AbsolutSurgen Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Cases of new viral respiratory illness rise sharply in China Quote The number of new cases has risen sharply in China, the centre of the outbreak. There were 470 confirmed cases as of Wednesday, said Li Bin, deputy director of the National Health Commission. Nine people have died, all in Hubei province, since the outbreak emerged in its provincial capital of Wuhan late last month. 'You could literally go around the Earth' before symptoms start: Screening for new coronavirus Quote The first U.S. patient illustrates one of the weaknesses of airport screening — the man in his 30s did not have symptoms when he arrived and was in good condition, so he wouldn't be picked up in a check for fever. Rather, when the man started feeling ill, he went to a doctor, with a fever and cough. Lab tests confirmed the infection and he was put into isolation for monitoring. Quote Dr. Kamran Khan, an infectious disease physician in Toronto, said there's a time between when people are infected and when they develop symptoms — the incubation period. For coronaviruses in general, such as those that can cause the common cold, the incubation period is typically five or six days. With coronaviruses such as SARS and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, MERS, the incubation period can extend to two weeks. "You can imagine if an individual is infected and they get on a plane and it could be up to two weeks before they manifest symptoms. In today's world you could literally go around the Earth before you start to develop illness," said Khan, founder and CEO of BlueDot, a digital health company that helps predict the spread of infectious diseases globally. "We need to kind of think about that in the context of how airport screening works. The value of airport screening and engagement with travellers, if you will, is more about giving them the information they need so that if they do become sick after they've left the airport they know what to do." Tam called the airport measures one layer of protection on top of alerting health systems to be on the lookout for travellers who may be infected. Otherwise, health officials are stressing precautions for travellers to prevent the infection while in China, such as staying away from animal markets, washing hands, observing cough hygiene, not contacting sick people and telling health-care providers about their travel if flu-like symptoms occur.

They accidentally shared classified information with the team, which they then had to self report. Bunch of wankers... There are now some rumblings that this may not be new. Apparently China opened the most sophisticated disease lab in the region last year. So there is a possibility that they just recently gained the ability to detect it. We shall see I suppose. Also the first recorded case was 12/3, but China didn't release a statement until 12/31. Oops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 China unveils measures to rein in spread of 'mutating' disease Quote Seventeen people have now died from the mysterious Sars-like coronavirus, Chinese authorities have said, as the government unveiled measures to rein in the spread of the disease and advised residents of Wuhan not to leave the city.

AbsolutSurgen Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Wuhan’s 11 Million People Face Quarantine as Virus Fears Spread Quote The Chinese city of Wuhan, the seventh largest in the country with approximately 11 million people, will be under a partial quarantine from 10 a.m. Chinese time Thursday, according to a newly issued government notice. Flights, long-haul buses, and trains from the city, which is a critical transport hub for central China, have been canceled, and residents have been told not to travel without special reason. The coronavirus that emerged in the city has been spreading with frightening speed, with the number of cases shooting up over the weekend and at least 17 people now dead. Wuhan: Virus-hit Chinese city to shut public transport Quote Those living in the city have been advised not to leave, in a week when millions of Chinese are travelling for the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday. The airport and train stations will be closed to outgoing passengers. Bus, subway, ferry, and long-distance transport networks will shut down from 1000 local time on 23 January.

AbsolutSurgen Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 China locks down 2 cities to try and stop spread of deadly virus Quote Police, SWAT teams and paramilitary troops guarded Wuhan's train station as last-minute travellers arrived, only those holding tickets for the last trains allowed to enter. At exactly 10 a.m. local time, metal barriers blocked entrances while helpless would-be travellers were turned away, with some complaining they had nowhere to go. Quote On Thursday, Huanggang city, which borders Wuhan, became the second Chinese city to go into lockdown over the coronavirus outbreak, with health officials saying they would suspend public bus and railway operations from midnight local time. Authorities in the city of around 7.5 million also ordered indoor entertainment venues including movie theatres and internet cafes to shut, and asked citizens not to leave the city other than under special circumstances. Quote Dr. David Heymann, who headed WHO's global response to SARS in 2003, said the new virus appears dangerous for older people with other health conditions, but doesn't seem nearly as infectious as SARS. Other reports suggest the likely source of the virus is from the illegal selling of live snakes at the Wuhan market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iculus Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Yeah, this is bad. CBP are now telling the CDC that they need to start screening at every point of entry for all of China (just over 500,000 individuals/month). And the WHO still hasn't declared this a PHEIC.

Last I heard (last night), there was a student being tested for it. So far, no confirmation. I would imagine that there's a CDC team on the scene running tests, or at least a remote team working with docs there at the Uni to run the right tests. EDIT: TTU was my alma mater!
