So patient had symptoms on plane. Didn’t report/say anything until 911 is called days later. Even then paramedics aren’t told. But AFTER the fact follows protocol?! And officials say that shows system works? Gotcha!

It’s Probably Nothing
I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
China may have used its status as a major superpower to pressure the World Health Organisation into not declaring international emergency over coronavirus https://t.co/w27pL9FeX5 #coronavirusoutbreak

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD – the new coronavirus is a 3.8!!! How bad is that reproductive R0 value? It is thermonuclear pandemic level bad – never seen an actual virality coefficient outside of Twitter in my entire career. I’m not exaggerating… #WuhanCoronovirus #CoronavirusOutbreak pic.twitter.com/6mmxIHL9Ue

Not a good time to be an anti-vaxxer. Let’s hope one comes soon.
The deadly animal virus epidemic spreading globally may have originated in a Wuhan laboratory linked to China’s covert biological weapons program, according to an Israeli biological warfare expert.
Radio Free Asia this week rebroadcast a local Wuhan television report from 2015 showing China’s most advanced virus research laboratory known the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Radio Free Asia reported.
The laboratory is the only declared site in China capable of working with deadly viruses.

New voicemail from Chinese doctor working in quarantine zone: “There are more than 100,000 infected, the government not providing medical supplies. People are dying in front of their eyes”. Thanks to these brave souls for informing the world! #coronavirus pic.twitter.com/iVqdyUlsYY

Purely coincidence.
Googled bout the #Wuhan #Coronavirus just to find out the world had a new plague starting around the same date for the last few centuries. pic.twitter.com/fTCUe4nIPp

Flashback: Bio-warfare experts question why Canada was sending lethal viruses to China
In a table-top pandemic exercise at Johns Hopkins University last year, a pathogen based on the emerging Nipah virus was released by fictional extremists, killing 150 million people.
A less apocalyptic scenario mapped out by a blue-ribbon U.S. panel envisioned Nipah being dispersed by terrorists and claiming over 6,000 American lives.
Scientists from Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) have also said the highly lethal bug is a potential bio-weapon.
But this March that same lab shipped samples of the henipavirus family and of Ebola to China, which has long been suspected of running a secretive biological warfare (BW) program.
No way on earth this could be related: The World Health Organization says it will decide on Thursday whether to declare a global emergency over the outbreak of a new flu-like virus spreading from China.
Update.
BREAKING: Chinese officials say a 4th city, Xianning with a population of 2.5 million, will be put on lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus
