Breakfast at Tiffany's," the brand's Fifth Avenue flagship has held a romantic allure — it's also one of the brightest spots in LVMH's Tiffany takeover.The Landmark, as it's called, underwent a massive renovation before reopening in 2023, including adding a café."Tiffany has been hugely successful with the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/blue-box-cafe-what-its-like-have-breakfast-at-tiffanys-2020-1">Blue Box Cafe</a> — it's a tourist destination in itself," Roberts said. "When you go into a Tiffany store, you're going to expect to have that amazing experience in customer service."<div type="image" title="Hailey Bieber at Tiffany opening" height="595" width="892" msid="111535346" hostid="261" sizebytes="47658"></div>And if LVMH gets its way, the other pieces of its plan for Tiffany will similarly fall into place over time."It is a very long journey, especially in jewelry," Sokolova said. " You shouldn't expect that to happen sort of overnight."The store renovations, which analysts agree are a key component of the strategy, are certainly happening gradually. There are about 300 Tiffany locations, and only 30% of them will be renovated by the end of this year, Rambourg said. It will take another year before half of them are up to the company's standard.But once those renovations and the marketing blitz surrounding them are complete, margins will have a chance to catch up."This year, I believe Tiffany will underperform its jewelry peers because they don't have the appropriate retail setup. Conversely, whatever the macro next year, I'm quite convinced they will outperform strongly," Rambourg said.In another bright spot, branded jewelry — just the thing Tiffany has leaned into — is set to continue to grow, including in China. Branded jewelry was only 15% of the market in 2019 and is expected to reach 25% to 30% of the market next year, according to a 2021 McKinsey report, with growth driven predominantly by Asia."It's a growth industry, not just a market share gain industry," Sokolova said."There's still an upside from switching from nonbranded to branded."It's already having a trickle-down effect: On <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-the-realreal-is-using-ai-to-find-fakes-2024-5">The RealReal</a>, demand for the brand is up 14% from last year.And quite simply, there is the fact that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chinese-fans-asked-lvmh-ceo-arnault-bless-their-children-2024-6">LVMH very rarely fails</a> and is taking its signature approach full speed ahead. "Whether it's handbags, whether it's Champagne, whether it's cognac" — or whether it's jewelry, LVMH's attitude, Rambourg said, is "Let's do what we do in every single other sector. Let's dominate."

Critics roasted LVMH for spending big on Tiffany. 4 years later, the bet doesn't look so bad.

Business Insider and Politico share a parent company, Axel Springer.TAIPEI — The stakes for Taiwan's democracy could hardly be higher in a tight presidential election on Saturday, with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/category/xi-jinping">China's leader, Xi Jinping,</a> delivering an ominous New Year's address in which he insisted "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.politico.eu/article/taiwan-china-reunification-inevitable-xi-jinping-election-2024/">reunification of the motherland is a historical inevitability</a>."The vote cuts to the heart of a battle for regional influence between Beijing and Washington, and all eyes will be on China's reaction to Saturday's vote.The nightmare scenario for global security would be a regional conflict centered on an island that makes <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-china-tech-war-computer-chips-semiconductor-plants-costing-americans-2023-1">more than 90% of the world's advanced microchips</a>, vital for iPhones and electric vehicles alike.<div type="image" title="Advertisement of the Democratic Progressive Party on a Bus in Taipei." height="3024" width="4032" msid="106641459" hostid="261" sizebytes="614952"></div>The frontrunner by a narrow margin is Vice President William Lai of the Democratic Progressive Party. Lai is a proponent of Taipei's sovereignty and is seeking to shore up relations with the US, Europe, and other democracies.His main rival is Hou Yu-ih, from the Kuomintang party, who takes a friendlier approach to Beijing.The winner will succeed Tsai Ing-wen from the DPP, who has served two terms, an eight-year stint over which Beijing has upped its aggression toward Taipei.This has been particularly true in recent months, with the Taiwanese defense ministry saying in September that a record number of Chinese warplanes had crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, the 100-mile waterway separating the island from the mainland.China's Communist government, which considers Taiwan a breakaway province, views the DPP as an archnemesis and wants to see it out of power.The big question is how Beijing will react if the pro-independence forces win an unprecedented third term.<div type="image" title="Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party holds rally in Taoyuan, Taiwan." height="1980" width="2640" msid="106641461" hostid="261" sizebytes="247566"></div>On Saturday evening, both Lai and Hou staged election rallies in the same district in Taoyuan, a city close to the capital, attracting tens of thousands of mostly middle-age and older supporters.Both parties claimed an attendance of over 100,000. The DPP was out to burnish its credentials as a staunch opponent to a hostile Beijing."Only by building a strong national defense can we protect the Taiwan Strait's security," Lai told the crowd.Hou, by contrast, sought to cast the DPP as corrupt and liable to precipitate a showdown with Xi."Corruption is on the way, dark money is on the way, warmongering is on the way, and Taiwan independence is on the way," he said at a rival gathering nearby."Taiwan independence" is a loaded phrase as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/xi-biden-china-going-take-over-taiwan-war-report-apec-2023-12">Beijing warns such a move "means war."</a>Here's what you need to know about the race:<h2>Who's in the running?</h2>It's basically a three-way contest.Lai of the DPP is vying to succeed his boss, the outgoing Tsai, and has been vice president for the past four years. Beijing is extremely critical of Lai, who called himself a "pragmatic worker for Taiwan independence" in 2017.He's joined by Bi-khim Hsiao, the vice-presidential candidate who's a famous figure in Washington, having served as Taiwan's de facto ambassador to the US.Lai, a 64-year-old Harvard graduate, hails from a humble background.His father died in a mining accident when he was not yet a year old, and he was among six children raised by his mother. Before he became vice president, he was the mayor of Tainan and later Taiwan's premier.On the Beijing-friendly front, the KMT, or Nationalist Party, is represented by Hou, a former police officer who is the mayor of New Taipei City, just outside the capital.Hou, however, is viewed with skepticism by some in the KMT.<div type="image" title="Hou Yu-ih, Taiwan presidential candidate from the main opposition Kuomintang (KMT), is greeted by supporters during a campaign rally in Kaohsiung on January 7, 2024." height="3326" width="5000" msid="106641697" hostid="261" sizebytes="607650"></div>Within the KMT, the hardcore supporters believe in a pan-Chinese identity, as many of their families came from the mainland and moved to Taiwan reluctantly only after the Communist takeover in 1949.Hou's family, in contrast, had been in Taiwan for generations, and is considered as native Taiwanese instead of Chinese from mainland provinces.This tension prompted Hou to show proof of his father's record as a KMT veteran and warship repairer during fighting against the Communists in the 1940s, even though he was also conscripted by the Imperial Japanese Army during the colonization of Taiwan. After the wars, his father became a butcher.There's a third party this time (which is not always the case): the Taiwan People's Party, led by former Mayor Ko Wen-je of Taipei, who's especially popular among young voters.The party claims to occupy the middle ground between the two traditional camps.<h2>What do the polls say?</h2>There's no clear favorite.Taiwan has a 10-day blackout period on polls ahead of the election.In the most recent numbers, released last week, the DPP's Lai led Hou by 3 to 11 percentage points across different polls. Ko consistently came last.<div type="image" title="Taiwan Vice President and presidential candidate of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Lai Ching-te greets supporters on January 8, 2024." height="4000" width="6000" msid="106641702" hostid="261" sizebytes="4133596"></div>But pollsters also cautioned about significant fluctuations.In previous months, Lai's lead was often within the margin of error, showing it's all to play for, especially as Ko's TPP peels off youthful support and complicates the arithmetic.<h2>How does it work?</h2>There will be just one round. The candidate with the highest number of votes will be the winner on a first-past-the-post basis, regardless of the turnout or share of votes.Some 19.3 million of the island's 23.6 million people are eligible voters. One million of them will be voting for the first time.In the most recent presidential contest, in 2020, Tsai won 57%, with a record 8 million votes.Her popularity boost was thanks largely to shock in Taiwan over Beijing's heavy-handed response to the Hong Kong protests in 2019.The new president will be sworn in May 20.The national parliament, or the Legislative Yuan, is also up for grabs on the same day, with the 113 lawmakers to be chosen.The TPP vows to win enough seats to block either the DPP or the KMT from securing a simple majority, though polling remains inconclusive whether this would be likely.Lai, the sitting vice president running as a candidate, appealed on Saturday to supporters to back all DPP candidates in the legislative poll too, warning that he would not be able to run the country efficiently if his party failed to take at least half of the legislature's seats.<h2>When will we know the result?</h2>The result was announced at 10:30 p.m. (9:30 a.m. ET) four years ago.As soon as the polls close at 4 p.m., counting begins and is constantly updated, so there's a good chance of clarity before the final official announcement.<h2>What is at stake?</h2>The election forms part of a broader geopolitical rivalry between China and the US.While Beijing has been beefing up its military for any conflict in the South China Sea, Chinese officials have also stressed military options are a last resort — at least in public statements — if peaceful reunification is no longer feasible.If the ruling DPP wins, it would be the first time that the pro-independence party has won power for a third successive term since Taiwan became a democracy in 1996.Beijing could interpret that as a signal that there's little public appetite for future reunification, especially among the younger generation that has less connection with China, raising the specter that Beijing could feel the need to up the stakes.<div type="image" title="Chinese President Xi Jinping speaks during an event to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Message to Compatriots in Taiwan." height="2667" width="4000" msid="106641706" hostid="261" sizebytes="288122"></div>With that in mind, military tensions are already on the rise. In addition to the increased brinkmanship with warplanes, China in October launched a "Long March" satellite-carrying rocket into space over Taiwan, the first to take such a path.Beijing blames the Taiwanese government for pushing the island into "the abyss of catastrophe.""The DPP authorities are seeking independence by relying on the US, turning Taiwan into a powder keg and an island of explosives," the Chinese defense ministry spokesman Wu Qian said in December.To some degree, Taiwan is already prepared for an escalation.After then-US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's whirlwind visit in 2022, Beijing's People's Liberation Army <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-taiwan-military-drills-tourists-pelosi-trip-photos-2022-8">launched unprecedented joint military exercises</a> around Taiwanese airspace and waters.The danger is that China could go further this year.

Taiwan is heading for a pivotal election that will define its fraught relationship with China. Here's what's at stake.

They're all preparing for somebody to walk through their doors with a case of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-virus-everything-we-know-deadly-2019-ncov-wuhan-spread-2020-1">the new coronavirus</a>.The outbreak has spread to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-wuhan-virus-map-cities-countries-spread-infected-2020-1">over two dozen countries</a> since it started in Wuhan, China, in December. More than 30,000 people have gotten sick, and more than 630 have died. The US has confirmed <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-us-cases-health-risk-2020-1">12 cases of the virus</a>; the first was identified at the Providence Regional Medical Center in Snohomish County, Washington, on January 21. (For the latest case total, death toll, and travel information, see <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-virus-everything-we-know-deadly-2019-ncov-wuhan-spread-2020-1">Business Insider's live updates here</a>.)"Once we either identify or a patient self-identifies as potentially being at risk, we try incredibly hard to prevent any kind of spread beyond that moment in time," Dr. Amy Compton-Phillips, chief clinical officer at the Providence medical network, told Business Insider.Medical staff at other hospitals, similarly, don gloves, goggles, and masks before seeing potential coronavirus patients."A lot of our patients are from many different countries and travel," Kim Leslie, an emergency-department nursing director at Swedish Hospital in Chicago, told Business Insider. "The likelihood of us coming across it is high, so we're trying to have a plan for what to do."Medical staff at six US hospitals told Business Insider how they handle patients who might have the new coronavirus. Here are their plans - and what one hospital did after a case was confirmed. <h2>If you're sick and recently visited China, call ahead</h2>In late January, Leslie said, a man came into the emergency department at Swedish Hospital saying he was sick and had recently visited China. That raised a red flag. The first thing medics want to know is whether a potential patient traveled to China in the last two weeks. The second question is about symptoms: Medics are looking for fever with respiratory issues like coughing or shortness of breath.Those are the two criteria for potential cases of the new coronavirus, according to <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/clinical-criteria.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fclinical-criteria.html">guidelines</a> from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).<a href="https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2018%3Anewsml_RC15B22FA9D0&amp;share=true">Hannah McKay/Reuters</a>People wait in the waiting room at Milton Keynes University Hospital in Milton Keynes, England, June 8, 2018.Saint Francis Memorial Hospital in San Francisco has signs posted in multiple languages telling people to inform the hospital staff if they have these red flags, according to Dr. Kathleen Jordan, an infectious-disease specialist at the hospital."Everybody that comes in is screened and asked about those two risk factors," Jordan told Business Insider. "If they have those risk factors, then they're isolated immediately."Of course, if a patient has had contact with someone confirmed to have the virus, then any symptom is a concern.The CDC <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/guidance-prevent-spread.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fguidance-prevent-spread.html">recommends that</a> people who think they might have the coronavirus <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-to-do-if-you-think-you-have-wuhan-coronavirus-2020-2">call their doctor before visiting a hospital or clinic</a> unless they have a medical emergency. That allows staff to organize safe transportation if needed and prepare for the patient's arrival to minimize risk of spreading the virus.Someone with undiagnosed coronavirus sitting in a waiting room, by contrast, could spread the illness to other patients or healthcare workers."The scary part for me would be someone just kind of coming into an ER, especially with how crowded they are nowadays," Mia Martinez, a flight nurse at Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago, told Business Insider. <h2>Coronavirus patients get a negative-pressure room</h2>Anyone who has virus symptoms and recently went to China is given a face mask and escorted to an isolation room.Swedish Hospital uses a negative-pressure chamber with a ventilation system that keeps air pressure inside the room lower than the air pressure outside it. That way, air flows into the room but not out. Hospitals also use this technology to prevent the spread of tuberculosis.<a href="https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/negative-pressure-patient-room-is-seen-in-the-emergency-news-photo/86299984">Mandel Ngan/AFP via Getty Images</a>A negative-pressure room in the emergency department of Washington Hospital Center, April 30, 2009 in Washington, DC."We're certainly using lessons learned in flu and tuberculosis," Jordan said. "But because we don't know as much about the coronavirus we sort of err on the side of caution and we're using a higher level of protective equipment."Anybody who enters the room where a potential coronavirus patient is being treated wears protective gear, including gloves, gowns, eye protection like goggles or a face shield, and an N95 respirator mask.<a href="https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2NPE97KX2Y&amp;share=true">P. Ravikumar/Reuters</a>Medical staff with protective clothing work in a ward specialized in receiving any person who may have been infected with coronavirus, at the Rajiv Ghandhi Government General hospital in Chennai, India, January 29, 2020.Some hospitals, like the one that treated the Washington patient, use TV screens to video chat with patients inside the room for simple check-ins in order to reduce medical workers' exposure.Richard Martinello, an associate professor of infectious disease at the Yale School of Medicine, works at a doctor's office that does not have negative pressure rooms, however. So when one patient came in saying he had been to China and felt sick, Martinello said his staff brought the man to a back room, far from other patients. The man's condition was mild, so the staff sent him home with a warning to stay in the house and wait for his test results."We're really using the same criteria that we would typically use day-to-day for persons with the flu or with other infections to determine whether or not they need to be hospitalized," Martinello said.The test came back negative.<h2>Questions for potential coronavirus patients</h2>Epidemiologists ask potential coronavirus patients a list of personal questions: Whether they have recently had sex with anyone (especially while traveling), which specific locations they visited, who they had contact with, what they ate, and what they did in each place they went. That helps doctors determine the patient's risk of exposure to the coronavirus.In the meantime, medics take a blood sample and swab the back of the patient's throat, then send those materials to the local health department for testing.<a href="https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2015%3Anewsml_GF10000116832&amp;share=true">Pichi Chuang/Reuters</a>Taipei mayor Ko Wen-je looks at a negative pressure isolation room (shown on the monitor) during a drill at the Taipei City Hospital Chunghsin Branch in Taipei, Taiwan, June 4, 2015.At Swedish Hospital, questioning was enough to determine that their patient had not been exposed to the new coronavirus."After that scrutiny, [he] did not meet the criteria to be concerned. So we lessened his level of isolation, out of that room, and considered him just your basic average flu," Leslie said.Even if a patient is confirmed to have the coronavirus, there is no specific medication for it, so doctors simply treat the symptoms and ensure the patient gets enough oxygen and fluids. If the person doesn't have difficulty breathing or other serious symptoms, doctors will likely send them home and tell them to stay away from other people.A positive coronavirus test does, however, initiate a flurry of communication between the hospital, its local public health department, and the CDC.REUTERS/Martin PollardA worker in a protective suit checks the temperature of a passenger arriving at the Xianning North Station in Xianning, a city bordering Wuhan to the north, in Hubei province, China January 24, 2020."We had a lot more people consulting on this case than the average person with the flu," Compton-Phillips said of the first US man treated for the coronavirus. The network she oversees includes 51 hospitals and more than 800 clinics."There was a lot more coordinating phone calls with public-health organizations, with the CDC, with the New England Journal, with other people caring for affected patients, so that we could learn really fast from clinician to clinician," she added.Dr. Jon Mark Hirshon, a professor of emergency medicine and epidemiology at University of Maryland School of Medicine, summed up the entire process like this: "First we identify, second we isolate, then we inform."<h2>Since there's no cure, medics treat symptoms</h2>If patients' symptoms are severe, they'll be hospitalized. On Monday, a husband and wife diagnosed with the new coronavirus in San Benito County, California, showed worsening symptoms, so they were <a href="https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2020/02/03/coronavirus-san-francisco-patients-santa-clara-san-benito-cdc/">transferred</a> from their home to a hospital at the University of California, San Francisco. Medical transport teams wear the same protective gear as hospital workers, Martinez said."You keep it on the whole time," she added.<a href="https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC1FDF474230&amp;share=true">Agencja Gazeta/Marek Podmokly/Reuters</a>An Polish medical air rescue helicopter takes part in a rescue operation after a thunderstorm in the Tatra Mountains, in Zakopane, Poland, August 22, 2019.Doctors gave the Washington patient drugs to prevent nausea, acetaminophen and ibuprofen for fever, cough medicine, saline fluid for hydration, oxygen, and antibiotics. After seven days in the hospital, he also received an experimental antiviral treatment called remdesivir."Usually, just like the flu, it's symptomatic treatment and supportive treatment," Leslie said.As of Monday, the Washington man had gone home with nothing but a cough.From the moment a potential patient calls or walks into the hospital, Compton-Phillips said, handling their case is a careful process."They're scared. They're sick. They need compassionate care," Compton-Phillips said. "So we're trying to provide that personalized and compassionate care, while at the same time minimizing any potential for transmission."<ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-to-do-if-you-think-you-have-wuhan-coronavirus-2020-2">Experts urge anyone who thinks they're sick with the coronavirus to call before going to a US hospital.
