The economic fallout could be very large. China is the manufacturing hub of the world. Apple makes most of their stuff there at Foxconn and even has a manufacturing facility in Wuhan. If China cannot manufacture, industry elsewhere could halt. They make a hell of a lot more than just the cheap plastic crap found on Wal Mart shelves. Yeah I hear ya on the second part. Hopefully it's not as bad as some scenarios that are being painted. It's really scary stuff. In 1919 Spanish Flu killed at least 20 million. And apart from the military there was no air travel. Think about that. Edited January 28, 2020 by nuckin_futz 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) First presumptive case of coronavirus confirmed in B.C. Health officials have confirmed the first presumptive case of coronavirus in B.C. Provincial health officer Bonnie Henry said the case involves a man in his 40s who lives in the Vancouver Coast Health region. The man recently travelled to Wuhan, China. Henry said the man is in isolation at his home. The update comes as China is reporting 25 more deaths from the viral disease, bringing the death toll to at least 106. It includes the first death in Beijing. Meanwhile, the wife of the first confirmed patient in Canada is isolated in her home as she awaits final confirmation of her own case. Officials, including the federal health minister, say the risk associated with coronavirus is low. https://globalnews.ca/news/6473048/bc-coronavirus-update-tuesday-jan-28/ ************************* Some more info from a separate story on the Vancouver case .......... B.C. reports first coronavirus in Vancouver region First patient visited Wuhan, China, reported symptoms B.C. has recorded its first case of novel coronavirus from China, B.C. Provincial Health Officer Bonnie Henry says. The patient, a man in his 40s who regularly visits China, is “doing well in isolation at home,” Henry told a news conference at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control in Vancouver Tuesday. B.C.’s first patient visited Wuhan, the Chinese city where the new virus was first identified, and reported symptoms after he returned to his home in the Vancouver Coastal Health Region. The man was aware of the risk and “self-isolated” after his return, Henry said. “This person was not symptomatic on his flight, and there is no risk” to other people, she said. Canada’s Foreign Minister Francois-Phillippe Champagne said Tuesday the federal government is in contact with Chinese authorities and is part of an international effort to control the spread of the new respiratory virus. Health officials say the world-wide sharing of information and speed of diagnostic tests has improved greatly since the 2003 outbreak of another new viral strain, called severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). In February 2003, the Chinese government notified the World Health Organization of 305 cases of SARS, with five deaths and 105 health-care workers infected. In the early stages, China provided information to WHO only on Guangdong province, where the virus was believed to have originated, and discouraged news reports of other infection sites in the country. SARS spread to Hong Kong and from there to Toronto, from people who came into contact with each other at the same Hong Kong hotel. More than 400 Canadians were eventually diagnosed with SARS and 44 died in an epidemic that killed 800 people world-wide.

EP Phone Home Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Welp got my cases of N95 masks and really limiting my time in Richmond as much as I can. First case is now here and the way our health officials are treating this threat I’m sure we will have more confirmed cases tomorrow. Everyone is coming back from the lunar new year. Party on Wang!

PhillipBlunt Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Article written about a Canadian teacher who lives in Wuhan and has some of the best advice regarding the idea of evacuating people out of the affected region...Don't.

DonLever Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 We have a dichotomy here. In China the virus outbreak is considered so serious, they have quarantined huge cities while the WHO has downplayed the risk. Someone is lying. China has instituted a travel ban throughout the country. The question is why has western countries not instituted a travel ban on people from China. Canada and the United States should institute a travel ban for all visitors from China immediately. Just on the safe side. With the first case in Vancouver, it is only get worse in here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Why are our officials so spineless at times? Ban travel to and from China. Quote Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada's chief medical officer, has said symptoms of the new coronavirus are similar to those of the common flu and it can take up to two weeks for an infected person to start showing signs. “You're taking a big chance,” Duplessis said in a Skype interview from China. “You put people into a container with recycled air, where even three or four of them might be asymptomatic - the risk is too great.” China has confirmed more than 4,500 cases of the new virus, with more than 100 deaths. Most have been in the central city of Wuhan where the outbreak began in December. Duplessis is originally from Espanola, Ont., and he teaches at Wuhan Optics Valley Weiming Experimental School. He said he thinks it's best to wait it out in Wuhan “no matter how difficult that is.” His advice is to maintain routine. https://www.cp24.com/news/wuhan-like-something-out-of-the-walking-dead-canadian-teacher-says-1.4786306?cache=yes%3FclipId%3D89680%3FclipId%3D89680 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
