China is taking this very seriously. And they are also concerned about panic and maintaining social order.

That's why they censored this video shortly after posting.

Nobody is going in to arrest this woman any time soon.

Well if it’s the “Daily Star” then there’s no doubt about the veracity :)

Take all stories from disasters with a grain of salt. Remember Shep Smith during Hurricane Katrina reporting that there was cannibalism taking place in the Super Dome?

3 in TX now being monitored. 1 A&M student. 1 Baylor student. What’s the odds of the 3rd mystery person turns up to be a UT Austin student?

The Chinese say they are rushing to build a new hospital, but it could just be the preparation of a mass grave.

Yeah, with it’s long incubation period, she’s tight.

However the “death rate” from this is probably very low.
Much lower than currently estimated- obviously it’s very easy to find people who died from it, and very hard to find people who were infected but didn’t!

ICUs and, eventually, vaccines will be the answer.

One day there’ll be a high death rate virus with a month’s incubation. Look out then!

If these stories are even remotely true (and I realize right now that’s a huge “if”), then China’s borders should be sealed, by other nations and their militaries if China won’t do it, and any ship or aircraft attempting to leave its territory should be escorted back or destroyed. Then figure out to what extent the horse had already left the barn.

Sounds like a good sci-fi plot, if nothing else.

Well that’s one thing the Chinese communists like to do is control things — or at least try to control things. Let’s see how they do with this.

The epidemiology and spread of any given infectious disease is complicated and multifactorial. For instance bubonic plague regularly ravaged European Caucasian populations until the 18th century. It is postulated that by then the genetic susceptibly to pastuerella pestis the causative organism had been with repeated plagues largely lost in the surviving population. Curiously Asiatics never seemed very susceptible to the disease despite Japan’s attempt to use it as a biological agent of war in China. That’s not to say that Asiatics are far more susceptible to this new coronavirus than Caucasians and all appropriate public heath measures should be implemented. Yet it will be interesting to see just who is infected with this virus and what the death rate is in infected people. The Chinese should share all available data with the CDC.

“China is taking this very seriously”

They know how bad it will be because their bio lab created it.

Any Westerner who's been to China recently (as I have) knows that 99% of the Chinese live in conditions reminiscent of the 17th Century. Mass plagues like this aren't a surprise to those who know the country.

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...

With the deep state failing in their efforts to impeach Trump I can’t help but be suspicious. Just sayin’!

Just for perspective, based on its record of predicting what is going to happen no one should place much stock in what the Daily Star has to say.

In addttion, during the Ebola and SARS outbreaks there were more than a few Freepers who absolutely panicked about what would happen next. Somehow, humanity survived despite the negative predictions..

Just FYI, take it FWIW.
