BEIJING—Two more Chinese cities were put on lockdown by the government on Thursday, as authorities in the Chinese gambling center of Macau said they were weighing closures of its casinos, expanding an unprecedented experiment to try to contain a fast-spreading virus that has killed 17 people and infected more than 600.
On Thursday, authorities in Huanggang—a city of 7.5 million people—said they wouldn’t let long-distance trains and buses run from the urban center and would shut its public transportation system in the lockdown zone, effective midnight Friday local time. Ezhou, another neighboring city with just over a million residents, said it would enact similar restrictions, bringing the total number of cities with travel restrictions to three.
Tom Inglesby, an expert on epidemics who is director of the Center for Health Security at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said “large-scale quarantine efforts in the past have not been successful in changing the outcome of disease outbreaks.”
Chinese authorities have suggested the coronavirus is spreading between people primarily through coughing, kissing or contact with saliva. It emerged from a seafood and livestock market in Wuhan and has spread across China and into the U.S., Japan, South Korea and Thailand.

who knows how long this goes before they find a treatment they can mass-produce

i realized after a flight loaded with small children how toxic seat belt buckles and arm rests and tray tables must be
they def don't clean those
maybe in this case though coming from jina they will break out the clorox
if i were a crew member i sure as hell would
you may want to wear one of those face masks as a precaution
and to scare people

A case has been confirmed in Chicago. I'm glad I spent my time the last couple weeks with my family and not in any queue trying to get Pearl Jam tickets.
