Quote: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.

College campus

"Corona" virus

Checks out.

Not worried until it becomes Budweiservirus

This virus is another example of the masses being whipped into a panic by the fake news media. By the time the real viral threat hits, nobody is going to take it seriously.

we'll have to disagree on this one....

humans are the best incubator on the planet....and we move from point to point en masse...

the young and the old are at risk moreso than any other in my lifetime...

when those in the know tell you 1+ yrs. for a vaccine at best....yeah, that's a pickle when transmitted the way this one is....

talk about shutting down an economy in a instant......

From the same article:

Quote:"This patient did travel to the area of concern in China within the last 14 days and thankfully had mild upper respiratory symptoms, and he was improving. I believe the time the patient presented at the emergency department, it was more out of concern," said Dr. Eric Wilke with the Brazos County Health Department.

I wonder how long it takes to get the test results back?
