Exclamation Corona virus coming your way. Suit up!

Is this what is coming next? Seriously, better start thinking of how you’ll address this when it spreads over the US.

Probably not going to spread here any more than Ebola did. A few cases will come in but probably won't spread.

The difference between the spread is very different... Not so much air travel to and from West Africa... Huge amount of air travel between China and surrounding countries and beyond... However not nearly as fatal... Time will tell how it all shakes out but the bio suit on the Flt Deck is a bit over the top...

This picture was from a asian decon crew decontaminating the airplane after a passenger was found to have the virus. I think this is a video from the same event. Makes sense for him/her to be at a high MOPP level.

Well when you believe CCP propaganda, it's hard to grasp reality. For those following leaked reports of what was happening in China this is no surprise. It'll be interesting to see what the actual numbers are, if they ever come out. Based on crematorium activity and urns shipped to Wuhan, the death toll there alone is about 46,000.

Also doesn't help that the WHO, also called Chinese Health Organization by the Japanese recently, claimed there was no human to human transmission in mid January.

It makes no sense for a country of 1.3 Billion people to have less cases than a country of 66 Million (Italy) or the United States at roughly 330 Million.

I was wrong about this one.

But there's a difference between being wrong, right, and a broken clock... the broken clocks are "right" twice a day.

It wasn't just you. None of us saw this one coming.

When customs officials greet you in spacesuits it's nice not to be underdressed.
