Coronavirus: hunt for 2,000 travellers who flew from Wuhan to Britain in last fortnight
Telegraph.co.uk ^ | 24 January 2020 | Sarah Knapton, Gordon Rayner

Public health officials have teamed up with Border Force to trace 2,000 airline passengers who flew into Britain from Wuhan, China, in the past fortnight, to check if they are suffering symptoms of coronavirus.

In a significant escalation of measures to prevent the deadly virus from spreading in the UK, the government said it would be tracking down those who could have been in the incubation period when they landed, but may have appeared symptomless.

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.

If it were a ‘little trifling cold’ they wouldn’t be doing this.

1000’s more are probably already infected. Who says there is no global emergency. The chance to stop this has expired.

Video of people passing out in the streets of Wuhan has started to go viral. The Chinese will put the clamps on social media as fast as they can.

By the time any of these 2,000 realizes they are sick, they will have infected another 100.

“The chance to stop this has expired.”

It is already everywhere with zero chance of containment.

Let’s hope the certain mutations are benign.

“By the time any of these 2,000 realizes they are sick, they will have infected another 100.”

With a reported 10-14 day incubation period, those exposed won’t feel sick for over a week.
