Are those excavators digging graves?
Yeah, that’s how you stop the spread, by flying the potentially infected around the globe.
Blood tests before boarding? We just got word that the Texas A&M student who presented with symptoms after returning from China is not, actually, infected - but it's been several days to get those results (at least, to make them public).
Watch what Japan does
Presumably they have good information on what is going on
Before last week, I had never heard of Wuhan, China.
Amazingly, it is China’s fifth largest city, population 12 million.
I am calling my reps today and WH .
Where is the CDC ?
Trump needs to order more funds released and act not tweet
crap complimenting the Chinese .
Even Chuckles demanded CDC funds yesterday .
UNITED STATES: The U.S. Consulate in Wuhan plans a charter flight Tuesday to evacuate its personnel and some other Americans.
~~~
Tuesday will be at least one week too late.
They should be getting Americans out of all of the other provinces NOW. Wuhan should have been a week ago.
Everyone brought back should be quarantined and given first rate care like they did for the doctors that they brought back with Ebola.
With the week+ incubation period, practically everyone in China should be assumed to be infected by now, and treated accordingly.
I believe the president out of an abundance of caution ought to cancel the rally planned tomorrow in Wildwood NJ.
If even one case is traced to the Rally the media will go nuts blaming Trump for placing his reelection over the health and safety of the people.
Why are we not panicking to hear that our CDC reports that as of Jan. 21,2020, between 8200 and 22,000 Americans have died of the flu this year? Probably because the media does not find this newsworthy. No word on how many of the dead had had this year’s flu vaccine.
The flu season will last two more months. To find the final morbidity count, check the CDC website. Chances are, it’s the only place you’ll see it.
The photo is a mystery to me.
I see three graders and two dump trucks, for sure, and close to 30 excavators.
It looks like all that red colored dirt was dumped there.
Why the heck would you have 30 excavators out there?
I can definitely believe that frightened people will create some frightening rumors about this job site.
That doesn't make sense.
Shelter in place.
I thought if you are coming back from a diseased area you may be put in quarantine.
Watch this take hold in a homeless encampment here and then the fun starts.
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.
Fighting a fire by spreading the embers far and wide. It’s inclusive. Participation trophies for all!
Photo of the first hospital building here. It was manufactured and brought there, by the way—not built in place.
Amazing! Huoshenshan Hospital’s 1st building completed in 16 hours!

The goal is to open the hospital in five days (on the 2nd) and staff it with soldiers. Not enough doctors otherwise.
These evacuations seem like the perfect way to spread the virus worldwide. If a city is quarantined, everybody there, locals & foreigners, should remain there until the exposure threat has passed.
Fever screening is clinical insanity.
...........
Trying to pick out real corona patients from common winter illnesses.
..............
There is no rapid and accurate diagnostic test.
.............
The Chinese are driving non-corona patients to clinics where they are packed in with actual corona patients.
...........
In the US, possible patients are sent home with orders to stay out of the public until symptoms expand and obsolete SARS testing shows a corona virus.
...........
The Chinese mean well, but communist control type thinking is going to cause a faster infection rate.
