As I said last night, at least 10,000 infected and doubling every few days.
This time, FOR SURE, we’re all gonna die. Not like all those other times. :)
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.
Captain Trips?
DOUBLES to 17? So, someone who was half dead is now completely dead?!
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:

We’re all gonna die MMCCXLVIII
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.
Yeah, lets have open borders! The friggin morons democrats.
Where is freeper Mother Abigail when we need her...

Never let a good crisis go to waste.
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?
Just think of all the Chinese students coming to study in America...
The major concern here is Mexico with their poor HC and sanitation and then with border jumpers watch out.
The US can handle any cases arriving via plane into the US with screening of passengers.
Mutating bug? They should call it the Adamschiffvirus.
China just can’t get a break.
\It spent all that money on facial reco0gn9ition ... and now people are wearing masks!
Read they’ve quarantined Wuhan. Too late though, cases are being spread in other areas.
17 deaths among 500+ cases. That’s a mortality rate of 3+% in Wuhan, the epicenter of this disease (which is again associated with eating of wild animals)
China claimed that SARS had a mortality rate of 30-50%, when it finally petered-out in 2004.
The only sickness here seems to be the media coverage.
This sounds like a virus that was created in a Lab. It brings some of those doomsday movies to life.
