Yeah I dont really trust the Chinese government in a situation like this. They will be definitely trying to limit the effect this has on their economy.

I definitely dont trust the govt but for a doctor to say that is kind of weird. How would a virus know how many people are around and if people are close enough wouldnt it be possible to infect way more or way less. Seems a bit arbitrary to select 14 ppl. Although interestingly enough using the number 14 will definitely inflict more fear, due to its meaning in the culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navarro said. "That's a spin that's coming right out of Wall Street, and it really, I think, it does a disservice to this whole crisis to bring that into the discussion" *************************** Quit being a**holes and drop or lower the tariffs.

nuckin_futz Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) 3 of the Japanese who returned from Wuhan on the govt flight are confirmed as having coronavirus Thu 30 Jan 2020 00:22:46 GMT The Japanese government has chartered planes to evacuate citizens from Wuhan in China 3 of those who have returned have been diagnosed with the coronavirus NHK, TV Asahi and Fuji TV all reporting ********************* There's a test for this thing. Maybe test them before you load them all in a metal tube and lock them in. Just a thought, but congrats on importing 3 new cases of Coronavirus into your country. Canada is preparing an evacuation flight for approx 160 people. Let's hope they're smarter than this bunch. 3 out of 206 on the flight out of Wuhan test positive. That's 1.5%. There's 11M people in Wuhan. 1.5% of 11M is 160,000 possible infections. Granted, it's a pretty small sample size for the math.

nuckin_futz Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 11 Wuhan residents traveling back from abroad were found infected with the coronavirus Wed 29 Jan 2020 03:44:00 GMT The Global Times conveying the report citing China customs 11 Wuhan residents traveling back from abroad were found infected with the novel coronavirus as of 6 am Tuesday So, its probably reasonable to say that some of these folks (likely all of them) headed away from Wuhan while inflected but not showing any symptoms, and by the time they returned began to show symptoms (fever, for example). Its probably also reasonable to think they have infected others while away. ***************** What a nightmare. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EP Phone Home Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 A week late to the party but finally WHO sees this as an emergency. Also Russia has closed its 4209.3KM (2615.5mi) border with China. Finally some urgency is being done rather than just waiting for it to spread.
