Yep. And at a minimum it has a mortality rate of 2%. That's 20 times as deadly as the worst flu seasons. At a minimum. Actual mortality rate is probably more like 15%.

I overheard an offhand comment earlier to the effect of Chinese officials having met with American officials after the outbreak but before the world was ultimately made aware of the worsening situation by China.
Got to thinking, that would be a diabolical method for attempting to perpetrate harm upon the President, exposing a few of his close advisors, or himself directly, to some sort of virus like this, or even worse if possible.
Wonder if foreign officials are medically screened in any way prior to commingling with that level of advisors and/or the President??
