Wuhan Corona Virus Coming Soon? (Now Here)

Starting to collect tires *after* cases were reported.

You misspelled "at all", and it's just another example of "service" that County should really be providing all the time, not just when there's emergency funding available.

The medical expert in China who said everything is under control, nothing serious going on, and who presumably knows how to avoid contracting contagious diseases... was just diagnosed with Wuhan Coronavirus:

Twelve days ago, a Beijing pulmonary expert traveled to Wuhan, the epicenter of China's coronavirus, and declared on China Central Television that the outbreak was "under control" and a "mild condition." Eleven days later, according to The New York Times, he himself became infected with the virus.

Wang Guangfa, who heads the Department of Pulmonary Medicine at Beijing’s Peking University First Hospital, was part of a team of experts that earlier this month visited Wuhan, where the virus emerged...

Wang.. said he was receiving treatment and would receive an injection soon. "I don’t want everyone to put too much attention on my condition.”

^^ that's some next level communist propaganda right there.
We will just have to wait and see if it burns out before it gets here, or wait.

From reading the reports I'm still not sure how Wuhan differs from the really bad cold going around here in Puna?

Nobody ever quarantined an entire city (almost 12 million people) for the common cold. Hopefully it's nothing. I do recall SARS having a higher mortality rate and that seemed to eventually peter out as the virus mutated. I think the scare is that because it's a new (to humans) virus we don't know what it's capable of.

Huanggang a city of 6M has also been quarantined.
Seems like panic mode in China.

Incubation period 3 to 10 days. Airborne.

The thermometer check at the airport only catches those who are sick. It does nothing to the people just exposed to the virus which may become sick later. This is the troubling part about the Seattle case.

Suspected cases in Sydney Australia and in Greece.

Some Schools are now advising parents to keep their children home if they feel unwell.

If the Government says not to worry you are probably fine.

1902 on the Caribbean island of Martinique.

"The papers, though, still assured the people that it was safe to stay. Some were even denied permission to leave — and so thousands of people stayed, right up until the moment that the volcano rained devastation upon them. In less than 60 seconds, the entire city was destroyed. More than 30,000 people died. "

I have zero trust or faith in the Chinese government. Who knows what is the agenda since they are not forthcoming as to the real issue or symptoms. Given the stats provided by the Chinese, the mortality rate of the Wuhan curse is about the same as a bad flu which begs the questions, what's the problem?

The seasonal flu is still a way bigger risk than this Chinese thing.

Harry Kim must be Chinese.

Communist Chinese steal dangerous virus from Canada lab last July and bring it to Wuhan. What a coincidence that there is now an outbreak of a deadly virus in Wuhan!
