The coronavirus just down the street from me.
"According to a news release from Public Health Madison & Dane County, the individual recently returned from China and went immediately from the airport to the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics. The release said they were tested for coronavirus and have been isolated at home since then and are doing 'well.'" (Channel 3000).

Burn everything they touched
Universities have a lot of Chinese nationals.
Just more American stupidity.
it has a fourteen incubation period, how do you know who they did or didn't come in contact with.
Wuhan is a major industrial hub, and the site of a level 4 biohazard facility, two reasons why they didn't take definitive action,
I think I speak for all of us when I say that I hope you and Meade don't catch it.
I realize there are trillions of Chinese - but why are we allowing any of them to travel or return here? If they come back, they need to fly on specific planes and then quarantined until they can prove they are not sick.
Now that impeachment is over, it will be all coronavirus, all the time.
...Planes used to transport potential c-virus, btw, should be spray painted bright orange hazard and never ever used again by the flying public - until they are dip-soaked in bleach.
Drudge is carrying a link to a report that "Real data on Wuhan virus deaths may have leaked." Tencent briefly shows 154,000 infected and 24,000 deaths.

and buzzfeed's Broderick, had tyler durden, first deplatformed and then doxxed, the same buzzfeed that published the bogus steele dossier,
Not long on a flight Florence . . . I stepped aboard the plane a healthy man and by the time we arrived in Italy I was as sick as I've ever been. I mean very very sick. My bones hurt, my joints hurt, my whole body hurt, I was weak as a kitten and just overall felt terrible. The symptoms were not unlike those of malaria. On the flight home I was so sick I honestly thought I was dying and I went to the back of the plane and lay down on the deck. I was thinking of going straight to a hospital when we landed, but I didn't -- instead I went home and got into bed and stayed there for two weeks. It took more than a month to get over it, actually about 8 weeks. What did I have? How in the world did it come on so fast and hit so hard?
I'm interested in any thoughts you all have on this.

I would have diagnosed you with TDS, but you recovered too quick.

It sounds like the hospital was a wise decision for that individual and for the balance of the population of Madison! Let's hope they stay isolated for as long as necessary.
I feel very badly for the poor souls on that cruise ship near Japan. Being quarantined on a ship, even a large one, would be a hellish experience.
The second language at the U. of Washington is English. My Mom lives within 3 miles of the University. I used to walk to Husky football games.
I think this is the 1918 Spanish Flu. I'm gonna lose some loved ones.
Oh, yeah......did I mention "Build the Fucking Wall!!".
Mom's 94.

Indeed. In addition to coronavirus, they will also have to be concerned with norovirus.

That was true even when I went there--back in the dark ages. Actually, more accurately, 1/4 of the student body was East Asian. It's probably much more now. But these students were some of the brightest and also some of the best musicians.
The idea that this is a bio weapon was n mentioned in the work lunch room by the usually quiet girl. Interesting, as it suggests she reads quite different sources than what some of her “work friends” do.
A loud guy who would fit well in a Red Guard scenario (despite being mostly Norwegian I think in his ancestry) dismissed that idea quickly, and while I am not so sure about his perspectives on this or that, his point was that if it was a bio weapon it would have burned through the populations from London to Tokyo by now.
He may have a point. It is certainly outside the perimeter, but not running completely roughshod.
You’d think a military lab grown virus - if it got out in early December - would have been everywhere before the end of January. The airports would have put it on every continent in a few weeks and from there, to every village diner.
"...point was that if it was a bio weapon it would have burned through the populations from London to Tokyo by now."
Some speculation I've read suggests that it may lay dormant - HIV inserted - for a period of time. You may die from the initial infection, but if not, you now have a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. Piggybacking on that speculation was the theory that it hijacks your DNA and is a "kill switch" for a second virus's release if you're exposed.

Oh, yeah.....the preference for foreign students happened about 30 years ago. The legislature cut the funding for the University from an 80% subsidy to a 30% subsidy in the late 1980's. If I recall correctly. Yeah.....When I graduated in 1980, I was paying $212 per quarter (3x$212).....it was cheap.
A really nice SG-300 Gibson was about $300.
A former colleague, left China after Tiananmen Square in 1989. Tiananmen Square was a tremendously profound event. She said, "It was complete chaos. No one knew who was in charge". It was their window for escape. My colleague, and her husband bought an airplane ticket for graduate school in Tennessee. They didn't speak much English, but they never went back.
Tiananmen Square was an economic boom for the University of Washington. The Chinese students replaced the Filipinos, and Persians that I saw in the '70's.....and suddenly, the Chinese were marching 6-abreast into SeaTac airport.
Funny.....Tiananmen Square fell in 1989. The same year as the Berlin Wall. I'd hate to be Mike Pence!!
Roughcoat, I've had symptoms such as you described with the flu and, in every case, it came on suddenly. And took several weeks to recover. Although I get a flu shot every year, I did get a milder case a few years ago with which I had a 102 degree fever for a little over two weeks.
but why are we allowing any of them to travel or return here?
I was assuming this was a businessman traveling.
But tiananmen is like prague spring or budsapest, or the malecon protests in 94
I have a project in mind for President Trump's second term. The United States needs a system of permanent infectious disease isolation facilities, two or more, preferably on remote islands. It's too easy for determined quarantine detainees to escape confinement and infect others if they are located inside a mainland city, such as Madison. The ideal facility requires an airstrip sufficient to handle wide-body commercial jets, night or day in any weather. It also requires a hospital capable of handling 1000 patients, a high-tech research lab, and living quarters for the scientists, technicians, medical personnel, and security staff.
To make sure that an airliner cannot avoid being diverted, either because the pilot is an asshole or has been hijacked by an asshole, we need a military protocol in place to use fighter interceptors as enforcers, as it were.
For dealing with Asian biohazards the US could put Midway Atoll into service with not too much trouble. Our east coast isn't well-supplied with islands, so the location of a facility for threats of European or African origin isn't as obvious. Perhaps Trump can work a deal with Boris to build a jointly operated emergency isolation and research center on Ascension Island.

When did you get so soft hearted?? Don't let them on the airplane in the first place! It's much safer for everyone involved.
When did you get so soft hearted??
When I thought of myself or anyone I know and love being trapped overseas. We have at least a few obligations to our fellow citizens.
"What did I have? How in the world did it come on so fast and hit so hard?"
The flu.
Lackland AFB here in San Antonio is a quarantine site for possible coronavirus victims. Unsure as to whether any have been admitted. I thought most are being quartered on the east coast.
Well, professor, I hope it goes better than that time somebody just down the street from you got a drone.
Corona virus sounds like
LMBujold :
Diplomatic Immunity -
Cetagandan Star Creche and bioweapons and a Renegade Ba of no gender!
Complex and Amazing plotting.
You are all going to be fine.
The videos out of China do not show a population that is fine.
Normally, I dismiss these reoccurring "Chinese virus" scares. This time however, seeing how the Chinese government is acting, I'm not so sanguine. I've actually restocked my emergency supplies in case of a disruption in food deliveries.
By the way, if you were designing a bio-weapon, you would want it to behave exactly the way this one is behaving.
Cetagandan Star Creche
I've always thought of the Cetagandans as galactic Chinese. Beta Colony is the United States, and Barrayar is Japan.

My first thought for the east would be Gitmo. It's pretty isolated from the rest of the island. Diego Garcia would be a possibility. Maybe one of the U.S. Virgin islands.

It sounds like a flu. The onset was probably so bad because you were dehydrated from the cabin air, and perhaps jet lagged. If it took that long to recover the flu hit you pretty hard too.
I've been wondering if the coronavirus is hurting Chinese food sales.
Barrayar is mainly Russian. They write in a version of Cyrillic.
In Singapore now, at the Marriott Tang Plaza, and they had coronavirus at the Grand Hyatt down the street, from Jan 20-22. We leave tomorrow morning for Bali.

Shumail needs to add coronavirus to that list...;-)
Dendarii are the hillbillys
I thought Cetagandans as Japanese with face painting and all
though the Japanese are also in Cryoburn
Did you dash out and get one of those trendy new glittery masks?
There is kind of a space-age, futuristic quality to all the new Biological Warfare fashions. Epidemic chic !!!
I wouldn't worry about it. Most of the deaths are old people. Over 60. Boomers.
The Spanish Flu was unusual in that it was especially dangerous to healthy young people. Their immune response was so strong it killed them (most symptoms of most systemic infectious diseases are due to the immune response, not to the infection). But this one is just killing old people. AOC must be delighted.
At least one child and two newborns were also diagnosed. The child died.
