LAWRENCE, Kan. — The Lawrence Memorial Hospital is investigating Kansas’ first potential case of coronavirus, according to a statement by the hospital.

The hospital recently received a patient with respiratory illness symptoms who had recently traveled to Wuhan City in the Hubei Province of China, which is where the coronavirus originated. The patient will be placed in an isolation room designed for infection prevention.

Why are they letting these sick fuckers fly all over? Have they never seen the Walking Dead?

Thanks for bringing the Zombie apocalypse to the Heartland.

When it takes 2 weeks for the symptoms to show it's very hard to know who has it...

[TLO]

Not confirmed, and they're now in isolation. There's really no reason to freak out about this.

[Mecca]

I've seen some people online losing their minds about this thing saying millions are going to be quarantined etc etc.

[Iowanian]

Every person who gets the common cold(many strains are A corona virus) or influenza are going to think they have the China plague.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Might want to burn it to the ground, just to be safe. ;)

Millions are already quarantined in China.

Their Kung Flu is strong.

As long as they wait to quarantine me until after Sunday, I'm good.

So far the symptoms/mortality rate read like a rather contagious version of the flu. I had a friend of mine get the Swine flu, it sucked, but our health care system got her back on her feet.

[Cheater5]

SARS 2003: 8,098 cases (8 in US) w/ 774 deaths.

Wuhan coronavirus as of 27 Jan 2020: ~2,700 cases (5 in US) w/~80 deaths.



And then there's this...

CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 15 million flu illnesses, 140,000 hospitalizations and 8,200 deaths from flu.

Just some perspective...we're not talking Captain Trips here, folks.

Literally was about to post this. Media loves to sensationalize the shit out of any new virus. Influenza killed 34,200 people last year

[Mecca]

If you're old, a baby or have a baby, or have a shitty immune system you might wanna be worried otherwise I doubt the freakout is worth it.

Saw a Chinese woman wearing a face mask walking into Lowes. I made sure I didn't touch anything where she went.

Eh, about 1/4th to 1/3rd of the folks on my floor in McCollum were Chinese nationals (I was there from 2011-2013). Some kept Chinese hours too.

How do you know she was Chinese?

[htismaqe]

Slanted eyes, only 4 feet tall. You know, that kind of stuff...

[comochiefsfan]

Keep that shit west of the state line.

[Shiver Me Timbers]

I had to fly out to the west coast on Monday.
Only saw 2 people with Masks at the Den.
Our one reported case in Lakewood turned out to be a false alarm.
I am sure we will hear more and more of these infections over here before things calm down. I read an article about a couple of pharmaceutical companies working on a "cure" and they sounded pretty positive.

[BucEyedPea]

How do you know she was Chinese?

Her eyes, hair and build. Plus the mask.

Lol tried that already , sum bitches grew back

There have been 495 more reported instances of spontaneous human combustion than coronavirus in the US

Thought that was a freshman dorm when my two kids went. My son had a Chinese roommate, turns out them Chinese don’t like Skoal lol but have pockets full of greenbacks

[ChiefBlueCFC]

I'm so excited to fly through Phoenix and Seattle next week on my way to Alaska...

[digger]

Well that does it

burn lawrence kansas to the ground Like we really needed a reason. ROFL

While I was there (during McCollum's final, mold filled, A/C deprived, and and oft-flooded days, god bless ya, Mac). The 9th and 10th floors had suites that could be lived in by non-freshman. They were still cheaper than any other dorm on campus, and I wasn't quite ready for apartment life yet.

My third year I moved to Meadowbrook, where I lived until I graduated. I stole a brick from Ol' Mac after its demo, though - too many memories not to keep something behind.

[Eleazar]

Not really surprising that a college town had people traveling back and forth to China over the Christmas break.

I lived in Meadowbrook for years in building XX.

While I lived there somebody set building ZZ on fire and then set building YY on fire.

I lived in fear.

Again, it’s just a version of pneumonia. Just don’t ignore the symptoms and get on some anti-botics.

Maybe she was there to buy up all the masks.

Thanks, I'll ask Sam Waterston where I can get some anti-botics

Masks are usually to protect other people from you, not the reverse

[KCUnited]

Notable symptoms include loose stools being flung.

[TambaBerry]

Well that does it

burn lawrence kansas to the ground

like you racists did before?

[alanm]

Well that does it

burn lawrence kansas to the groundSomebody dig up Quantrill.

How does one contract this virus? Is it airborne? I can get it touching door knobs and shit or do I have to roll around with dead bodies?

[DaFace]

It's basically a nasty version of the flu with no vaccine (yet).

[threebag]

No, nothing at all, just the last two weeks they’ve been contagious

[Easy 6]

There’s a confirmed case in Chicago, because of course there is

Digging my bunker as we speak...

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Saw a Chinese woman wearing a face mask walking into Lowes. I made sure I didn't touch anything where she went.

Yet everything in Lowes was shipped from China.

Fail!LMAO

Ho Le Shit

[TwistedChief]

You can get it all the same ways that you get the regular flu.

And you should be okay to roll around with dead bodies provided the person has been dead for a couple days. So your hobby doesn't need to end here.

[TLO]

No, nothing at all, just the last two weeks they’ve been contagious

In the 5 confirmed cases in the US, it doesn't appear they've passed it along to anyone.

Or if they did the symptoms were so mild they never reported it.

No, it isn’t. It is virus related to the cold virus. Antibiotics won’t do shit for it.

wasn't that a Phil Collins song?

Not uncommon for people from Asia to do this as a preventative measure.

[Shiver Me Timbers]

and in Muslim countries them women cover the whole head.
no wonder their womenz never get the flu

[BucEyedPea]

Ya' know what, now that you said that, I have seen more Asians, in particular Chinese-types wearing them.

[BucEyedPea]

No, it isn’t. It is virus related to the cold virus. Antibiotics won’t do shit for it.

Nothing gets rid of a virus. I think they have some drugs for it but they're not very effective. At least, that's what I've read.

[BucEyedPea]

Fail!LMAO

Probably true. Perhaps earlier before this outbreak and not from Wuhan. I still avoided her though.

[BucEyedPea]

What I've read is that if it's on something it can last awhile. Wear gloves everywhere and don't touch your face with them. :jester: Or you can do things to boost your immunity.

[patteeu]

Time to impose a travel ban on Kansas.

[Eleazar]

Underrated comment is underrated.

Thank you. I left the obvious stupidity of using anti-botics on a viral illness for someone else to handle. :D

[BWillie]

I am now watching Contagion to scare myself silly.

It's transmitted on poker chips and computer keyboards.
