The ex-director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday that the deadly coronavirus may be “impossible” to contain — and that kids may be secret carriers of the disease.
“We think it will be very difficult if not impossible to contain it … but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try,” Dr. Tom Frieden told reporters.
Frieden, who ran the agency under President Obama and was the New York City health commissioner under Mayor Mike Bloomberg, said the spread of the virus to more than 89,000 people across the world has been an “unprecedented situation.”
“Never before have we seen a pathogen emerge and have global spread like this. That is scary,” Frieden said.
Frieden pointed to evidence that people with mild or no symptoms, including children, may be secret carriers of the virus.
He cited a report of a 10-year-old boy who visited the outbreak’s epicenter in China and didn’t show any symptoms of the virus. But when the boy’s parents insisted doctors test him, he was diagnosed with the virus, according to the Lancet medical journal.

But it is known asymptomatic persons can spread the disease.
Head in sand because “it’s just a flu”
3rd paragraph is all you need to know.
Total BULLSHIT.
See? This confirms my conspiracy theory. The Social Security Administration and Medicare created and released this virus to save the programs. What better way to spread it than via the grandkids. ;-)

89,000 people infected worldwide from a total global population of 6 billion. Yeah, unprecedented for sure. All part of the plan to confuse and scare the American people into blaming Trump!
Yeah, that Spanish Flu had nothing on this thing.
The flu has killed 18,000 in the U.S. alone, so what exactly is your point?
Actually it doesn’t. The first two months of the Spanish Flu were small sporadic occurrences. It didn’t get moving until the six month mark.
“89,000 people infected worldwide from a total global population of 6 billion. Yeah, unprecedented for sure. All part of the plan to confuse and scare the American people into blaming Trump!”
The Trump haters aren’t blaming him for the worldwide spread (yet).
Would you want us to run around in circles screaming and pulling our hair out like little girls??
Cause i’m sorry but that’s what some of you kinda sound like.
No offense to little girls :)
It is what it is.
Take precautions and take each day.
Frieden is an Obama Alinskyite.
” Leave no crisis unexploited.”
Just kill the little rug rat germ carriers, they should have been aborted anyway?(Sarc.)
Give em time. They will. The Democrats are gonna call for coronavirus hearings before the fall recess and the elections. You know they have something planned on this issue. They are beyond desperate now!
Do you are! Kids carry every virus known to man
Isn't that what the mainstream Fake News does every night ?
Quick get a swab from Greta....
She may be the master carrier.
That might be the reason the Demonrats want them all exterminated in the womb.
How dare you !
