Yes, so far....and remember the recent Ebola scare? Everyone was predicting dead people by the metric ton. Some of us called for caution. Alas, those initial handful of cases blossomed into the worst pandemic America had ever seen.

Oh wait...

"number of Chinese who returned in January"

That is why there should have been a embargo when Ten i (Xi) announced a quarantine of a Chinese city.

There is US precident of embargo of travel from a foreign country...that from Portugal to the state of Massachusetts from the 70's to the 1980's. That embargo was for air flights and shipping to that state.

This is China.

It isn’t the outback of Ethiopia.

A city of 11 million with full access to the world.

You are one contrary dumbass.

I don’t recall any Country putting a lock down on an entire city with a population of 5 million...let alone more than one city with millions in the population.

Refresh my memory

Who did it with Ebola?

Correct. We need to learn time from first symptom appearance to resolution (death or recovery).

I think you might be missing some of the point.

The deaths from this are not my concern. If it catches fire (I know it’s a big if) it will overwhelm the medical system during a peak period. There will be a bunch of ancillary deaths, as there will be no room at the inn. This leads to more contagion as people are at home or on the streets.

Think what that would do for the economy.

I don’t know for sure what’s going on in China, but I suspect you’re right.

Amazing how a few of us are looking at TEOTWAWKI, and so many others are just replying to nonsense stories on Yahoo. I imagine in the next 5 days they will wake up to a new reality.

“My auntie says everyday hospital is packed and doctors cannot accept any more patients,” Jing said.

The Wetzels say photos they’ve seen of Wuhan are so surprising.

“There’s absolutely no food on the shelves,” Greg said. “We’re seeing lots of photos coming streets completely empty. It’s strange to see that. Wuhan is a huge city.”

And then they will be the ones who over react and start shooting each other in the Wal Mart parking lot.
