MSNBC reports mystery illness in Asia-kills every one infected so far. Hundreds more infected. Airlner to Toronto with infected man has been quarentined-- all passengers.
CDC is "EXTREMELY concerned". If these hundreds who are infected die in the next couple of days, we might have the beginnings of a panic. After sophisticated test doctors don't know what it is. Like flu or Pnemonia symptoms, except everybody dies. Press conference at 1pm.

"All we are saying is give peace a chance..."
Yeah, a chance to kill us all. I would'nt be surprised it this was a deliberate attack.

I believe it is and one case is now quarantined in France, arriving from the US, if memory serves.

Is this the Asian "Atypical pneumonia?" Yes and the sick person was taken off in Frankfurt from a flight from New York to Singapore.
The suspected infected individual was a doctor who treated the first cases of this atypical pneumonia in Singapore.

Is this about the plane and passengers that have been quarantined in Germany with that outbreak of pneumonia that I partially heard on Fox a little while ago?

When the CDC uses the words "EXTREMELY concerned", it is like a diplomat saying "GRAVE consequences". It means it is very serious and has them worried. When you have a disease that can't be identified by sophisticated means, you can bet they're spooked.

Robert Brazelle report on msnbc. said nobody has recovered once infected-death comes pretty quickly (days).
To: KickRightRudder
One would assume that the progress of this epidemic is being monitored in "Asia."
That's a big place. Can anyone be more specific about the country of origin?
