Quote:China takes the lead in imposing travel restrictions, locking down the city of Wuhan while the rest of the world acts as a voyeur. Could this be catastrophic?
If you want information on the novel Coronavirus, don't bother going to the World Health Organization website, whose advice from a piece posted on January 10 reads:
"International traffic: no restrictions recommended"
This, while admitting in the same piece of advice to travellers that the level of risk and the means of communication of the virus remain unclear, and while admitting:
"WHO does not recommend any specific health measures for travellers. It is generally considered that entry screening offers little benefit, while requiring considerable resources".
This, while the WHO Emergency Committee appears unable to decide whether to issue a declaration of a public health emergency of international concern. Let us examine the WHO's previous record in such illnesses. Does anyone remember the Influenza A H1N1 a decade ago? The WHO sat back,told people to be vigilant and to avoid contact with those infected, then informed us as the virus spread from Phase 1 through to Phase 6. In other words, the virus became a global pandemic and the authorities waited until enough people were infected for the Pharma Lobby to swing into action and make billions on selling targeted anti-viral medication. The same approach followed with the West Africa EVD (Ebola Virus Disease) in 2013-2016.

Quote:It goes about the patient, who returned to Washington State from China on January 15. Upon returning from the trip, he turned to doctors who suspected that the person could be infected with the new coronavirus. Further tests confirmed the diagnosis. According to the Washington Post, the person arrived in the USA from China before federal health services started inspecting travelers at three largest US airports.
In connection with the identified case of the disease, Central American countries enhance the epidemiological monitoring of travelers from foreign countries. Sanitary measures are being taken by health ministries of the following countries:
Guatemala
Panama
Costa Rica
Nicaragua.
Meanwhile, the new type of coronavirus has already killed nine people in China, while 440 cases of the infection have been confirmed, deputy head of the State Committee on Hygiene and Health of the People's Republic of China, Li Bin, stated at a news conference.
"Medics have been able to identify the airborne transmission for the virus to enter the human body," the official said.
He called on the population of the country and foreigners not to travel to the city of Wuhan even on the days of the "Spring Festival" - the lunar New Year, when, families traditionally travel to gather together. The authorities of the DPRK also decided to temporarily close the border for foreign tourists.
The Chinese official admitted that it was the city of Wuhan that became the source of the new virus. The Chinese authorities immediately informed the WHO and China's neighboring countries, including Russia, about the appearance of the virus.
Chinese academician Gao Fu, the head of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, confirmed that the it was wild animals illegally sold on the Wuhan market that became the source of the coronavirus, which the media dubbed as Wuhan flu. On Wednesday, the Macau authorities reported the first case of the new infection. The virus was found in a 52-year-old woman, who came to Macau from Wuhan. She was admitted to a local hospital on Tuesday afternoon with pneumonia, which was caused by the new type of coronavirus.
