The WHO is part of the UN, and much like the UN in general it mostly nags countries and gets ignored

I'm sure they have some resources that will come in handy and this declaration will be a slight net positive, but it's not really that significant

And Taiwan no longer can submit their data to the WHO because they were bullied out by China.

This is not a new thing, it's been that way for many years now and a factor of less and less countries recognizing Taiwan, and China using its influence to block Taiwan from WHO membership. They don't even have observer status.

I have boomer family travelling across international borders to a casino because they have some $99 overnight deal, and I'm fully prepared to never see them again because they catch this, the border closes, and they die - there's a suspected case in quarantine a mile away from the casino

But, you know, $99!

Is the casino in Wuhan?

Because outside of China, nobody is closing a border tomorrow.

CNC could be a good catchy name for the english speaking world.

"Didja hear? Becky got CNC and now the office is closed."

Its a loving shame it wasn't a super flu. Wuhan Flu would be a great name.

I like the Sin Nombre virus, a hantavirus discovered in the early 90s near the Four Corners area. The Navajo objected to calling it "Muerto Canyon hantavirus" and locals objected to calling it 'Four Corners virus', but then virologists couldn't figure out a name so it just became "No Name" in Spanish

So a doctor from John Hopkins University was on TV. He said:

1. The number of cases popping up everywhere means it's too late to contain the virus.
2. It also means that there must be many undetected, undiagnosed cases, which implies that most cases are quite mild.

I wonder how many people die of regular seasonal flu in Wuhan this time of year - if that number was counted up like the deaths from NuFlu it would probably ease some fears a bit. Flu is nasty poo poo, but is this flu actually nastier than normal once you strip away the hype and rolling news coverage?
