Funeral workers disinfect themselves after handling a virus victim in Wuhan in central China's Hubei Province, Thursday, Jan. 30, 2020. China counted 170 deaths from a new virus Thursday and more countries reported infections, including some spread locally, as foreign evacuees from China's worst-hit region returned home to medical observation and even isolation.
Experts say there is significant evidence the virus is transmitting among people in China and have noted with concern several instances in other countries — including Japan, Germany, Canada and Vietnam — where there have also been isolated cases of human-to-human spread. Russia announced it was closing its 2,600-mile border with China, joining Mongolia and North Korea in barring crossings to guard against a new viral outbreak. It had been de facto closed because of the Lunar New Year holiday, but Russian authorities said the closure would be extended until March 1.
Human-to-human spread of the virus outside China has also occurred in Germany, Japan, Canada and Vietnam, and was a major reason the World Health Organization has convened its committee of experts Thursday to assess whether the outbreak warrants being declared a global emergency. The committee last week had advised the U.N. health agency it was too early to make that pronouncement.
A flight was also en route to China to bring back 350 Europeans. The U.S. said additional flights were planned for early next week after it evacuated 195 Americans from Wuhan on Wednesday. They are being tested and monitored at a Southern California military base. Amid reports of shortages in food and daily necessities in hot-spot areas, Chinese authorities are “stepping up efforts to ensure continuous supply and stable prices,” the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
Transport ministry spokesman Wu Chungeng outlined a series of rigorous temperature checks and other “severe measures” to detect possibly infectious passengers. Transport restrictions such as those isolating Wuhan and suspending inter-provincial bus services would remain in place, Wu said.
Is the virus a sign of karma for the treatment of minorities/poor by the Chinese Govt

Is the corona virus outbreak and response truly global if WHO deliberately excludes Taiwan?

This shit is just one virus they just decided to make popular... a distraction from something else
How lucky are we? The massively corrupt GOP leaves the guy in our WH who thinks England no longer exists and is robbing the U.S. BLIND to find a 'silver coin' lining to a deadly virus threatening the world. GOOD TIMES. GOPISCOMPROMISED TheLastWord Lawrence
Jamaica just announced its first case and I'm so worried that my beautiful first home with its much weaker health care system will not manage this effectively. What a nightmare.

Stay away from Chinese restaurants and Chinatown. Don't believe what the government is telling you. My friend works for the Health department and says they have already stockpiled 1000s of hazmat suits this past week. Something big is coming!
56 million people quarantined in China and they expect us to believe only 7711 confirmed cases and 170 related deaths due to coronarvirus? China is either gravely underestimating their numbers, lying, or they are taking over the top extreme precautionary measures.

Wait, deadbeat donald said he had the virus checked and under control and that we have nothing to worry about. I guess he thought it could not get past his wall (the one that blew over from the winds).
Congratulations! You are now infected!
DEATH RIDES AH PALE HORSE......
SydneyLWatson Spanish Flu anyone?
Good thing trump WH took down Obama plan and infrastructure to combat global epidemics. Making America sick again is GOP way - dirty water, dirty food, dirty air, increased risk of disease and no coverage for preexisting conditions to go along. Wow.
SydneyLWatson The WHO rn be like:

Let's talk origins... From where, and how, did this virus originate? Seems suspect to me 🤷♂️
BretBaier China needs to be held accountable for not containing this virus. They new they have known about this for weeks and did nothing to contain it .
This population control getting crazy.
gazedmedia Who released this virus?
The Plague has begun!
Oh!
selectedwisdom People need to be concerned about the plain old flu. As of January 18, 2020 there have been 15 million cases of flu, 140,000 hospitalizations, and 8,200 deaths in the US this influenza season. Get your flu shot people!
The U.S. companies that moved jobs (and transferred technology) to China must be in chos.
Weeks too late.

its just a flu tho media is so annoying makin this bigger than it needs to be
Well not shit Sherlock! What took so long?!
Yet me continue to allow flights to and from China.
Those aliens gonna kill us all
Took em long enough...
Fear mongering as usual. Every few years some 'emergency' comes up. Assuming they need money so they'll find a way to monetize this. Common cold and the flu kill far more people yearly, are those emergencies also?
We are tracking in real time people in China on their trust in health authorities. Critical to measure as deterioration in trust in public health authorities can dramatically increase those at risk. riwidata coronavirus
It’s a little to late... and what does it actually means? Not much detailed information from this press conference except they praised the PRC China.
Oh piss off with the fear mongering. Every few years there's something like this. The common cold and the flu kill far more people yearly, that's not an 'emergency'. Next step for then is to figure out how to monetize it....just wait
Don’t believe the hype

Cheap hotels in Wuhan! Who is with me!?
What took the W.H.O. so long to make this decision? Grave error on their part. Who or what influenced them?
A bit late. So many countries are reporting case of coronavirus already. Should of stop any flight of travel to and from China until they could get it under control!
BretBaier Too late. 5 Million possible exposures left before the quarantine and how many of them left China. How many are not stepping forward because of fear. How many left China by land. Bigger question is whether or not China lost control of a weaponized disease.
And the global cleanse has begun.
Let's talk 30 days from now, even if a vaccine is developed... Coronavirus
Took you long enough!
BretBaier Translation: We need the US to hand over a pile of cash!
if i see someone chinese sneeze I'm getting the fuck out of that area
It’s about time, right elainelmpn.
Yeah, so much for the CDC making it sound soooo not a problem a couple of weeks ago? Kinda at this point, - Closing the barn door after the horses have been let out? Idiot's!

This is almost as bad as the time my wife caught something during her girls trip to Vegas. Thanks for the surprise, Susan.
Time for me to update my antivirus program.
BretBaier It’s too late the Chinese have licked all the packages that come over here ...we are doomed
Breaking: The UN and WHO are complete jokes.
abc15 This is when you close the boarders
Now they're declaring coronavirus a global emergency. WHO BRUH
BretBaier Our politicians are too busy to worry about this folks
Stopping coronavirus now is like trying to close Pandora's Box. It's too late. This virus will keep circulating, just like the common cold, & eventually become part of our RNA.
BIG PHARMA?
