The United States has its first confirmed case of a new virus that appeared in Wuhan, China, last month, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Tuesday. The coronavirus has already sickened hundreds and killed six people in Asia.


CDC officials said the United States will be more strict about health screenings of airplane passengers arriving from Wuhan.

They're trying to keep this virus low key but this crap is serious deadly to the young and old/infirm. Possibly the beginning of the next pandemic? Sure hope not.

China virus kills six; 300 infected...

Cases in Australia, Philippines?

Beijing imposes quasi-quarantine...

Hazmat Suits Deployed on Planes...

Medics Scanning Plane Passengers...

Lines for face masks...

Panic across globe...

Antibiotics don't work...

We had our first poster try and blame obama for this. Didn’t see that coming, did you?

This kind of thing happens, the world is smaller than ever before, thanks to technology. This is the negative side of that.

This stuff is well on it's way, there's a 4-5 day infectious/contagious period where there are no real signs of being sick so it gets a real headstart on being passed around. It only takes a small handful of people say on an airplane to literally infect hundreds a day. The rate of infection is explosive for those flying in on an airplane. just one planeload getting into an airport, a hundred people can turn into a thousand in a day and those thousand turn into ten thousand the next and a hundred thousand on the 3-4 th day and 4-5 a million and so on.

Let's hope they get it corralled and under controlled before it goes to schiff.

This is very bad news...

There is also unconfirmed reports of a case in Mexico.

It comes as British experts said up to 10,000 people could already be infected - adding that we can't rule out the possibility" there could already be a case in the UK.

Professor Neil Ferguson, an expert at Imperial College London, said the new strain is currently "as deadly as the Spanish flu epidemic".

The 1918 outbreak is the most severe pandemic in recent history, wiping out an estimated 50 million people across the world.


Prof Ferguson warned of "more deaths to come" as fellow experts said the outbreak has reached the threshold for an international public health emergency - ahead of today's World Health Organization meeting on the issue.

The agency could declare the virus a global health crisis today as its experts rallied to hold an emergency meeting in Geneva today.

Doubt there is much to be done besides hygiene and nutrition (including plenty of hydration), isolating the infected and treating their symptoms with fluids, etc. I know they have antiviral drugs, but not really sure how they work or if they are effective against this virus and if so how quickly they can be brought online. Sounds like this could be bad.

Isn't population control a major goal for the enviro-commies? I suspect the anti-human radical environmentalist movement is behind this.

“Population control” is largely the program of Malthusians who are on the political right (but often environmentalists). Regardless, if any people can be blamed for this natural disaster, it would be those who choose to house workers in unhealthy barracks in order to reduce labor costs and to shortchange medical research so the rich can keep more wealth for themselves.

Nope. It's the enviro-commies who want to murder millions, as evidenced here by their poster boy:

A symptom of his opportunism. I admit he is a leftist, but this is an example of the adaptation to reaction that disqualified him as a labor leader.
Nothing is ever the fault of the left in your world, is it? That's delusional, and a big danger of the thinking of religious fanatics like you.
