Wu Han was the birthplace of a famous American, Jayne Meadows.
I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve gotten so disgusted with US “diplomats” over this Trump impeachment effort that my first thought was leave them there.
It appears the majority of Americans actually were left there, though. What was so special about the 200-plus that were airlifted out, versus the over 700 left behind? Diplomats über alles I suspect.
And, are they going to be literally quarantined so as to not spread the contagion?
You have to ask yourself just how many American citizens are there in China?
I wonder how many of them are poor little American factory born?
I bloody well hope so!
I do not trust this government to protect us. Yes, bring them back, but quarantine them all.
How many of these fine citizens are globalist who offshored their own citizens jobs to China and were proud of it?
I say let stay over there and die.
I didn’t think my opinion of the State Department could get any lower.
I was wrong.
What a GREAT idea to bring thousands of disease vectors back to the US to spread this. Even IF they’re ‘quarantined at home’, you KNOW that they will sneak out and violate this. Because they’re special people don’t you understand...Very special people. Educated and CONNECTED people. Germs wouldn’t DARE infect THEM kind of people.
They are going to be spread all over North America in major population and transportation hubs.
Tin foil on, there are a lot of green demons who want the population to be below a billion.
“London’s Imperial College team estimated that there were a total of 4,000 cases (with the possibility of up to 9,700 cases in the worst-case scenario) by January 18, when the official tally was still at 62 cases.
Using a different statistical method, scientists at Northeastern University in Boston reckon that 5,900 were infected by January 23.”
Compromise and say 4,500 people infected.
We still don’t know what the true mortality rate is, & how quickly people are recovering, especially if they get prompt medical attention.
Straight to quarantine, I hope.
“Are these people going to be quarantined for 2 wks”
common sense would say they should ...
US to evacuate some of its citizens from Wuhan would be correct.
As of right now, the State Department has upgraded Hubei province in China to Level 4 DO NOT TRAVEL and has ordered the evacuation of non-essential US personnel and their dependents.
To late they need to stay right there, they are already exposed, don’t want them here.
Here is a link to a daily report being done on the worlwide spread of the disease:
................
https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/01/the-latest-coronavirus-cases/
.................
There are the beginning rumors that this was a lab created disease. Not likely, as 6 of the first 7 patients were vendors at the Wuhan seafood market . They sell bats there for food.
................
This virus shares 80% of the SARS virus, its closest relative. It has a 96% match with a known virus in fruit bats. Snakes are not the origin.
................
This virus is much weaker than SARS but has some unusual traits. It is an RNA rather than a DNA virus like smallpox. That means that it mutates very quickly. Current patients are showing a 4th generation mutation from the original patients amonth ago.
..............
That makes vaccines very difficult to be effective.
..............
The new virus also has a very high binding energy to human tissue, about 4 times higher than SARS. That means that infection is far more likely when exposed. In fact, there are about 40% new patients every day, that is extraordinary.
...............
As usual, vulnerable people are more likely to die. Most people will be able to quickly fight off the virus.
Good question!
Your pizza is ready...
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.
Exactly.
