    Some of those countries probably don't even have the kits or labs to test for the virus.. closing our border to China may not be enough.

    Apparently they've got a couple of thousand tests, but are concentrating on Jakarta

    I agree, damned if you do and damned if you don't. However, I believe the point the doctor was making is despite feeling well they had presented themselves at the hospital to get tested 'just in case' without any apparent symptoms

    Chinese officials confirm Corona Virus is airborne.

    Coronavirus is airborne, Chinese official confirms

    There was word a while ago that they thought it wasn't 'airborne' per se, and only could be caught through droplets, but they are now saying it can linger in the air for a period of time - hence why the infection rate is so high.

    Also, it can be contracted through the eyes (which makes sense considering the eyes are connected to the throat).

    All those people in China that looked funny wearing swimming goggles were onto something!

    Wanton recklessness/negligence and stupidity that now endangers the world. I mean after SARS, they must know they were playing with fire. Selfish to the core.

    We were in Bali 2 weeks ago. Large numbers of Chinese tourists there...you'd have to bet some of them were from Wuhan and a small number potentially infected.

    Something doesn't smell right about the Indo government's smugness and come to think of it, I am feeling a bit under the weather today....

    Be vigilant, not be alarmist.
    Less panic station for the love of god.
