I used to work for a company that made poly urethane foam. It was used for a lot of things, but one was as a nose bridge pad for the N-95 face masks. I used to scan the news all the time to see if something like this was brewing so I could get ahead of the orders for our foam. We would go from 2 shipments a week, which is 160 rolls of foam 3500 meters long to as much as 8 shipments a week when something like this hit. Each N-95 mask from 3-M took 4 to 6 inches of this gray foam 1 inch wide x 0.100 thick. So you can imagine how many masks were made from each container load. Every time we had a flue outbreak my boss secretly was happy because it put millions of dollars in his pocket.

All public modes of travel in and out of Wuhan have been stopped.
For the first time I saw health authorities screening outbound travelers yesterday when going to my flight to Tokyo. All inbound international travelers are screened and always have been, but never the outbound until now. I haven't flown a domestic trip in a while.

I am seeing video from earlier today with body heat scanners as folks walk through the airport. 
I too heard that travel has been shut down, but could not confirm it.
I hope that the zombie virus soon hits. That is when the shat gets real!

That scenario has been the root of some great movies... And fear mongering by the climatetards.

Yes. If I don't, the server grinds to a halt due to thousands and thousands of fake page requests.

I figured there was a good reason. Just didn't affect me until the recent change. I've always set my VPN to Taiwan as it's the closest location outside the Great Firewall. Now that is blocked as well as Thailand and Korea and Japan. Now I just set my VPN to Los Angeles and take whatever speed I can get.
As far as this virus is concerned everyone in China is laser focused on protecting themselves. Apparently an estimated 300k people fled Wuhan before it was closed for fear of being walled in with the virus. Uh oh.

I've seen that movie. Contaminated escapees are never a good thing.

Maybe this is common knowledge that I am lacking, but why does it always seem that these diseases start in China?
