Health officials say the CDC is conducting screening for those landing at one of 11 U.S. airports from China. From there, if a patient shows no symptoms they are self-quarantined at home for self-monitoring with public health supervision.
so no symptoms no quarantine

Thanks @aquarian1 for the thread. Means some real outcome on the worldwide markets and the countries. Some thoughts about an upcoming recession - especially with the burning acceleration of Corona by today - you may read here:
I will check out your link.
The coming recession could be awful - far worst than the great depression.
In the Spanish flu video one of the keys was that the first version of the flu wasn't that bad killed a few in Kansas. But the virus mutated. The American soldiers brought it over to Europe and it spread and mutated. Then when it returned to the USA it was much much worse.
It the trenches it killed more soldiers than the enemy and then when it returned it was very deadly

This is live counter. Numbers are from sources like WHO, so they are very under-representative of the true story. But its a good indicator of where we are at in terms of spread and its conversion into Pandemic from Epidemic status.
It was around 30k in first week of Feb, around 60 ke on around 14th feb and now its touch short of 80k. Just yesterday morning it was around 78, 800/-, now that number is about 650/- up.
This is very serious trend in rise, there is false sense of security within communities due to low casualty rate against infected compared to SARS but like I said, real numbers are not public so relying on that is not a good idea. Also, we are in phase where its not just spreading from ground zero, there are cases coming to light which have no history of traveling to China or getting in contact with already established carriers, means there is tendency of secondary or dormant spread present.
This is only going to get worse, please take care and adhere to needed precautions.
