A case of the new coronavirus from China has been confirmed in a patient in Washington state, just north of Seattle, federal health officials said Tuesday. The mysterious pneumonia-like illness has killed at least six people and sickened hundreds in Asia, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said....

SUPIRSE, SURPRISE.
The Bubonic plague began in China.

I NEVER believe the Chinese press because they LIE, LIE and LIE some more.
Their hygienic practices are non-existent. If cleanliness were free...different story. But cleanliness COSTS money and people get NO MONEY from it.
So filth is cheap but the price is these occasional plagues.
Let's HOPE it stays in China.

An epidemic occurs when a disease affects a greater number people than is usual for the locality or one that spreads to areas not usually associated with the disease.
A pandemic is an epidemic of world-wide proportions. Check out infoplease.com for more information about Major U.S. Epidemics.

The CDC said he arrived in the United States around Jan. 15 after having visited Wuhan.

Are there plans to contact those travelers on the plane? A quarantine? This article is terrible as usual, NBC.

And it's called the #WuhanFlu

Since I got the Asian Flu in 1957 I have noticed that one or two layers beneath each new virus story they named China or other Asian place as the origin. Funny.

The Chinese government has withheld samples of a virulent strain of avian flu from American researchers for over a year, the New York Times reports. And this strain of flu prevalent in birds, called H7N9, is particularly fatal, killing 40% of people who contract it.

I thought they might be waiting to use it as a biological weapon against us. No defense here for our innocent citizens.

Nizonide (Nitazoxanide) has been shown to be effective against numerous viruses, including HIV, Hep B and C, Ebola, and Coronavirus. It’s been used for decades as an anti-malarial drug and has been given to millions of children and is considered a very safe drug. Read more at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitazoxanide

Stop these flights.

Should be a very easy decision: All flights from China and all persons having visited China in the past 30 days are prohibited from entering the United States and its territories until further notice.

We really don't know HOW many people died from the Bubonic plague, started in China. You can start enumerating all the plagues in our world. This is 2020 for heavens sake--not the 14th century.

For all that's happened in the world you would THINK that the Chinese would have LEARNED by now that cleanliness isn't so expensive. They still use human fecal waste to fertilize their farms.
The Chinese government KNOWS better but they just WON'T control the filth.

I've been to China. They couldn't hide the filth from us and we were shown ONLY the nicest, cleanest places in the PRC. Lord have MERCY!

Perhaps it’s due partly to my age, but this winter, around Christmas time, I got a nasty upper respiratory cold. It happened despite getting a flue shot in November and being up to date with a pneumonia shot. It was likely a virus, as so many are, but unlike the others I have had over the years, this one just hung on and on. Eventually, I went to the doc and was put on an antibiotic regime, a cough suppressant, an expectorant, and an inhaler. Now that I feel I have finally licked the sucker, I read about a brand new vicious strain just breaking out in China and the U.S. If you know anything about viruses you know they spread like red hot embers whipped up by the winds of a wildfire, so it’s unlikely we will escape the wrath of this one, especially given how world travel is today. Apparently, this one first presents itself like mine did as nothing more than a simple winter cold. They’re sneaky because in the beginning it is not so severe as to cause self-quarantine, prevent travel or cause the victim to seek medical attention. What seems to separates these new strains is how quickly they get stuck in your upper respiratory track and will not leave on their own without medical intervention. Fortunately, I got rid of mine before it settled in my lungs.

It was just a matter of time.

You have been to China and most of us have not.

What is your take on the Chinese withholding samples of virus last year? Old time Great Wall of China suspicion? Or a plan to use as weapons against us and allies? Like their practice hacks on our water supply and electrical grid, plus jobs taken for espionage as well as intellectual property theft?

This area near me has a huge Chinese population (not only 4,352 college student ones—many others settled down and have anchor babies. I know they travel back and forth to China often. See airport travel style luggage being loaded and unloaded near here almost daily and airport limo stops here often.

Don’t bring us any “gifts” from your disease infested home, guys.

Airplane cabins are notorious for spreading virus to passengers.

I was told to always have the air blower open and pointing against the face to blow away any cabin virus in the air.

I had the Asiatic Flu (that’s what we called it in NJ) in 1957 - I was 5 or 6 years old and was very sick. I still recall hallucinating that I was falling out of bed— they said I was delirious. Doctors made house calls in those days. My father brought me lollipops with Comedy and Tragedy faces, and an orange-colored portable television so I could watch tv in bed, all 5 channels. I’d watch the same Million Dollar Movie all day long.
