Didn’t know where to ask this, but this thread seemed like a good spot.
Did I read correctly that Miami OH cancelled their basketball games because of the virus? Why did they do that?

Substantial economic losses 
You can’t be serious
You should run an estimate of the losses that would occur if even a minor outbreak happened in the US.

I would suspend flights from China every single time some new virus emerges as a standard procedure
Kneejerk reactions with enormous economic consequences. Wouldn't you prefer calm, rational decision-makers?

If you want to eat bats and can’t practice basic hygiene then that’s the price you pay. Don’t like it? Start changing your behavior

This virus + SARS + MERS combined will kill less than the flu this year, so I'll ask again, how are you coping?

I’m going to walk away from this conversation for the simple fact that you have already made your mind up and can’t even acknowledge that you don’t have the facts to make a statement like this
Speaking with such authority based on preliminary numbers out of China is not only irresponsible it makes you look extremely ignorant

I bought some MREs, but that's just because I'm rotating my hurricane supplies.

Two possible cases on campus.

quote:You have to multiply those estimated losses by the difference in probability of an outbreak occurring by shutting down flights out of China vs. not doing so. There might be 100% chance either way, or 0% chance either way.

You are trading guaranteed losses for unknown savings of another unknown.

China's lieing, there are thousands dead and hundreds of thousands infected. These people have traveled the world and no one is restricting them. There must be thousands infected and hundreds dead across the world too...
Oh, wait. 88 cases. No deaths. The rest of the world lieing too?

Simple question. If you could stop the flu from ever getting here next year would you stop flights from China to do it?

In this made up world where this could actually happen? Maybe.
It's simply not practical here on this world. Not even remotely practical.

This raises many questions, and the answers could be terrifying at worst and very interesting at best.

As much people and cargo goes through UAE it would be surprising if it didnt show up there.

Its not accurate.(not worded well)
First report of the wuhan coronavirus in UAE confirmed about 20-30 mins ago.
Family traveling back from Wuhan area confirmed. Stable and in observation.
Not a new strain
