Hong Kong Activates "Serious Response" As Chinese Mystery Illness Prompts Hospital Lockdown
https://www.zerohedge.com/health/hong-k ... l-lockdown
Authorities in Hong Kong have activated a recently created "serious response" threat level Saturday as a mysterious SARS-like respiratory illness begins to spread throughout central China, according to AP.
While just 44 people have been admitted to the hospital with the unidentified virus - eleven of them in serious condition, authorities in Wuhan, China have put 121 people under observation who have been in close contact with the infected. Five cases, meanwhile, have been reported in Shanghai - around 570 miles north of Hong Kong.

Hmmm anyone know if the latest flu and pneumonia vaccines provide any protection?
HK and Singapore are key air terminals with literally 10s of thousands of people flying worldwide. The fact it showed up in Singapore means Dubai, London, Beijing, LAX & NYC are likely to see it also.
