Ope...someone has a cold from CPAC.

President Trump didn’t appear at a White House briefing on the coronavirus outbreak on Tuesday, after promising a day earlier he’d hold a news conference to announce a “major” economic stimulus package

I read an article that it doesn't survive over 70 degrees for what it's worth,,,,

Singapore isn't cold.

They're saying it's in Iran now, which has some cities with high population densities and limited public health resources. I read about two weeks ago a quote that "in the next 4-6 weeks we'll know [if it can be controlled]". Lots of Chinese work in Africa too. If it gets there, worldwide aircraft travel might dry up. This one may not be a practice drill.

The consensus answer to whether or not it can be controlled seems to be: doubtful, but if so it will take a major effort.

I guess Tom Hanks and his wife are the first celebrity couple to have it, down in Oz.
