For weeks now, experts have been saying it’s inevitable that coronavirus will come to New York. So, where is it? As of today, all of the suspected cases have all been ruled out, which is great. As Mayor de Blasio said a couple of weeks ago, it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when. We know this outbreak is very early — it’s only six weeks in. Right now, the U.S. policy has bought us time. That’s basically what it has done. As the weeks progress, this outbreak is unfortunately going to get worse before it gets better. I think we’re lucky that we’ve been bought this window of opportunity so that we can continue our preparedness measures and our risk communication — letting the public know what to do.
The Navy and Marine Corps messages, issued Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, reference an executive order directing U.S. Northern Command to implement the Department of Defense Global Campaign plan for Pandemic Influenza and Infectious Diseases 3551-13.
The document serves as the Pentagon’s blueprint for planning and preparing for widespread dispersion of influenza and previously unknown diseases.
The Marine Corps’ mission, according to the message, is to “prepare for potential outbreaks of [COVID19].” The service must “mitigate, respond, and recover from the effects in order to maintain force readiness.”
...commanders are to review their disease containment plans and take “preparatory and precautionary actions” to protect service members, installations and ships.
This includes ensuring that the plans contain procedures for “response, isolation, quarantine, restriction of movement and community based intervention” as well as developing measures to contain and treat those possibly exposed.
Two unusual COVID-19 cases were reported in Xinxian county in Central China's Henan Province on Sunday, which shows strong contagiosity and whose sources of infection could not be determined.
One of the two patients, surnamed Wu, was confirmed to have been infected 34 days after returning from Wuhan, Hubei Province.
During this period, Wu attended two family dinner parties and came into contact with 10 people, two of whom have been confirmed to be infected and another three are suspected of being infected.
The other patient, surnamed Ning, was confirmed to be infected 94 days after coming into contact with his father-in-law, surnamed Zhang, who had been to a Wuhan hospital for medical treatment.
World Health Organization holds secretive talks with tech giants Google, Facebook and Amazon to tackle the spread of misinformation on coronavirus
The 'shocking' rise in misinformation about the 2019-nCov virus has been described as an 'infodemic' by Andy Pattison from the World Health Organization.
He said sites were 'awash' with misinformation and conspiracy theories but that big tech companies were stepping up to combat the problem.
It's also known to be fatal to people who are smokers

The government actually stands to lose substantial profit from this, and so do any American centred businesses. They'd kill us to protect their bottom line.

everything the CDC and WHO has done is just to avoid panic. Not to keep anyone safe.

The experts they're sending to China aren't even going to Wuhan. They're hitting Beijing and a few other mega cities that are barely effected.
Theater.

You think everyone's social media stopped working and that it wouldn't get out because of the CDC or De Blasio? Looks like you're giving the government far too much credit.

Always a good baseline to evaluate a conspiracy.... Are their too many chefs in the kitchen to keep a secret. This one would have a huge paper (digital) trail.

This one requires pretty much everyone to be in on it.
I believe this was an "engineered" virus that came from a lab
