Looks like Sars 2.0 is trucking through Asia killing people and probably already here. Has anyone heard of the 100 year plague I'm reading about? Air travel is definitely going to give this shit a free ride

Yep, got an email on the company warning system. I’m not super excited it’s made land in the states. Better than Seattle than here for my Phoenix flight.

I'm worried about it landing here. Vancouver has a huge Asian population with several flights per day from just China alone.

Those fuckers KNOW they are sick!!!!!!~ Why in Gods green earth don't they stay the fuck home????

This! I was on a plane that was 30 minutes from the half way point to the mainland from Hawaii. So.....we turned around because some idiot tourist, who was in the hospital, was not doing well so it was a medical emergency. Why did the person get on the plane if they are not cleared to fly. SMH

Also travel twice a year to Snohomish WA twice a year. I guess I might have to look into masks to wear for April. :looking:

17 dead in a country of 1.3 Billion. More people probably die from bathtub accidents every day than that.

My amazing Google search skills reveal
How many people die in China each day? In 2016 there were 7,09 Mln people who died in China. If you divide by 365 days, you get 19424 people that die each day

17 dead in China...not a number to worry about. Even 170 in china, I wouldn't worry about...the numbers are hugely missleading... unless it's 1.7. :eek:

17 becomes quite a large number if effective measures aren’t used to contain it.

What started as an isolated few in China a month ago, has now reached 4 other countries including the US.

And unlike some other outbreaks, this one can go from person to person.

I was considering taking the family to Knott's but decided that would be a terrible idea. Just confirmed in LA in addition to OC. I don't know Bout fearmongering. China has 10s of millions in quarantine and are building new hospitals for thousands in days. Seems like they are pretty worried about it.

The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) and the Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) announced today (1/26/20) that a Maricopa County resident has been diagnosed with the 2019 Novel Coronavirus. The confirmed case is in a person who recently returned from travel to Wuhan, China.
The patient is a member of the Arizona State University community who does not live in university housing. This person is not severely ill and is currently in isolation to keep the illness from spreading. MCDPH and ADHS are currently investigating to identify any close contacts that may have been exposed while the person was infectious.

When mother nature is done with the human race, she will make a little virus and scrub the planet clean in 6 months.
Probably so, I'm just hoping she waits a little longer to start scrubbing.

Like I mentioned once before.
26 years ago I caught that bad ass Strain B influenza.
Hospitalized and came close to killing me.
Your body can’t shake it. It’s the Grip. Just keeps on shutting your systems down.

My mom told me in an English accent: “It’s because the Chinese fertilize their food with human shit.”

I'm surprised Canada only has two cases and its in Toronto, not Vancouver. Here a suburb of Vancouver, Richmond is 60% immigrant in population. 52% are from mainland China. Its the largest percentage of population of Chinese in North America. I usually go to the casino for prime rib, but its filled with Chinese and decided against it. Just because, don't know how many have just came in from China. My SIL is Chinese. Born and raised in China. She has been here ten years. She's a Chinese doctor, like being a naturopathic. She works in China town in Victoria. I told her she should take a vacation from work for awhile. See how this materializes.
