It doesn’t seem terribly deadly, but I suppose we will discover it’s mortality rate soon enough, because it looks like it’s been on planes, so I don’t think there will be any containing it.

Our universities are infested with Chinese students who never go back and take American kids job opportunities . Does China allow American this ?
Ha.
Go to a Graduation ceremony its like being in Hong Kong .
More than likely Another Chinese student stealing research for the CCP gets sick .
Stop these Flights from China now and stop the Chinese invasion .

Closed down our major research universities .
They infested with spies .

Doubt this was engineered, unless they were testing gestation times and ability to transfer in the general population.

I have no need or interest to visit UT, but the fact that we’re about 35-40 minutes drive away from the university is not comforting. Fortunately, being retired means not having to interact daily with people who have college- or school-age kids.

Possible, this one seems unusually transmittable.

What makes me worry is that there are any number of people who would live to do a giant population wipe.

There’s no limit to human madness.

Officials said the patient is being kept isolated at home

So, is he here by himself or is the whole family here? Who is treating him and who lives in the house? Young roommates who haven't a clue about isolation? Or do grandma and the other 15 relatives bring him breakfast in bed and they all use the same bathroom. His 8 cousins attend public school. Mama and uncle go out to work everyday. And the 3 toddlers go to day care. Right? Bet a whole group traveled to China during the break. No way is he the only one from there as that's not how it works.

The common cold - the hanta virus family — is this transmittable.

Seriously, is this just a lot of hype for us here in the states with a mandatory vaccine soon to be forced upon us?

Not terribly deadly, just a measly 35% mortality rate.

“Our universities are infested with Chinese students who never go back”

Sometimes this is because their parents warn them never to return home — because of the political situation. Being in the USA is much safer for their future.

They, and not the Central Americans, are the real refugees...

Those college aged kids come home on the weekends so mama can do their laundry. The mama goes to the grocery store, to Walmart and is the server your favorite restaurant.

as far as i can tell it is not as bad as influenza A. Having said that the way China is reacting it is either worse than we know or China is being China or both

There’s an every other day flight (China Airlines), direct from Wuhan, that lands at JFK every other day. Next flight is scheduled to land, tomorrow.

Someone posted the FlightAware tracking/flight number, on another thread.
