Hong Kong takes emergency measures as mystery pneumonia infects dozens in Chinas Wuhan city Most patients worked at a seafood market and health workers are still trying to identify virus responsible City authorities tell hospitals to report any more cases of the illness, which is described as being of unknown origin Hong Kong health authorities are taking no chances with a mysterious outbreak of viral pneumonia in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, warning of symptoms similar to Sars and bird flu as they step up border screening and put hospitals on alert. The situation in Wuhan is unusual, and we are not sure about the reasons behind the outbreak yet, said Secretary for Food and Health Sophia Chan Siu-chee said after an urgent night-time meeting with officials and experts on New Years Eve. Since we are now in the holiday season, and Hong Kong has close transport ties with Wuhan, we must stay alert. With Wuhan reporting 27 infections so far, Chan said the Department of Health would increase vigilance and temperature screenings at every border checkpoint, including the citys international airport and high-speed railway station in West Kowloon. Hospital Authority chief executive Tony Ko Pat-sing said frontline medical staff had been alerted at public and private hospitals.

If the virus really did come from watching bats or anteaters killed in front of you and then eating them, well, that's a part of their culture but not a very big part.
It's something that authorities could have stopped if they wanted to.
Does anyone believe that no new cases of COVID-19 have been reported in China?
Next scare tactic?
I work for the largest employer in the country. We had a confirmed case of the Corona virus in my building last week. They shut us down and everyone has to telework. Today an official email came out on the status of the infected individual. They had a fever for three days, which is now gone. They only have a sore throat at this point in time they are in good shape.
In a few more weeks when reports like this become the norm, they need something else to keep the sheep frightened. The goal is to crash the economy and remove Trump. I honestly believe this.
China has reported that their coronavirus infections are way down and under control, thanks to the firm leadership by their communist government.
So all those people that are still getting sick with all the same symptoms are mysterious pneumonia cases.
