There are currently 2,493 confirmed cases worldwide, including 80 fatalities.
If the 5 confirmed cases, spread it on the airplanes when they traveled, we should know sometime next week.
This might be a bigger deal, if the report is correct: Confirmed case of arenavirus hemorrhagic fever in São Paulo state
The site gives a link to a Brazilian news source, in Spanish of course.

I’m pretty sure you’ll be fine. I don’t understand all the hysteria about a virus. Of course, I’ve never gotten the flu in my life (66 years), even though my 4-year-old granddaughter is just getting over a bout and she lives 4 houses away. If ppl just practice common sense hygiene practices and avoid large crowds, they should emerge unscathed IMO.
Hmmm, how long before U.S companies over there run for the hills? Don’t Uncle Joe and Hunter want to make a few more bucks?
China’s National Health Committee reports 302 new cases. Their locations have not yet been disclosed. (Source)

ZOT
I can understand them being angry. Especially at China for multiple reasons.
But torching the quarantine building???
Did they think they were going to bring sick people from outside of Hong Kong into HK?
By the way, Hong Kong is where SARS spread to the rest of the world from. It’s already spread from Wuhan, but now that the virus is in Hong Kong, it could spread faster. Hong kong is one of the most densely popuated places in the world. 17,521/sq km.
“China’s National Health Committee reports 302 new cases.”
China isn’t taking such extreme measures because there are less than 2000 cases of flu, out of a population of over a billion.
Unofficial sources claim there are more than 100,000 cases; which, considering the Chinese government reaction, appears more probable.
I’m beginning to think that everyone would be better off buying a bottle, sitting down and relaxing.
Then get a good night’s sleep.
You ARE going to catch this virus. There’s no stopping it.
Build up your immune system and enjoy all your days.
Trump’s fault yet ?
“Trump’s fault yet ?”
If it blows up, yes.
The sooner he acts in the direction of controlling the spread in the US, the better off he’ll be politically. So far CDC is asleep at the wheel, their conference today notwithstanding.
They are moribund.
There was a young man from Wuhan.
He picked up a bug from a stand.
Before he was done.
Of life there was none.
And I’m afraid this is the end.
First in with limerick!!!
I apologize for that there.
Maybe I’m suffering from wuhan fatique.
It’s already too late, it’s here and we have to deal with it.
I’ve seen reports on twitter of 5 cases on Maricopa county confirmed today. I do not have a link.
You might want to rethink all that.
The reason I am concerned is because the area we are going to visit has tourists from around the world headed to the Grand Canyon. Last time we were there we came across a lot of Chinese tourists. Who knows if they are from around Wuhan? We still might go to Arizona, only to an area with a lot less foreign tourists.
