BEIJING -- Chinese authorities Thursday moved to lock down three cities that are home to more than 18 million people in an unprecedented effort to contain the deadly new virus that has sickened hundreds and spread to other parts of the world during the busy Lunar New Year travel period.
Police, SWAT teams and paramilitary troops guarded Wuhans train station, where metal barriers blocked the entrances at 10 a.m. Only travelers holding tickets for the last trains out were allowed to enter. Normally bustling streets, shopping malls, restaurants and other public spaces in the city of 11 million people were eerily quiet.
In addition to shutting down the train station, authorities closed the airport and halted ferry, subway and bus service.
Authorities announced similar measures would take effect Friday in the nearby cities of Huanggang and Ezhou. In Huanggang, theaters, internet cafes and other entertainment centers were also ordered closed.
In the capital, Beijing, authorities canceled major events indefinitely, including traditional temple fairs that are a staple of holiday celebrations, in order to execute epidemic prevention and control.
To my knowledge, trying to contain a city of 11 million people is new to science, Gauden Galea, the World Health Organizations representative in China, said in an interview. It has not been tried before as a public health measure. We cannot at this stage say it will or it will not work.
The illnesses from the newly identified coronavirus first appeared last month in Wuhan, an industrial and transportation hub in central Chinas Hubei province. The vast majority of mainland Chinas more than 570 cases have been in the city.

Is China Covering Up a Deadly New Virus?

The brain prion diseases in deer bother me more than any coronavirus.
“Since youre not hanging out in airports, youre probably better off.”
Was just in Seoul Korea and Bangkok Thailand airports. Both were packed with people.
It’s Chinese New Year. Everyone travels.
I’m in Singapore myself. My point is, if you’re boating down a river, you’re not hanging out in airports, so lower risk of infection.
Yes, I agree. Except for the mosquito born viruses like malaria.
I absolutely love the people here.
Id stock up on plenty of wet wipes and bottles of liquid hand sanitizer. Take care. Be safe.

Good advice. Wash your hands often, avoid unboiled water, fresh food of any kind, and try to stay out of situations where you’re packed in with other people (like buses and elevators).
I personally wouldn’t go, but not because your destination is Thailand (the numbers are pretty small now), but because you’re going to be packed on a long distance plane ride, twice.
If is it in the CNS why wouldnt it be in the PNS???
Prion diseases are associated with the build up in the brain (and some other organs) of an abnormal or rogue form of a naturally occurring cellular protein, known as the prion protein. The rogue protein results from a change in shape of the normal prion protein. Once formed in the body these rogue proteins recruit and convert more of the normal prion protein into the abnormal form, setting off a kind of chain reaction which leads to a progressive accumulation of the rogue protein. In the normal course of events, once they have served their purpose, prion proteins are broken down by enzymes in the body. The abnormal prions however are more resistant to this process; so they accumulate and cause damage in the brain, which interferes with normal brain functioning. All forms of the disease are thought to be associated with an incubation period. This is a clinically ‘silent phase’ during which replication of the rogue protein is thought to be taking place.
The function of the normal form of the protein remains unclear, though it is thought they may possibly play a role in the transport of messages between specific brain cells (synaptic transmission.)
But all that occurs in the peripheral nervous system too
The spinal neurons are much longer and fewer synapses.
For example, the afferent sensory spinal neuron junctions are with the cell body head in the dorsal root ganglion outside the spine.
A Chinese restaurant in my area was closed down a few years ago because of rats.
It’s now a pizza joint.
People who live all crammed in together, three generations to one small house with poor ventilation, and in highly populated places like China, are at high risk.
Others, especially those who practice good hygiene, maybe not quite so much?
Could turn out like the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918 or worse... or maybe not. Or perhaps the Hong Kong flu of 1968. We don't know right now...

I wonder if all the containers sent here from China every day could carry this virus?
If so it will be blamed on Trump for his great deal with China on trade.
It’s Friday morning in China.
Awaiting further news...
I know, but ...
Ooh, my little sniffling one, my sniffling one

Or is it just a game
Fascinating.
In addition, are not prions a part of “mad cow” disease?

excerpt:
“Pepsin digests free cells of our hypothalamus gland in our blood and lymph. If we do not have sufficient pepsin to digest these, their remains turn into prions. Our white blood cells eat prions promptly. But if our WBCs do not have enough germanium, selenite, and vitamin C, the prions are not killed but escape and enter the brain and nerves. Light headedness and disorientation is felt. That contributes to detox-illness. You can kill them in hours with:
1 tsp. fennel seed (freshly ground), use capsules
1 tsp. sage, organic, (freshly ground)
3 heaping tsp. birch bark (strong prion killer and could be used alone make tea by simmering it for 5 minutes.
1 Tbsp. sweetener
3 cups water
Add other ingredients to the birch bark tea. Set to cool. Drink 1 to 3 cups a day till symptoms stop. Pepsin also digests prions.”
