I think it's saying that if someone is just a random US citizen businessperson there then they can take the flight but would have to pay for it. The workers, I don't think, are having to pay.

That's the part we don't seem to have a lot of info on, is how well it's transmitting, if at all, before they start showing symptoms.
Bats are literally the worst. I hate them so much. Bunch of viral bombs the little pests are.
News going around in China is that one of the doctors treating patients in Wuhan has died. Seems to be legit, absolutely tragic.
Wait until you meet humans and all the shit they carry and how they have the ability to travel the world in just hours. They fucking suck, and more than half of their males don't even wash their hands after pooping.
Westerners being so high on traditional chinese medicine always amuse me. Bats, elephants, rhinos, shit is overwhelmingly fucking dumb.
Damn that's awful, R.I.P
These people are real heroes, putting their lives at risk to help others. Really hope things get better soon.
Another confirmed positive for Malaysia, bringing the number to 4. All of them belong to the same group that traveled from China and entered via Singapore.
NST is saying this is a separate case?
I'm currently home in the UK visiting family but work out in Beijing. Supposed to fly back on Monday morning. Seriously debating not doing so as I'm not back at work until Saturday and think the extra few days will decide whether work is even going to re-open or not.
That means 2 of the newly infected got the virus locally, in Australia, not in China. So that's a 2nd. generation contagion of the virus. It means Australia should up their efforts twice as hard to contain this locally.
That's more of a Philippines delicacy though yea? I've seen it in china a few times but it's pretty rare there.
There are much, much, much worse videos out there. I would suggest not seeking them out if you have even a small amount of love for animals.
If this is how China deals with this, it's terrifying to imagine how they would handle an actual pandemic scenario.
Lines up with the 2.5 from the university of Florida report yesterday and honestly doesn't sound that bad to me. In its early days SARS was a 4.
I will nope the fuck out of any video that shows this. I am very sensitive and seriously I might faint.
Yes, so far there doesn't seem to be any indications this new strand is more infectious than the SARS epidemic from 2003. That's great news. The numbers are being updated by the hour but it seems that's the range where it will sit for now (between 2 ~ 3).

Ignorant & simplistic take. Bats are also really useful, they eat a lot of insects, they disperse seeds and pollinate flowers.
Animal agriculture is to blame period. Not the type of animal. Even cows and pigs will spread and have spread virus eg. Swine FLu and Mad Cow. We are playing with fire in our pursuit of carnist desires. You should see the antibiotic abuse, not wonder resistant bacteria are popping up.
Oh wow we got a Bat Defense Force here. Should've guessed :p
Balut is very popular in the Philippines. I don't have the stomach for it, but I have a friend who says they are in fact delicious.
I may be a bit ridiculous here but I find it kind of reprehensible that people will freely choose to travel to other countries when they are leaving from an area where there is a contagious epidemic. The only way I can understand is that they are leaving China to go back home but actually travelling knowing you could possibly spread something in another country is irresponsible.
If it's worth doing this ban, what's the point in waiting two more days to implement it?
Not every part of China is infected. I think two days of travel for regions where there are no confirmed cases is fine.
I suppose people can get desensitized after constant exposure and stuff.
I have eaten balut last month in ho chi minh and it was honestly good as a snack . my vietnamese girlfriend lives there , starting to worry for her that it spreads quickly there seeing the proximity and not too different way of life. I m supposed to go back for a month in april, I guess we ll have a contained situation or global pandemic which won't matter must if I go by then.
Right but then if it's fine, why have they decided to ban such travel effective two days from now?
Incubation period is long so no significant impact from two day delay?
I came back through china on the 5th of january, still got sick from the plane I guess, just flu like symptoms that lasted a week. But I can't imagine how risky a plane flight is now in china. I think its a good measure to ban some travel, don't think it will help that much though its probably already too late
Balut is duck or chicken, the problem here was almost certainly wild meat, not stuff that people find gross.
No one knows for sure though.
They are now saying it might be minks.
No one knows for sure though.
Even Batman himself would nope the hell out of this. Wow and ew
