I don’t think we can really say how deadly it is until it hits a country with some advanced health care.

I am certain that people in China are not getting all that they need to combat this.

The guy in Washington being treated by a robot will be interesting to watch.

The people on the plane that went to Canada with the virus will also give us huge clues.

Fireworks factory?

That’d be the place to pitch a tent. No virus could survive that.

[RummyChick]

I guess that means he hasn’t been to China so nothing to see...no reason to test as per their parameters.

[Vermont Lt]

Pretty sure those numbers are very, very low. You don’t lock up 50 million people for the everyday flu. I believe very little of what China is reporting.

“All inter-provincial passenger transportation on all roads in Beijing will be suspended from tomorrow, and the recovery time is unknown
2020-01-25 19:50:14 Beijing News Reporter: Pei Jianfei
Daxing Airport’s inter-provincial airport buses have been suspended.

The Beijing News (Reporter Pei Jianfei) tonight (January 25), there was a sudden heat on the Internet that “to prevent and control the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, all inter-provincial road passenger transport in Beijing has taken measures to stop traffic.” Just now, the reporter confirmed the news from several long-distance passenger terminals in Beijing.

Relevant persons in Beijing’s transportation department also told reporters that according to the unified requirements of the Beijing epidemic prevention and control work, all inter-provincial passenger transport on Beijing’s roads will be suspended from tomorrow.

The reporter learned from the Daxing Airport Bus Company that at present, they have stopped all inter-provincial airport buses, and the city routes are still operating normally. The staff told reporters that according to the Beijing Municipal Traffic Management Committee’s notice, all inter-provincial road passenger transportation in Beijing has taken measures to stop traffic, but the time to resume operations has to be notified by the Traffic Commission.

Can we vaccinate this thread, because it’s live?

[RummyChick]

For those that don’t know...part of the spreading issue is due to idiotic leaders who had some kind of big gathering to beat a world record...after people started getting sick.

dont remember the details

Fire got out of control. Then bam. They have lost fire control. People quarantined are now under threat from fires out of control.

[ncalburt]

It is beyond lazy and stupid .
Verging on suicidal .
Hard quarantine for these 90 % Chinese nationals
in-which a quarter where probably spying here anyways at the university.
And we trust these people.
Its insanity.
The Trump WH better get out ahead of this mess .
The Chinese dictator has 56 million under quarantine
and we are still letting planes land here from China.
What are we doing here ?
Where is the CDC plan ?

“I just hope it kills a billion of them and we go in there to finish the rest off. “

I know people use hyperbole on a political forum, i do it myself. But I don’t like casual talk hoping for a billion people to die. What kind of logic is behind that

[TangoLimaSierra]

Pretty sure he was joking.

[grey_whiskers]

ZOT

[Vermont Lt]

Just to be objective...the cost of the quarantine is problem costing a bunch of gdp.

[kaehurowing]

It will be where this guy lives soon enough.

[PghBaldy]

Perhaps, but China is acting like it is more than that.

[LilFarmer]

Except that he had: “State medical officials in Maryland say a patient who had recently traveled to China and was showing flu-like symptoms was taken off a Southwest Airlines flight...”

Were you being /s?

Anyway, we should all feel better, WHO just said it is too early to declare Coronavirus as a global health emergency. Being the good communists they are, they must insure that everyone suffers equally ( /s or maybe not /s)
