It’s what scares me the most, the incompetent administration. We have a case in Houston. I pray it is contained quickly. I won’t be going out much till it is.
Coronavirus reaches the USA.

It is amazing how an article that says COULD, suddenly becomes an article that does not say COULD when Havana Moon posts it. The Chinese might be able to stop the spread of the coronavirus. It might stop spreading on its own. Or it might not stop spreading.
It is far from a pandemic, yet. We should be ready for future pandemics. Antivirals are not up to the task.

Look I'm sorry that you got your arse kicked, by myself and Tranquillis in Exile over Brexit, maybe you'll think twice before bringing a knife to a gun fight in future.

Yes it's amazing all right, here is the link to the 2004 study referred to in the article.
Abstract
A novel coronavirus has been identified as an etiological agent of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). To rapidly identify anti-SARS drugs available for clinical use, we screened a set of compounds that included antiviral drugs already in wide use. Here we report that the HIV-1 protease inhibitor, nelfinavir, strongly inhibited replication of the SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV). Nelfinavir inhibited the cytopathic effect induced by SARS-CoV infection. Expression of viral antigens was much lower in infected cells treated with nelfinavir than in untreated infected cells. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed that nelfinavir could decrease the production of virions from Vero cells. Experiments with various timings of drug addition revealed that nelfinavir exerted its effect not at the entry step, but at the post-entry step of SARS-CoV infection. Our results suggest that nelfinavir should be examined clinically for the treatment of SARS and has potential as a good lead compound for designing anti-SARS drugs.

Chinese health chiefs warn coronavirus is growing ‘stronger’, MUTATION closely monitored by scientists
The mysterious coronavirus is now spreading more rapidly and little is still known about it, China's senior health officials said, as Beijing grapples with shortages of hazmat suits and protective masks.
"The virus' transmission ability has become stronger," National Health Commission Minister Ma Xiaowei said at a press briefing on Sunday.
Ma said that the previously-unknown coronavirus, which has already killed 56 people in China, is spreading faster, while the outbreak is entering a "more serious and complicated phase."
The official noted that the government's knowledge of the new virus remains limited and they remain puzzled about the risks posed by its mutations. Beijing will dispatch additional teams of medics to assist patients and study the virus, he added.

C'mon 64 million dead Chinese.
Also confirmed case in San Fran. So that city is doomed.

Chinese coronavirus spreads with no visible symptoms as death toll grows to 80
The death toll from the 2019-nCoV coronavirus outbreak in China has reached 80, with hundreds of new infections detected. Meanwhile, US public health officials have confirmed new cases of the disease in Los Angeles and Arizona.
With 24 new deaths reported in Hubei Province – the epicenter of the outbreak – the overall toll from the novel coronavirus in China now stands at 80, with nearly 2,800 confirmed cases countrywide.
China has also revealed that the virus can spread before any symptoms show. The country's Health Minister Ma Xiaowei confirmed the bad news on Sunday, which has panicked some US doctors.

It should be generally accepted by now- his troll buddies excluded- that maggot is a know-nothing cut-and-paste prick who delights in spreading false information and self-serving capitalist spin.
See you, Jiminy.
LOL!!! I hope that was a joke.
The death toll has surpassed 100, which is not that great. The problem is that with contagious diseases it can always get worse. There was a time that the death toll for AIDS or the black death were below 100, and then they killed millions.
AIDS is a good example of what can go wrong. It is a retro-virus, so had spread far and wide before anyone knew there was a problem. Hopefully we can stop this outbreak before it spreads far and wide.

If you believe the official Chinese numbers you're retarded.
Oh, you weren't joking.
There is no way 64 million people could have died from Coronavirus and no one noticed. The death toll is almost certainly around 100 or so.

I think you, being a boomer and therefore stupid, are misunderstanding what I mean. I don't think 64M have died yet. I'm just hoping they do.

Well don't just sit there- get on out and shoot some and spread some viruses.
I am a Gen Xer. I was born in 1970.
Why on earth would you hope 64 million people will die? How much pain you must be feeling to wish death on 64 million people who have done nothing to you.
