A second student at Smith College is under medical evaluation for possible exposure to coronavirus.
The school shared in a letter with the campus community Tuesday that the student recently traveled to the Hubei province in China and has reported cold-like symptoms.

I got the Corona virus once in college. Twenty Coronas and I was puking my guts out. :-)
The dreaded Smith-Corona type people write about.
Even the fancy schools like hard cash Chinese students
STILL with a corona joke!?!?!
We stopped those last week!
I felt guilty posting them when this thing became all too real.
But I did laugh at your comment :)
A little levity never hurt.
Just wait to the Modelovirus hits you. It’s another foreign virus!
Note: there are reports out, that the actual death toll in Wuhan, yes, the *death* toll, in Wuhan alone, is in the tens of thousands.
hat tip to FReeper familyop.
If so, this may cut a MASSIVE swath through the coastal liberal “intelligenstia”.

And there is this from this morning. More info about Tencent as a Chinese mega-company early in the thread.
Tencent may have accidentally leaked real data on Wuhan virus deaths [24,589]

So many schools would be facing really hard times if not for the Chinese and Saudi students paying full fare.

*groan*
“If so, this may cut a MASSIVE swath through the coastal liberal intelligenstia.”
They probably won’t even notice their family members dropping dead, due to their hatred of Trump.
And this would be a bad thing how?
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.
Nah, they’ll blame Trump.
Chinese students are experiencing overt prejudice on liberal, progressive college campuses these days. Self preservation trumps the marxist solidarity narrative.
I hear they’re changing the name of this virus to Dos Equis virus, since it appears you can actually catch it twice.
(Ducking :)
Seriously....prayers are up for ALL who’ve contracted, or been affected, by this horrid virus.
Actually, that is funny. Pay not attention to the people who cannot laugh and be serious at the same time.
Its 20 miles from my house. I felt much more comfortable with it 1,000 miles away.
lol
Levity is what gets us through the worst of times.
I feel terrible for the Chinese folks (they are not the govt) and am Praying for them also.
