People line up to buy face masks from a medical supply company in Nanning in southern China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2020. Countries began evacuating their citizens Wednesday from the Chinese city hardest-hit by a new virus that has now infected more people in China than were sickened in the country by SARS.
The news comes as the 195 Americans evacuated from Wuhan, the Hubei province city of 11 million where the outbreak originated, are undergoing three days of testing and monitoring at a Southern California military base to make sure they do not show signs of the virus. Amid reports of shortages in food and daily necessities in hot-spot areas, the authorities are “stepping up efforts to ensure continuous supply and stable prices,” the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
The new virus has now infected more people in China than were sickened there during the 2002-2003 SARS outbreak. In comparison, the SARS virus killed about 10% of people who caught it. The new virus is from the coronavirus family, which includes those that can cause the common cold as well as more serious illnesses such as SARS and MERS.
FOX26Houston In my mind it’s because Chinese cities are over populated? Maybe unclean in certain areas? Can’t attest have never been, but if the Black Plague taught us anything this is how is starts, right? 😳
This year so far over 180k hospitalized thats only hospitalized not total count for known numbers of people having it and 8200 deaths from the flu in tbe US alone But starting a panic because 170 have died from the coronavirus is what you’re doing Great reporting as usual
It's only spreading ,because people are scared and moving away .

vegix In the United States more than ninety (90) people die in car accidents EVERY DAY. A little perspective.
Hoping things change soon
The Kung Flu.
If you don’t have facts, statistics and context PLEASE STOP REPORTING NOTHING and NOTHING NEW.
Heard 90,000 are infected, Yikes!
People in healthcare are talking on Periscope about how their hospital's administrators are telling them if anyone asks them if tha coronavirus iz in their communities, to say they know nothing and do not talk about it. Seems a tad cheeky to me. 😐
This prediction model is still on track so far.
Good news It appears the controls put in place the CCP are working The numbers were doubling everyday for a bit there That appears to have slowed quite a bit. A very good sign.
In other news... 500-1500 influenza A/B deaths in Canada this season... hundreds of thousands infected
They knew this crap way before reported. Pretty sad. KARMA gonna hit hard.
Tesetherapper there are conspiracy theories out there that literally doesn’t help what’s really going on but it is possible that this may be a bio-weapon.

What’s the infection rate? Hopefully it’s low.
So it has doubled since Sunday?
The Reported and the real death toll I would guess are different?
