I hope it's contained quickly. it appears to be a serious threat in the region.

The human toll is first and foremost, but I can't also help but think of the other creatures who will pay a price. This apparently came from eating snake meat which is common in parts of China, snake is a good source of protein. Eating dog is also common in some of these parts, with snake off the menu, the dog farms will increase their number of animals to meet increased demand.

W/ 20 more suspected in several states, as per Wapo.

This might be a big deal. Sure glad we have steady leadership from the White House. (:rolleyes)

Can epidemiologists or public health professionals trust the reported numbers from China?

Is anyone familiar with the reporting protocols?

1 billion plus in much closer proximity to each other.

I think my if/when is much more when than if.
