or someone is talking out of turn and spreading rumors. So far this is not as dangerous as influenza. Even if it becomes worse the panic spread by misinformation will be worse than the actual disease as it always is
“The death toll so far is less than a weekend’s worth of violence in Chicago.”
Do you really believe the number dead is only 26?
Washington, Texas, Tennessee, Illinois, California.
Nicely spread out. All they need is one on the east coast.
Lots of bloggers will mine this for clicks like it was going out of style.
How are people coping in the lockdown?
One doctor, who requested anonymity, describes the conditions at a hospital in Wuhan.
"In the last two weeks, there has been an alarming rate of spread," she told the BBC. "The hospitals have been flooding with patients, there are thousands, I haven't seen so many before."
Yes, but there’s always someone who sneaks out. That city is as populated as NYC and LA combined. Can’t have constant patrols surrounding a city that large. Block major routes and then it’s up to the people themselves not to leave.
Yeah, China seems to be the best place to go for flu survival if you go by the numbers.

"CDC Reports 13 Million Flu Cases Thus Far in 2019-20 Season JAN 22, 2020 | MICHAELA FLEMING
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released data from the second week of the 2020 influenza season. The FluView report, which includes data for the week ending January 11, 2020, indicates that influenza activity remains high, but severity is not considered high at this point in the season.
At this point in the season, CDC estimates indicate that there have been 13 million influenza illnesses, 120,000 hospitalizations, and 6600 flu-related deaths."

WP is saying 50 more people are being assessed in 22 states.
When you can go around the world in a relatively short amount of time, the risk is not low. We're one patient zero away from a pandemic that could kill billions.
Please, many of you know much more than I about this. Does this tie in with the outright refusal of China to provide samples and information on the new virus last year or longer? That made me think it was going to be used later as a biological warfare weapon against us.
Anyone know? Thanks.

Michael Savage (who studied epidemics as part of his two doctoral degrees) said the CDC is liberal and useless.
He said because it would cost money and cut into profits of airlines and businesses to say no to China travel to the US today, they would prefer to allow millions to die here of the Chinese viral disease rather than sound un-PC about Chinese travel.
The guy in Washington State with the 2019-ncov virus has DIED.
See the movie Twelve Monkeys for a good scare.
Seriously??
There are many Chinese Americans in CA,WA and OR. A touchy subject to talk about ones flying in from Wuhan with symptoms developing now. Not PC.
On other matters:
Pat Buchanan: “Political Correctness is not worth dying over.”
If this is a biological weapon then someone has to know——but we cannot trust the NSA,CIA and FBI any longer.
And an act of war against us if they use it.
Remember, please, research showed many Chinese take jobs at American universities and research corporations just to send intellectual property, classified research and security passwords to China. A few get caught each year.
Gonna need a link FRiend.
the news must be hitting somewhere but haven’t found a link showing that yet.
I mentioned someone who knows a nurse who said there was a case here in December. I think Texas was the area. Could be utter BS twitter rumor..but does dovetail with that December from this story..as in US longer than being revealed
ya. somebody who know some nurse on twitter or was it facebook?
yesterday passenger flying from Mexico City to LA diagnosed with the virus after deplaning at LAX.
