3% DEATH RATE?
That’s not good but it’s not horrifying.

75% (or more) death rate for Ebola- that’s horrifying. Because you can pass it on before your symptoms start.

The good news... If you’re alive today, your genes survived all the other plagues that occurred throughout history. So your chances are much better than those who’s genes didn’t overcome those earlier plagues... Because you are currently alive and well.

Passengers will be screened at three airports that receive the majority of travelers from Wuhan: San Francisco International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport and New York’s John F. Kennedy.

Excerpted: Go to the link below for info on the screening at these 3 American airports:

Chinese officials confirmed 471 known cases earlier today, adding another 2,197 people are in isolation after coming into contact with infected people.

So far 765 of those have been released from observation, Li Bin said, adding there is mounting evidence that the bug is being spread through “respiratory transmission”.

Li said: “Recently there has been a big change in the number of cases, which is related to our deepening our understanding of the disease, improving diagnostic methods and optimizing the distribution of diagnostic kits.”

Fifteen healthcare professionals are among those infected.

Ezekiel Emanuel is so happy. Leave those under 12 and over 50 untreated so they stop using up resources that could be better used.

Never let a good crisis go to waste.

Agreed. This is a fast moving situation:

Wuhan Coronavirus

The city has been quarantined and all public transportation has been halted.

There are now reports from Brazil and Russia of infection.

Man, this thing is starting to look serious. As in, Walking Dead serious. It’s mutating, it’s person-to-person communicable, and they don’t have a vaccine. It might not be today, but one of these days, some bug is gonna crop out out of the blue, and all hell will break loose.

said the new strain is currently "as deadly as the Spanish flu epidemic".

Oh, good grief.

So, when the first of two persons died from AIDS when the common era strain was discovered, AIDS had a 50% lethality?!?

This is nothing but an attempt to fear monger.

Use well established protocols to reduce the spread (respiratory masks, screening for higher than normal temperatures, etc.).

Why can’t we just close China in early Fall and then open it back up in the Spring after all of these viruses that originate from there disappear?
