My guess is they set up some sort of negative pressure area in part of the aircraft. No idea how to do it for biohazards but I can get an asbestos containment chamber up and running in 2 hours.
It's just a frame, plastic sheet, duct tape and a couple HEPA-filtered exhaust fans.

Interesting comments regardin fatality rates and infection rates in the news today:
The 1918 flu pandemic was pretty bad, so those words aren't terribly comforting, but healthcare/prevention and vaccines have come a long way in 100 years. |

If you look at the charts ever since the 15k jump in one day due to a change methodology, the infections per day are rounding down. That is a great sign.
But, if you go back in history the Spaish flu came on strong the second year and that when most deaths occurred. We luckily have modern medicine and might be able to develope vaccines or treatments by next fall.

Understood but, my point was, that was not (as reported) done.

While vaccines will (no doubt) be developed, I suggest that any bodies be incinerated immediately upon death. May sound cold but, I'm not sure we know enough about this virus to be taking any chances.

That, is right along the lines of what some people really believe. Fortunately, these same people aren't in charge of anything and hopefully they were spayed and neutered early in their lives.

Latest report is that new cases are over 75000, and deaths are over 2000. Right now it is not increasing exponentially, which is great news. But, it is disheartening or maybe discouraging that China is not being more open and transparent.

Just saw Cotton on Fox News talking about the Covid 19 virus. He is actually questioning the official line of the virus starting in the food market and has put out a hypothesis that might have actually come from the China biological research place near Wuhan. He is getting a lot of pushback, but his response is pretty measured. He is saying we just dont know and the biologists are saying it didn't come from the market. So China needs to let the WHO & the US doctors in to help figure out just how it started and where.
I also heard a commentator in the last day, I think on BBC, say that you can get re-infected after recovering, and a second infection is a bad thing because of the damage done to the body by the first infection and the drugs they used to fight the virus.
I guess to me the big problem is the lack of transparency by the Chinese government.

Speculating about this virus when the source of info is the ChiComms is an exercise in futility. Bad data should be treated as just that - bad data. No sense in trying to make sense of it.
At this point, the problem is still regional, and modern countries are taking steps to keep the problem out of their countries.
Clamp down on the southern border, keep the flight bans in place and offer them medical and research help.
The rest of us need to go about our lives.[This message has been edited by olejoedad (edited 02-18-2020).]
