At least China is now taking this seriously, but the cat is already out of the bag.
why do these weird sars or whatever-like viruses originate in china?
This is not going to be well received during the Chinese New Year’s celebration that starts Saturday, January 25.
Just in time before the Chinese New Year this Saturday.
The cat is already on a jet airplane flying all over the globe.
How dangerous is this virus? wow
The horses are gone, better lock the barn door.
China is dirty and polluted... a lot of raw meat & seafood consumption...they need to stop eating cats & dogs over there.
“17 deaths and has sickened over 500 others.”
City of 20 million.
Hyped up scare, always appears with regularity.
The quarantine thing came too rate.
nailed on the Pillar of shame for eternity.
Excellent.
I’m thinking the situation in Wuhan is far worse than they are admitting.
If China is taking this level of action, then the problem is worse than what has been reported. There are also alot of flights leaving China on a daily basis.
Those filthy, and I mean filthy buggerers havent figured out basic hygiene in most of their country. Quarantine? They are probably moving their undesirables close by and trying to figure out how to salvage the internal organs.
Chuck Fina. Huck them to chell.
meanwhile we let the perpetrators causing the spread of the aids/hiv virus roam freely...
The Chinese would never admit to quarantining a city unless it was out of control.

Chinas communist government is directly contributing to the current situation, even more to blame than any third world realities or unsanitary practices.
First, a brief timeline according to media reports:
Early Dec, the first cases of these pneumonia surfaced in Wuhan.
Jan 1, eight netizens got into trouble with authorities for maliciously spreading rumor to cause panic, all because they had posted information on the mysterious cases; by then, one patient had already died.
1/18, a Wuhan community hosted a large-scale banquet for 40.000 families, obviously no one was concerned about the disease spreading.
1/19, a Wuhan health official maintained everything was under control. Even though there was no reported cases in other Chinese cities besides Wuhan, new cases have been spreading to other countries - truly incredible and time to come clean.
1/20, Xi made his public statements and suddenly other Chinese cities started reporting their own cases causing the total number to jump. Even then, no official numbers coming out of China should be trusted, the stern warnings to the officials notwithstanding.
This is just so typical of the communists. In crisis after crisis, from SARS in 2003 to the Sichuan earthquake in 2008 - just to give two examples, they always go after the people who initially sounded the alarm rather than focus on dealing with the actual problems, because maintaining stability is above all else to them, while loss of life is nothing to them. By suppressing information while doing nothing to contain the disease at the first chance, they always make a bad situation much worse.
