Level 4: Do not travel to Hubei province, China due to novel coronavirus first identified in Wuhan, China:
There is an ongoing outbreak of pneumonia first identified in Wuhan, China, caused by a novel (new) coronavirus. In an effort to contain the novel coronavirus, the Chinese authorities have suspended air and rail travel in the area around Wuhan. On January 23, 2020, the Department of State ordered the departure of all non-emergency U.S. personnel and their family members. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Hubei province.
Chinese authorities have imposed strict travel restrictions in the area around Wuhan. Travelers should be aware that the Chinese government could prevent them from entering or exiting parts of Hubei province. Travelers should be prepared for travel restrictions to be put into effect with little or no advance notice.
UPDATE (1/24 at 9:44 p. m. ) A Tennessee Tech student recently isolated for possible coronavirus has tested negative, the Tennessee Department of Health confirmed Friday night. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention alerted state health officials of the negative results. The university was notified of the negative test late Friday. “We are so glad to hear this student is on the road to recovery,” said Tennessee Tech President Phil Oldham.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) -- A student at Tennessee Tech University is being tested for possible infection with Coronavirus, school officials tell FOX 17 News.
According to the university, health providers quickly recognized that the student met the criteria for Coronavirus due to mild symptoms and his recent travel history, but the illness has not been confirmed.
The student is under isolation while precautionary testing is being conducted. As this happens, the university says they continue to stay in close communication with the Tennessee Department of Health.
That video raises serious concerns. Sounds like the way the 1917 flu suddenly affected people. I wonder if the pneumonia is caused by overreaction of the immune response like we see in novel flu strains. Low vitamin D seem to be linked with immune response causing severe pneumonia.

With so many Chinese nationals in our universities, those could be problem areas due to the density of students in close quarters.
There is no evidence that people of any particular nationality are more or less susceptible to this new coronavirus. At this time, the most significant factor associated with being infected with this coronavirus is having traveled to or from Wuhan or have been in contact with sick people who have traveled to or from Hubei Province.

hi - hope everyone is doing well.. my understanding, nCoV uses the ACE2 receptors. the sambucol that old folks all know and love, alters the glycoproteins in the rbd, and keeps influenza from entering the cells. now, the receptors of interest for flu are sialic acid alpha 2.3 and 2.6. does anyone know, or have a wag if the glycoprotein alteration would likewise affect nCoV entering the cells lining the airway as it does with flu?

NL63 uses same receptor for entry as SARS and likely pHCoV-2019:

actually, one more note... folks discuss airborne transmission.. CoV is roughly the size of influenza, 80nm or a little bit more. i've not seen it anywhere, but on the flu side the study below is of interest for aerosol transmission, specifically the importance of keeping indoor RH above 40% to head off formation of droplet nuclei (vs large droplet). having flu floating in dry still air for up to 24 hrs is concerning. and on the ppe side, an N95 has 300nm (.3 micron) size holes.
C3jmp - perhaps it would be worthwhile to set up a discussion thread on PPE and to hive mind/ brainstorm the potential and drawbacks of various interventions. There are so many unknowns at present however, so a lot would be supposition based on SARS, MERS and common cold data.
