This is worse than they are letting on. I think it was yesterday when they locked down Wuhan. You know it's gone bad when you quarantine an ENTIRE city. Was watching an interview of tourists there that managed to get out.

Even before the lockdown the government has already stopped all public transportation - buses and all, and these two chicks had to find someone willing to drive them to the next city. There's probably some tourists still left stranded in there.

If you live in Asia it's probably wise to start wearing masks when going outside considering the number of Chinese flying into the area. In my country alone they are sending back at least 100 people that were directly from Wuhan. Not to mention the local Chinese population in this region that is already in China and would fly back home after the festivities tomorrow.

oh that virus will benefit china's youth a lot, freeing them from pension costs of their elederly large generation

Sounds mean but absolutely true if this primarily affect the elderly. People say the Black Death is what allowed Europe to transition out of its feudal stage. (It caused a labor shortage, which drove up wage.)

Not the first time a virus arose there due to poor practices. SARS came about because they were raising chickens over pig pens allowing the bird flu virus to jump specie (and pigs are know super virus incubators). Now this "Novel" coronavirus is suspected to have originated from fruit bats... sold in a food market that also carry several exotic animals for you know what. Bats are vectors for rabies and ebola, when would people learn to stop eating them?

This is alarming since due to the Chinese's new year,  more Chinese are traveling overseas and an easy way to spread the virus globally. The US, Australia, South Korea, and some countries are confirming the presence of this virus o their country. Though it is a milder version or strain of coronavirus but its hazardous to people with compromise and a weaker immune system like seniors and children. Better to stay at home indoor for now than to mingle with many people whom you did not know like malls etc. Means of transfer is by contact, and airborne when someone affected sneeze. Wash your hands always, avoid contact to eyes, mouth, nose, etc.

Actually even before the lockdown there are already Chinese abroad that are showing symptoms. This virus have an incubation of at least 3 days so it's very possible for people to pass airport screenings negative.

And at the time there seem to be little alarm so there might not even be screenings. IMHO these should be all mandatory whether there's a reported outbreak anywhere or not. This is a globalized world, microbes can travel half a planet in just a matter of hours on people or even cargo.
