In China, there is a rightful panic. The latest strain of Coronavirus to jump from the animal kingdom to the human population has turned deadly, and quickly.
As of this writing, the death toll in China has crested the three digit mark. We are now officially in troubling times, especially given that China hasn’t previously been the most forthcoming nation when it comes to admitting issues that they are facing.
This was also a feature of the Chernobyl disaster, wherein a coverup seemed to be modus operandi from day one. Maybe it’s a hidden feature of communism that you only unlock after starving so many people?
In any case, the Coronavirus we’re dealing with today is downright scary, and the US government knows it. That’s why they’re taking every precaution that they can, no matter how bold.
The U.S. State Department urged Americans on Monday to reconsider going to China because of the coronavirus, after warning against travel to the Hubei province of China, where the respiratory illness is believed to have originated, .
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Monday it had not recorded any new confirmed cases of the illness overnight since its last update of five, but that as many as 110 potential cases were under investigation.
The State Department said Americans should reconsider any plans to travel to China during the outbreak.
In an advisory posted on Friday, the State Department said: “Do not travel to Hubei province, China due to novel coronavirus first identified in Wuhan, China.
The virus is believed to have first jumped to the human population at one of Wuhan’s wildlife markets, most likely from a snake.
