However this would be a good excuse to build a wall around San Francisco.
The virus isn't in San Francisco. But I'm you want to keep SF safe. Thanks for caring.

It's Heeeeere!
First case of transmission in the US not from someone that has traveled. This means that it's already here and about to blow up. Incubation is most likely longer than 2 weeks. This is in Solano County, part of the SF Bay area and the location of Travis AFB is. This is the AF base where they quarantined all those people from China then let hem go after 2 weeks. "They say" it's unrelated to those people, but they better hope that is it. The best case scenario is that one of those people from China that were released is responsible, because if it's not one of them, then it's about to get real bad real fast!

Solano is in Bay Area? Doesn’t feel like it should be considered Bay Area.
Why all the overhyped about this virus? There have been people who had it, went to hospital, was cured, released back in the wild. Why is everyone worrying so much?

It doesn't matter you feel about it, there are official definitions.

So now this thread is a geography debate?

Here we go, anyone who doesn't believe the Chinese government is prejudiced against the Chinese, as if the Great Chinese Famine, etc, never happened, and China didn't lie about then and now. Bad Wigins always shows up on threads like he's a member of the Plunge Protection Team, and Letsrun is a major finance news site, and he's trying to foil stock manipulation attempts of any doubting any official source ever.

China stopped reporting new totals because they're afraid of foreign investors/companies pulling out...

Anyone who is not prejudiced against China lacks compassion and has no concern for his fellow human. Not worthy of respect in my eyes.
I should point out that this is the idiot who literally said "its over" in a post a couple weeks ago.
If you're downplaying the potential danger, saying "relax 98% of people are going to be fine", or barking about how only the elderly are at risk then you are truly a sociopath. Seriously, f*** you you're a snake oil salesman. Take a good hard look at what you're saying. Criminally insane.
Where are those New Vaporflies being manufactured? How long can the virus live if its on product from China, South Korea, etc?
That's right, hammer the trials, dampen your immune system, and wait for the secret bat cave bug to do its work.
" Oh Garcon, I'd like my bat steak medium rare. "
" yeah, give me some sweet and sour bat balls, and a slice of pangolin pie. "
I think we need a little perspective here. So far in the 2019-2020 flu season (Oct 1 through Feb 15), there have been 280,000-500,000 hospitalizations and 14,000-41,000 deaths in the USA due to flu, according to the CDC.
Yes, Covid 19 is a big deal and worse when you catch it than the flu, but flu season will be over in a month in the Southern US and a month and a half or so in the Northern states.
Total US deaths will probably be less than a typical Chicago gunshot weekend.
The media has a vested interest in overhyping Covid 19 because their ratings have been tanking and sensationalism generates more viewers and more revenue.
Unlike China, the US is prepared and our population is not packed together like sardines.
Frankly, I don't believe the official Chinese government story about this being bats and a wet market. I think it's a weaponized virus that escaped from their bio lab. Fortunately, in addition to being incompetent enough to allow it to escape, they were also too incompetent to make it very deadly. I'm guessing that heads will roll at the bio lab, assuming they aren't already dead.
CDC:
"Investigators determined that a shipment of animals from Ghana, imported to Texas on April 9, 2003, introduced monkeypox virus from the West African genetic group (clade) into the United States. The shipment contained approximately 800 small mammals representing nine different species, including six genera of African rodents. These rodents included rope squirrels (Funiscuirus sp.), tree squirrels (Heliosciurus sp.), African giant pouched rats (Cricetomys sp.), brush-tailed porcupines (Atherurus sp.), dormice (Graphiurus sp.), and striped mice (Lemniscomys sp.). CDC laboratory testing using PCR and virus isolation demonstrated that two African giant pouched rats, nine dormice, and three rope squirrels were infected with monkeypox virus. After importation into the United States some of the infected animals were housed in close proximity to prairie dogs at the facilities of an Illinois animal vendor. These prairie dogs were sold as pets prior to their developing signs of infection.
How was monkeypox virus transmitted to humans?
All people infected with monkeypox became ill after having contact with infected prairie dogs purchased as pets"
