I am totally confused by the lack of response to the Corona-virus in the United States. 1. It transmits before patients become aware that they are sick 2. 5 million people left Wuhan (chinese new year migration) before the city was quarantined 3. China is taking drastic measures
Shut off flights from all of China a couple of days ago. Temperature testing (not perfect but better than nothing) at airports from countries at risk.

For how long should we not be able to fly from/to China? I see the temp stuff periodically, do we know at what scale it’s done as a standard practice? I believe they’d started doing it for Wuhan before China shutdown those flights

AFAIK, all we have to go off of is: 1. SARS 2. 1918 influenza: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu … With the internet, I don't see much downside to keeping people in their homes for an extended period of time, at least until incubation period ends for most people.
