The woman had been in contact with family visitors from Wuhan, China — the epicentre of the outbreak — who are still in her home, in isolation. Henry says health officials are monitoring them.
Scientists in south China's Guangzhou last Sunday detected the nucleic acid of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) on a doorknob at the house of a patient diagnosed with the disease, according to an official for the Disease Control and Prevention Center in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province. Zhang Zhoubin, deputy director of Guangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that other areas prone to contamination include mobile phones, keyboards and faucet handles.

Trump administration taps 'emergency' funds to combat deadly coronavirus
The Trump administration has notified Congress that it will tap $105 million from a reserve fund designed to combat infectious diseases in response to the coronavirus.
Meanwhile...
A video the CCP doesn't want you to see. Several reports show that non-infected people are being forcefully taken away as #coronavirus “patients” for reporting the truth on social media. CCP can use quarantine as an excuse to hunt down the dissidents.

Pure speculation here( should change my nick😉) but if China was given a s# trade deal by trump would shutting down all manufacture not cripple America too? In a no win scenario do you think that might be the goal of this? - pure conjecture and speculation on that one though🤷🏽♂️
It will affect the entire world's economy dramatically if it keeps going for a few more weeks.
We could enter a recession far deeper than the 2008 fiasco.
We simply need to lift the quarantine and have everyone go back to their normal lives. That's the only viable solution.
A few thousand deaths is a small price to pay for saving the economy, because that economy keeps the 7 billion of us fed and alive. Without it (a good economy) most of us will not survive. They gotta end the quarantine asap.
Theoretically however, it is plausible that Europe and the US can survive the loss of China's manufacturing and cheap labor. We will need to change our habits and alter our economic policies however to mitigate all of the problems. It would be very difficult and challenging, and we would have to claw our way out of a very deep recession, but it is doable and we could survive without them. Our population can't keep exploding though, and we can't keep borrowing money to pay for everything either.
So yes we can overcome the worst case scenario (complete economic collapse), but it will be a very difficult and challenging road. China's predicament is far worse than ours however, they could go into revolution and end up in complete chaos.
That's why I am baffled by their decision to call the biggest quarantine in history after the (mild) virus was already global. Why would they shoot themselves in both feet?
Wow President Xi is an idiot.
I bet it hasn't even occured to him that quarantining practically the entire country will effect the economy.
I'm going to ring him up right now and tell him muzzle flash says he's a big dumb ass and muzzle flash says he needs to end the quarantine right now because muzzle flash says it's no worse than a cold and muzzle flash says hardly anyone dies and muzzle flash clearly knows far better than the actual people on the ground in China.
Thanks muzzle flash, you've just saved the world with your amazing insight and knowledge.
Hip hip hussar.
My posts are getting through, I won an ad hominem reply!
To respond so condescendingly to me without being able to combat the points I'm making is sort of an admission that I gotcha. You just dislike me for challenging your preconceived notions and paranoia.
That's ok though, I'm not posting in here challenging you guys "to be the cool guy". That's lame anyways. I'm willing to be the guy none of you can stand if that's the price I gotta pay to tell you the TRUTH. I will always choose the TRUTH over any persons opinion of me.
Shoot the messenger all you want, I'm feeling bullet proof today.
Don't care what anyone thinks of me, I only care about the TRUTH.
I'm not countering your specific points (such as they are - they mainly consist of "this is no worse than the cold because I say so") because:
a) I can't be bothered;
b) You're not listening nor willing to contemplate any opinion other than your own erroneous one;
c) I've already done my own research, and maths, and observation of what's going on and it's clear - this is FAR worse than ANY of the authorities will have you believe;
The idea you have in your head that you - a keyboard warrior have it all figured out, and that the Chinese are idiots for shutting down cities and locking people in their apartments and building new hospitals because they're emotional fools who are susceptible to knee jerk reactions for no good reason.
I think you have the 2 sides of the equation mixed up with regards to who knows what they're doing and who doesn't have a clue.

Quick observation for those looking for a signal in the herd/massess that they are paying attention:
1. First time seeing people wear mask in Sprouts (grocery store)
2. A family member saw someone wearing a mask at target.
3. I observed someone wearing a mask at Walmart two days ago
Please pay attention to these details and post as a way for us to stay ahead of the curve...

City spraying trucks used to combat virus. Tweet poses an interesting question;
How do you stop the spread of an airborn BSL4 virus?
These trucks are used for anti-mosquito spraying and are a regular sight around China in humid areas. Saw them down south often in spring and late summer. Wasn’t aware they had them further north, maybe them shipped them up there possibly.
