Shouldn't all airports be screening everyone who is boarding the planes, in addition to those disembarking the planes. Infected / sick travelers should not be allowed to board a plane the first place!

Most ppl in china are still unconcerned by this but with the cny travel rush in a few days, with huge amounts of ppl crowding about. This has the potential to become a widespread epidemic.

When someone drops dead in a crowded airport or trainstation, that is when people will really take notice.

Fear is the easiest way to control people. Check how many people die of the common pneumonia every year. One should be more careful about why there is so much fuss about it

[Hannah-pygk]

The government has to inspect what the population was eating and selling in the past years when there were the first cases of the corona virus, hence, it will know today why the virus returned ...

[XMiniDoraemon]

Hopefully this don't turn into SARS, hope everyone will take extra precaution to help preventing it! I pray that all who are affected by the pneumonia, to get well soon and hopefully this virus can be controlled and be put to a shut soon!

[yearem]

Does that affect items shipped from china?

[dapoetic]

Here in 2023 and there's a scenario playing off similar to this

[joalvarez]

China has another virus outbreak?!?! Me: Lights cigarette!

[imeldomarcos]

Obviously this came late. Probably already happened since last year.
