SEOUL — A South Korean flight attendant who has been diagnosed with the novel coronavirus may have serviced trips between Seoul and Los Angeles last week, according to several South Korean media outlets.

South Korea’s Center for Disease Control said Wednesday local time that a female flight attendant who serviced a flight Feb. 15 from Tel Aviv to Seoul had tested positive for the virus. On board the flight was a church group returning from a pilgrimage to Israel; 30 other infections have been connected to the group so far, according to local authorities.

The South Korean media outlets reported that the same flight attendant had serviced flights KE017 and KE012 on Feb. 19 and 20 to and from Los Angeles International.

And so it begins. Buy stock in chlorine.

If there is a city where the coronavirus will be rampant, it is San Francisco. I think that is one of the reasons Pelosi attacked Trump for his supposed lackluster response to the virus. She wants to blame him for her own incompetence muck like the Democrats did during Katrina.

For a Rat it’s ALWAYS someone else’s fault. They never do anything wrong. They’re as pure as the wind driven snow. Ralph.

This is all it takes. The flight attendant spent time in LA before the return trip. Others may already be infected.

And the hits just keep coming.

Due to lack of sanitation, the homeless will be a major vector for viral infection. California is going to suffer badly.

apparently she spent time in Koreatown walking around which L A Health Dept is following up on.

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.

Los Angeles will be another hot spot, give them the homeless there.

Bloomberg will pay to Ship Californians across the nation.

“And the hits just keep coming.”

Yes but in this and practically all cases, how are they doing? Still at work? At home? Being treated? In the hospital? Near death?

How serious is this sickness in areas that are sanitary with have decent medical care?

She’s a cutie.

Jamie Dimon of J. P. Morgan feels this virus might hit ‘the elites’ first... Who flies for business? The engineers and business people who make the world work... and top execs going to Devos etc...
