Student at Texas A&M University being treated for suspected case of novel coronavirus

https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2020/01/23/brazos-county-investigating-suspected-case-of-novel-coronavirus/

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Officials at the Brazos County Health District said Thursday they are investigating a suspected case of the 2019 novel coronavirus.

The male patient, who has been identified as a student at Texas A&M University, had traveled from Wuhan, China, where the coronavirus that has made headlines in recent days first originated, officials said.

Doctors quickly related the patient’s mild symptoms to the novel coronavirus and the patient is undergoing tests to confirm the suspected diagnosis. The results of those tests will be announced to the public if the patient’s tests come back positive for the virus.

Officials said the patient is being kept isolated at home until the results of the tests are received. Health officials said it is safe for students to attend classes at Texas A&M University.

Officials are asking anyone who has traveled to Wuhan, China, and are suffering flu-like symptoms to call the Brazos County Health Department at 979-361-4440.

Administration to give Senate briefing on coronavirus
By Nathaniel Weixel - 01/23/20 06:40 PM EST

Senators are set to hear from top federal health officials Friday regarding the outbreak of the new coronavirus originating in China.

The administration’s briefing will be jointly hosted by the Senate Health and Foreign Relations committees, the panels said in a joint statement on Thursday.

"The novel coronavirus is an emerging public health threat. Senators will have the opportunity to hear directly from senior government health officials regarding what we know about the virus so far, and how our country is prepared to respond as the situation develops," Health Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and ranking member Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said.

Earlier Thursday, Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.), ranking member on the Foreign Relations Committee, asked the departments of Health and Human Services and State for answers on their responses to the virus, which was officially detected in the United States for the first time last week, after infecting more than 500 people in China and killing at least 17.

The risk to the broader American public is considered low, but the situation is still evolving.

You would think that someone might just think: "hmmm, is it really a good idea to eat bats?" But, I guess not.

The Chinese are never honest about their internal problems. We have no way of knowing what the true story is.

And many Americans eat what they eat. I vaguely recall a fairly recent story about ### jillion pounds of Chinese rat meat labeled as chicken tenders being intercepted somewhere.

Remember when American pets were dying from contaminated Chinese dog food. Don't feed your babies anything not made in the USA. And wasn't there a problem with toothpaste?

China virus death toll mounts to 25, infections spread

https://www.oann.com/china-locks-down-epicenter-of-virus-outbreak-nearly-600-infected/

January 24, 2020

BEIJING (Reuters) – A new coronavirus has killed 25 people in China and infected more than 800, the government said on Friday, as the World Health Organization declared it an emergency but stopped short of declaring the epidemic of international concern.

China’s National Health Commission said 830 cases had been confirmed so far and 25 people had died as of Thursday. Most of the cases are in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, where the virus is believed to have originated late last year.

Non-fatal cases have been found in at least seven other countries.

Health officials fear the transmission rate could accelerate as hundreds of millions of Chinese travel at home and abroad during week-long holidays for the Lunar New Year, which begins on Saturday.

Nonetheless, it was a “bit too early” to consider the outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” WHO Emergency Committee panel chair Didier Houssin said after the body met in Geneva. Such a designation would have required countries to step up the international response.

“Make no mistake, though, this is an emergency in China,” said WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
