SARS-like virus spreading rapidly in China; cities quarantined; cases in US

Brilliant retort, must have taken a monumental effort.

More points than all the fake news combined.

…some very funny talk.

lol, might have to extend it a day or two. Bad bad flu season you know.:rofl::rofl:

What’s your point?

:joy_cat:

But where does he get his pizza?

Your contributions are truly invaluable. Thanks for the wisdom.

Since I seem to have missed it, what is your solution to prevent this from becoming an epidemic in the US?

This spread about a thousand times more easily than ebola.

Sars is a minor problem compared to the Chinese Carona virus.

Yes it does, it spread by contact and is airborne.

Actually, he had to switch to a new element he created with a big pipe wrench because of palladium poisoning.

Yes, a quarantine for 40 million people in the middle of a country is unprecedented. News reports are that all transportation of people in an out of area around Wuhan is severely restricted.

While it is unlikely that the a lab is the source of the virus, the exact origin of the outbreak is still not known. One problem with figuring out what has been going on is that the earlier response from the government was to arrest people posting about the virus:

It is difficult to say what the actual death rate is for people with the disease since the number of reported infections is going up very rapidly. One issue that deaths can occur a week or longer after the patient has symptoms:

It is also possible that one person may spread the disease to many people possibly without showing severe symptoms:

We’re going to need to quarantine the earthquake!

Everyone stop moving we don’t wanna add any trembles.

Lat I heard the lock down had been expanded to something like four or five cities.

Looks like the Chinese government and the BBC have been infiltrated by the legendary vast right-wing conspiracy:

Maybe we can build a wall around China that they will pay for?

Yep, it is up to 56 million under quarantine in China

The US is looking evacuate Americans from the quarantined areas.

I assume that the US government will keep a close eye on the returning Americans to assure that they don’t spread the disease here.

What’s alarming is just how fast it’s spreading. Two confirmed cases in the US another probable, and a couple of dozen suspected cases under observation.

If there isn’t some rapid action on either cutting off travel from China except for Americans and permanent residents returning home or a much more in depth screening process at the ports of entry it could be a real mess in a hurry.

We’re already having a pretty rough flu season, and if people with the flu or who are weakened as a result of the flu start getting exposed it could get serious fast.

The CDC issues a “Warning - Level 3, Avoid Nonessential Travel” for the area around Wuhan two days ago.

I would not be surprised if they will be forced to expand the warning for the whole of China given the rapid expansion of the disease.
