TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE (CBS13) — Five people who were evacuated from Wuhan, China and quarantined at Travis Air Force Base have been confirmed “symptomatic” and transported to local hospitals, the CDC confirmed.
The evacuees brought to Travis AFB for quarantine this week will stay isolated until doctors can confirm they don’t have the virus. A doctor with the CDC told CBS13 one of those patients is doing well, and the others still need more tests. Four of the patients with symptoms just arrived in Fairfield from Wuhan on Friday morning.
Officials say one of the five patients arrived at Travis on the first evacuation flight on Wednesday with more than 170 evacuees. The four other patients arrived on a flight early Friday morning with 201 passengers from Wuhan.

There’s two institutes in Germany who came out in the past day or two, and say that the virus (at moderate temperatures) can survive on a door handle for up to nine days. The higher the temperature....the quicker it dissipates.
So you could work up a scenario involving a coffee pot handle at some hotel, or elevator buttons, or the steering wheel of a rental car....then realize that it’s a major problem brewing here.
Yes, I read that too.
That is a pretty normal time frame for flu-type viruses (2-10 days)...Norovirus (think cruise ship gastrointestinal) can last up to 14 days on hard surfaces.
Need to create a blue ribbon task force to get over to Wuhan, China and get to the bottom of this. I nominate Mitt Romney.

He can’t do it alone. The vindman brothers and ciaremella should be in his entourage.
How did these people get on a go to America option?
Given the draconian measures China is using, this is apparently worse than the flu or norovirus.
Wonder what numbers have to be reached to close our borders over Coronavirus or even if possible?
They are apparently Americans. Some of the evacuees from Wuhan were diplomats, ordinary citizens were not all removed. One just died Thursday in Wuhan.
Yeah looks pretty bad, but hard to really tell from CCP numbers..they are pretty “fanciful”. I am waiting for better stats to come from Western countries, but fortunately so far not many cases (statistically) outside China. Meanwhile in the Wuhan area they are letting it “burn out”....literally: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3814665/posts
My niece just started working in that hospital 3 months ago.
Great...

In the last two weeks, has Wuhan exported any products to the USA?
I’m not following this thing that closely so I wouldn’t know. what I do know is we already have the flu and is much more dangerous here in the states.....
Yeah, this stuff is not contagious at all /s. In a city of 11 million people where at the time 2000 or so people are known to have the virus, 5 people connected to the embassy just happen to get infected. There’s more going on here than we know.
