China has never quaratined a city of 11 million people before.
Something is different this time. Actions speak louder than words. If only 543 cases and 17 deaths, why quarantine a city of 11 million people.. |

To give you an idea just how dangerous a deadly flu strain can be to a society, watch this Korean Film. That is a very scary movie.

Well shit!
"Fairfax County schools are considering immediate "adjustments" to the student exchange program involving 21 middle school kids who arrived from Wuhan China in the last 48 hours. Parents are concerned the kids could carry the #coronavirus" Update: "BREAKING: Fairfax County Schools decides out of an abundance of caution that exchange students from China will not visit schools, rather will tour cultural sites, find activities in DC area. Health officials say the risk of #coronavirus in kids is 'extremely low'" - WTF |
Just wait until the #coronavirus reaches these lovely spots on the Left Coast.
 Thanks California. Just effing thanks!

Two things I can contribute:
I studied epidemiology a decent bit back in grad school (bioinformatics) and recall reading a paper simulating an airborne outbreak originating in Thailand. The biggest factor in quarantining the virus was how long it incubated for. Simulations with a 5 day incubation period were pretty bad, requiring a country to shut its borders within 72 hours of the first outbreak cluster to successfully contain it. There have been some reports that this virus has an incubation period up to 10 days, which is pretty bad. Folks are already taking it very seriously here in the states. My girlfriend is a nurse and she said her hospital started a policy today of putting symptomatic recent travelers from China into airborne isolation. Edit: no reason to panic about anything but now is a good time to revisit your preps. If you and your whole family were bedridden for a week could you manage with the supplies in your house right now? |

I'm supposed to go to Shenzhen via Hong Kong in March. Eyeing this very closely.
I was in China during A.S.S. avian flu, swine flu, and SARS. If anyone was found to be sick they would find anyone that was on the plane with them and quarantine them and anyone that has been in contact with them. |

It's already known to be in the US, Taiwan, and Thailand, so quarantining Wuhan now is too F-ing late.
If it's known to be in the above three, it's surely in others but not proven, so unless the world goes full-Madagascar, it's a given that the Wuhan will be *everywhere* soon enough. |

SEOUL: North Korea will ban foreign tourists to protect itself against a new SARS-like virus that has claimed at least nine lives in China and sickened hundreds, a major tour operator said. Mr Cha Yeong-hyeong, head of the Dandong-based travel agency INDPRK, told Reuters the company was informed of the ban verbally by its North Korean counterpart on Tuesday. The company was told an order banning entry of tourists from China would go into effect on Wednesday, with the restriction to last until a vaccine for the coronavirus is developed, said Mr Cha. BTG International Travel & Tours confirmed that it had received a written message from its North Korean supplier, citing the North Korea travel administration saying customs had been closed as of Wednesday morning. The North Korean government is preparing an official notice, and will later announce when tours can be resumed, the message said. |

Call sign Manchild
| everybody knows that the common influenza virus causes anywhere between 300,000 and 650,000 deaths per year over the entire planet right? world war 1 was called a draw on account of the Spanish Flu which took somewhere between 20-50 million lives. viruses have been a companion to human evolution for as long as we have walked on this planet, every now and again a particularly virulent strain arises, sticks around for a while and then fades away. just another day on planet Earth. |
| My wife and I were discussing the CDC spokesman news shot this am. "we have a playbook for that" doesn't fill me with confidence when line 37 says "blockade the city and let the disease burn itself out". |
