That didn’t take long ...

[UCANSEE2]

The world is about to change drastically, again.

Sum Ting Wong?............ 😱

[fruser1]

It begins...

[Jeff Chandler]

Oh goody.

WP Update:

The man is a resident of Snohomish County, Wash., who experienced symptoms after returning from a trip to the region around Wuhan, China, where the outbreak began. He was hospitalized with pneumonia last week, and infection with the coronavirus was confirmed on Monday afternoon.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

[BuffaloJack]

6 deaths out of 291 patients is just over 2% fatality rate.
Serious stuff.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Lets him cough on Pelosi, Schumer, and Schiff and let’s see how fast this thing spreads

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Good Lord, we’re all going to die again.

Per NBC news the patient is a male, is in good condition. If the patient is a foreign national, wonder who’s paying for his care. And if the CDC is doing contact tracing.

[GOPJ]

Sounds like we’re dealing with ‘highly contagious’...

I went through the SARS “epidemic” in 2003 in Asia.

The worst thing was the intense government and social reaction/over-reaction.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

The screenings include a very limited number of departure cities in China and a very limited number of destination cities in the U.S. It is WAY too limited and should be expanded rapidly.

A healthy, 36 year old mom of five young kids died a month ago from Influenza B in our town of Hayden, Idaho. Three young children died in Idaho from the flu in December.

It's astonishing how quickly influenza can take a life.

[Veggie Todd]

Paging Stu Redman.

[ptsal]

How many thousands of travelers were exposed.
Shame.

[Leep]

I am guessing.. but i bet 90% of the Chinese coming to America ..land in Canada first.. rent a tour bus, or rent a car, and head south..in this case, Wash. State.

[Leep]

I guessed wrong..he brought it back with him.

[Balding_Eagle]

One of the earliest symptoms of this disease is an insatiable desire to board an airplane Bound for the United States.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

No need for a census to tell us how many more Chinese there are in America than we are led to believe.

Just chart the course of this virus...

[desertsolitaire]

M.O.O.N. that spells SCARY.
