Eight planes at Heathrow Airport were grounded this morning after passengers complained of coronavirus symptoms. Passengers on a United Airlines flight from San Francisco were told to stay put after landing because someone on board may have caught the deadly flu-like disease. The captain reportedly warned they could be stuck on the tarmac for some time as the alarm had been raised on seven other planes.

coronavirus symptoms
They make it seem like it’s some kind of special illness signature. Panic! Someone sniffles. Someone has the flu. It’s February.
That said, there is a lot of suspicion surrounding this virus. I have no special knowledge, but it is an interesting coincidence this happens on the heels of the trade dispute. My personal opinion is this was an accidental leak of a man-made virus from a bioweapons lab. But can’t really rule anything out at this point.

I can see that. But so too would be taxi cabs and Uber/Lyft cars.
Well, if its 9 days on a surface for the virus to remain viable; if it arrives by boat I would wait a few data to open it
If by air, 9 days after it arrives
Then probably spray with 1:10 diluted bleach to water; just to be safe. Lysol if fabric.
Unless its perishables, time and temperature is your friend, IMHO
What good is testing if there is a 14 day incubation period?

Dentists chairs?
The plane is already back in San Francisco.

Some FReepers are letting themselves be ruled by hysteria.
According to the map, Greenland is still safe.
I wonder if President Trump’s overture to Denmark is still under consideration ...
Well, that narrows it down a bit...
Greenland and Antarctica. Maybe the ISS if you can get to it...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.
Steve Hatfil is thinking that the Covid-19 virus outbreak may have begun as early as last October. Hard to know exactly because CCP tried keeping it hidden. If it did it had a lot of time to spread before the city was quarantined.
My nephew and his family flew in from Shanghai to London yesterday and did not get quarantined. They were lucky
“Some how a inside cabin on a cruise ship aint so bad afterall”
Oh please, it’s only 2 weeks in Economy Class for those people at Heathrow.
“I have a friend who is about to take a 26 hr flight......on a vacation...I think I would cancel”
Can’t blame you. I just cancelled what was an upcoming Asian vacation. It can wait.
Jet airliners
Uber
taxis
...
All of the above. :(
My guess is Jet Lag is actually your body fighting off all the virus exposure.
Riddle me this, what would a commie chinaman do if a bioweapon accident was decimating their military ?
Package from China ? A package from any where now.
Use doctors examination gloves
Cut away outer box and discard as contaminated
Clean inner package with bleach spray or bleach wipes
Hope inner items were made before January if from China. Before February if made in US. Old school rules the apocalypse baby !
