All Chinese citizens who arrived in Yekaterinburg will be taken to a health center for two weeks of observation, Interfax reported on February 7, citing a source.

According to the Agency, several dozen Chinese arrived from Beijing at the Koltsovo International around 10: 00 (8-00 Moscow time). From the airport, foreigners will go to the Yekaterinburg health center "Cheerfulness".

According to Rospotrebnadzor, as of February 7 in the Sverdlovsk region, 22 people who arrived from China showed signs of SARS. None of them is diagnosed with coronavirus yet.

"Cheerfulness" is closed to new reservatuons since yesterday. A medical center has been set up on the basis of the resort, which will check all arrivals from the people's Republic of China.

Being “isolated” in Yekaterinburg doesn’t usually turn out very well. It certainly didn’t for the last Tsar and his family...

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

“showed signs of SARS”

Mis-translation or is SARS making a comeback?

[NorseViking]

In Russia they use this term for every viral astute respiratory infection including flu.

Camp “Cheerfulness”.

How nice.

Communist compassion at its best?

[dynachrome]

Thanks.

[NorseViking]

It is actually a run-down outdated spa resort by this name.

Can’t be too cheerful without Zumba classes and outside picnic meals with everyone using the same serving spoon that the Travis people have.

[Jane Long]

Kinda my point ;-)

[Jane Long]

They call it cheerful and you VILL be cheerful!

No Zumba for you, until morale improves.

Yekaterinburg is in Russia.

Yes. Isn't that where they took the Romanovs and killed them?

Red cabbage soup for two months. How are they going to differentiate the diarrhea from the Coronavirus versus the diarrhea from red cabbage?

ChiCom Party leaders and the other NEW Mandarins of course left without restraint.

Your posting history reads like an apologia for Xi, but in poor Engrish.

Care to explain why we shouldn’t out you as a ChiCom Troll?

Yekaterinburg is in Russia.

Where Czar Nicholas and his family met their fate.

[Robert DeLong]

Yep. The deposed Tsar and his family were imprisoned in the Ipatiev House in the city of Yekaterinburg following the October Revolution in 1917. It wasn't until July of 1918 that they were all actually executed.

Yekaterinburg was named after the wife of Peter The Great, Yekaterina. After Peter The Great's death she became Catherine I. Yekaterina is the Russian equivalent.

In 1924 the town was renamed to Sverdlovsk, after the Bolshevik leader Yakov Sverdlov. After the breakup of the U.S.S.R. it was renamed back to Yekaterinburg.
