China has closed the airport and suspended public transportation in Wuhan; of course, the horse is well outside of the barn. https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/22/asia/...hnk/index.html

The guy in the office next door to me was teaching a coronavirus lecture this afternoon. He had to update one slide after lunch because the morning slide on case numbers for this virus was already too dated. Much of back background is in respiratory immunity to viruses and vaccine development against the same, but these emerging coronaviruses just don't interest me as much as the emerging mosquito-borne viruses. With this virus, China can quarantine whole cities and we can check people as the get off planes. Those sorts of things will definitely help. It's much harder to control mosquitos. Anyway, like @Nephrology said, no reason to get all stirred up. (However, scary viruses can translate into more money for scientist, so if this really bothers you, feel free to write your congressmen in support of more funding for science along with more opposition to gun control.)

I used to own ferrets and they were subject to something called Coronavirus and it was vicious. It caused massive intestinal bleeding. They basically bled to death in their guts

Why do these outbreaks happen in China all the time, I know they're dirty and it's highly crowded but they seem to have more of these dangerous new flus than India or Indonesia, also dirty and crowded.
