    I have a feeling I'll be on the lookout for Randall Flagg in about 2 weeks.

    Nothing really. 64% of the cases have failed to be detected through airport screenings so far.

    AND it looks very likely that Australia has lost control.

    Wouldn't be surprised if they have an epidemic on their hands in the next weeks.

    Noticed today that UT is bringing all of their students currently studying in China back to the US. Sounds like a great plan.

    I wouldn't worry about Australia as much as I would India. They just got a case there.

    seems like ncova is comorbidity fatal, mortality rate is low so far , might not tip the scale of average by much when it all said and done

    I have zero information about the case in India. Was it found on arrival? Were they in self isolation or quarantine?

    However in Australia the infected was touring Melbourne for a whole week staying in various hotels and then took a plane to the Golden Coast.

    One on plane infection confirmed already but the other 175 passengers on board are yet to be tested or even secured.

    It has been 4 days since.

    It will be a miracle and extraordinary from the australian authorities if they manage to contain this and avoid the epidemic at this point. Or amazing luck.
    Meanwhile the country is still accepting all flights from China.

    The novel coronavirus is extremely virulent — more than twice as easily transmitted as Ebola, and nearly on par with HIV. If left uncontrolled, the virus would spread “very fast,”

    From Zhang Wenhong in charge of Shanghai, a leading infectious disease expert at the Fudan University-affiliated Huashan Hospital.
    He also said that CCP party members should be sent to the frontlines:
    “Party members swore an oath to put the public welfare first. Now it’s time for them to step up.”
