China claiming people can infect others before they show signs.
That is a game changer, if true.
No proof provided yet...and, well, China lies.

Safe bet is stop all travel between China and US, and any in between routes here.

China quarantines 56 million people, they are in a freefall.

10-14 days incubation where no obvious signs are observed are found on many infections .... back when you needed to ride a boat to get across the ocean and all forms of transportation being slower made worldwide spread not as easy

Isn't this the same with many infectious diseases, such as the common cold and flu?

They always say you are more infectious right BEFORE you start showing symptoms compared to when you've had symptoms for a day or two...or at least that's what I've always been led to believe...

Oh, the irony of it all.....

If BHO was still president, this would signal THE END OF THE WORLD to conservatives.
Our ears would be ringing with "What the hell are you doing about this???? We're all going to die!!!!
What's the latest emergency response on Fox News, for crissakes???".

Remember Ebola?
We had less than a year to live collectively as a species.

Now, though, a whole different story.
Sure - cancel a few flights from China - it's all under control here.
Shut the f**k up, will ya? We're making money here.

Fact check: The earth's population didn't hit 3 billion until 1960.

He meant 1.6 billion, but look what I found … world population must be causing climate change - see the correlation to the hockey stick of Mann's?
