And it seems the WHO will let China handle it.
A bit like “World War Z” if we are unlucky.
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!
Too early to know if this is serious, real serious or pandemic level serious.
If any nation can contain this, it’s China. In spite of the fact it originated there.
They can completely lock down any city in the country.
I’m leaving on a Jet Plane,
don’t know when I’ll...
Sorry Yankee, you go nowhere...

Yep, what you said. China has complete control and they allow or disallow any activity they wish.
Whereas here we speak of the rights of Ebola sufferers to return to their families on commercial flights.
Go China! To celebrate I’m going to purchase a $5.00 box fan assembled by a shoeless pre-teen!
Keep us posted.
We’re all gonna die MMCCXLVIII
I saw that citizens from that city were only being allowed to enter 5 of our main airports yesterday where they were going thru extra medical checks. I thought to myself, why not ban arrivals from that city until further notice.
But hey, what do I know.
Quarantining a city of 11 million people raises this situation to a whole new level.
New York City has around 8-9 million people, can you imagine shutting that city down, closing the tunnels, closing 3 major airports, etc....
It would be total chaos....
I suspect the Chinese Government has been trying to cover this up for some time until it got so big that it was impossible to contain it
It’s 20 million.
“no one would be allowed to leave. “
Communist totalitarianism.
Nice excuse to do dry runs on their emergency clampdown systems.
It’s ironic, if this happened in America,the left would allow it to spread along with all free travel in/out by third worlders because Trump would do everything possible to fight it for America.
Going to be messy with Chinese New Year coming up.
A flight out of Wuhan will be landing in about 30 minutes at JFK.

How many wealthy foreigners will go there now to get a kidney from a jailed political dissident?
How many Chinese who routinely blowtorch a hung dog to death for lunch in a local park or drag it behind a car on a highway will survive?
I’m still rooting for the virus and looking forward to tomorrow’s numbers.
The plane should be quarantined when it arrives.
Even though so far this virus doesn’t even worry me...that is amazing.
