Does anyone know if this is localized to China only?

I have a friend in Cambodia right now. They are staying at some very swanky resorts but I don't think this is just slummies that are affected.

Don't you think this is a bit of an overreaction?

Similar to "swine flu"


This one should be the "shrimp flu". It started in a batch of shrimp at a seafood market.

It is known this strain can be transmitted through direct contact.

Dammit. You beat me to it.
Shrimp Flu is the only name that should be considered.

There are new virus strains developing daily, doctors and health officials still have a pretty good handle on how this strain of coronavirus will present itself, and it isnt the plague......

Stopping flights or freaking out is gross overreaction. Thats my only point

Well I agree with that. Most likely this is a swine-flu or bird flu or SARS type thing. Being reasonably proactive about it's containment and alerting the public is a good thing.

True, but the alert is and should be: wash your hands and try to avoid sick people

We also don't know how transparent China is being with the information. This is a huge travel time in China, so there is some incentive for the govt and state media to downplay something like this.

It has been found in, I think, 6 countries (including 1 patient in the US).
