Any country would want to hide disaster, but China more than many. One case?

Coronaviruses are highly contagious. The last SARS outbreak almost got out of control before health authorities recognized the agent and began measures to control the outbreak. It behaves much like a feline virus, FIP, and the CDC had to bring in several veterinarians who's expertise was coronaviridae for characterization of the SARS virus. This virus is much like that of the SARS that originated from a Civet cat.

THIRD BASE!

WHO says it can’t?

With airplane travel around the world, the recent holidays, and college and high school students back in school or going back this week, we will see a lot of viruses across America and the world in the upcoming weeks.

There will probably be minimal natural immunity to the new viruses as they will be new here.

Hong Kong Steps Up Response To Mystery Disease From China

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Infectious Disease - Update - coronavirus (viral pneumonia) - Primarily in China
but recent case found in Thailand (wider out break ?)

"There may have been limited human-to-human transmission of a new coronavirus
(viral pneumonia) in China within families, and it is possible there could be a wider outbreak,
the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday."

A Chinese woman has been quarantined in Thailand with a mystery strain of coronavirus,
Thai authorities said on Monday, the first time the virus has been detected outside China.

In all, 41 cases of pneumonia have been reported in the central Chinese city of Wuhan,
which preliminary lab tests cited by state media showed could be from a new type of coronavirus, and one patient has died.

The WHO is however preparing for the possibility that there could be a wider outbreak,
she told a Geneva news briefing.
“It is still early days, we don’t have a clear clinical picture ".

“With Chinese New Year approaching on Jan. 25, when many Chinese tourists visit Thailand, the WHO called on Thai authorities, the public and holidaymakers to be on alert.”

No warnings from the State Department. I watch it as I’ll be in Northern Thailand and Laos border near China for the next few weeks.

Looks like I have a lot of homework to do. Thanks for posting the update.

If anyone finds out where in Northern Thailand the woman is quarantined, please let me know.
