The two new cases were a Chinese woman in her 50s and a Taiwanese man in his 50s, who both entered Taiwan from China on Jan. 21, according to Taiwan's Central Epidemic Command Center.
The Chinese woman traveled to Taiwan with an 18-member tour group from Wuhan. The group was originally scheduled to depart Taiwan on Jan. 28, but following the diagnosis, it was asked to cancel all activities and its members were asked to return to their hotel

Health authorities confirmed late on Friday that a third person had tested positive for the new coronavirus originating in Wuhan, taking the total to five.

The man is understood to be the husband of one of two women in their 60s who tested positive for the disease earlier in the day. All three are now undergoing further tests to confirm the preliminary positive findings. 

Earlier, the police were called to the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sha Tin after the couple, who recently returned from a visit to Wuhan, declined to be placed in isolation after falling ill. 

Officers stopped the couple outside the hospital and brought them back to be isolated.

More news on 2nd case in US.

CHICAGO—A Chicago woman who returned from a visit to China earlier this month has been diagnosed with the respiratory coronavirus that has sickened hundreds in China, according to the Chicago Department of Public Health.
The woman, who is in her 60s, remained hospitalized Friday and her condition had been stabilized, said Dr. Allison Arwady, the commissioner for the Chicago Department of Public Health, on a news call with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The woman travelled to Wuhan, China, in late December and on Jan. 13 returned to Chicago, Arwady said.
Nationwide, more than 2,000 people had been screened for the virus as of Thursday, and 63 patients in 22 states were being investigated Friday because of possible signs of the virus, according to the CDC.

Havent you been talking about an astrological junction that is soon to be happening that coinicided with that black plague the last time?

a reply to: TheLead

yeah but capricorn is actually more about governments, we are in the midst of this conjunction right now.. it could be this or it could be something brewing under the surface within our social/governmental structures

I work as a Paramedic and a college teacher in Quebec Canada, there’s a lot of concern about this virus. Yesterday we had 6 suspected cases. 4 tested negative the outcome of the 2 others case are not known yet.

Yesterday we tried to order N95 mask type. Been told by our supplier that 3M the manufacturer of those mask has blocked orders from anyone except hospital and government agency.

I have information that it’s a matter of time before they declare this virus infection as a pandemic.

Best guess 15 days incubation, right now 900 confirm cases. We should see in the next few days this number x 10.

Sorry for the typo main language is french

I'm sorry man but this is all complete BS. Try to stick to the facts and not your idiotic hocus pocus.

I cant post it here,the email, but debriefing mentioned it being a "novel" coronavirus and the dna sequencing at this point is to identify it for DIAGNOSTICS.. not like in the movies where they sequence it and have a cure in 5 minutes. We dont have "cures" for coronaviruses. It mentioned its high potential to mutate and then we start all over. It takes a long time to identify and get real numbers because they sequence all of it.. a bazillion people..... and look for a mutation as well. This is why our worst case scenarios always come out of China.. the sheer number of people that have to be thrown into the pile for sequencing and hunting it down ( and its mutation) .

I dont believe its from snakes and seafood or bats and etc meat at a market. I mean thats what they keep saying, but they are the media... and WHO keeps mentioning snakes and the market. Thats just me though... I dont have any of the ground information obviously. Mainly because China isnt releasing all of the info and briefings arent comprehensive. We dont get to know every piece of the puzzle.

We are told to assess for fever but the major symptom isnt fever. We are told to be very aware of respiratory issues and pulmonary issues. Drowning in fluids basically. If you ask me the Chinese screening for fever is #1 being careful and #2 pacifying people. They are mainly screening for respiratory issues.


Im not posting anything that you cant find if you look... this is what your first responders get though.. rehashed info and speculation.


Get this.. theyre STILL saying there is NO confirmation yet of human to human transmission.

Also.. keep in mind we wont have real numbers about anything until its all over. Right now dont just center on the death count.. youre not getting the right numbers anyway. You should look at the rate of transmission. Critters that arent fatal are capable of shutting populations down if they spread quickly enough.

I don't speak Chinese but apparently talk of 90,000 dead in this video can anyone confirm. youtu.be...

Good grief. Thats what I was talking about..that big bloom of numbers within the week.

One of our friends daughters works at a hotel by the base as a housekeeper. They had a 30 min meeting today with them telling them about the virus and etc. Its by the airport and a lot of international flyers.. mil base.. so there is a potential.

Wasn't sure where to put this. . . . .

July 4th, 2019

A researcher with ties to China was recently escorted out of the National Microbiology Lab (NML) in Winnipeg amid an RCMP investigation into what’s being described as a possible “policy breach.”

Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, her husband Keding Cheng and an unknown number of her students from China were removed from Canada’s only level-4 lab on July 5, CBC News has learned.

A Level 4 virology facility is a lab equipped to work with the most serious and deadly human and animal diseases. That makes the Arlington Street lab one of only a handful in North America capable of handling pathogens requiring the highest level of containment, such as Ebola.

I found this little nugget in this article..
Canadian Government Scientist..

A Canadian government scientist at the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg made at least five trips to China in 2017-18, including one to train scientists and technicians at China's newly certified Level 4 lab, which does research with the most deadly pathogens, according to travel documents obtained by CBC News.
Xiangguo Qiu — who was escorted out of the Winnipeg lab in July amid an RCMP investigation into what's being described by Public Health Agency of Canada as a possible "policy breach" — was invited to go to the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences twice a year for two years, for up to two weeks each time.

They are currently monitoring 63 “patients under investigation” in the U.S.

Not sure where you got that information... they have confirmed human-to-human transmission:

Chinese health officials, which first reported the cases last month, said human-to-human transmission has been confirmed.
