My client issued a statement today that any of their employees returning from that area (mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, are to stay home for 2 weeks; work from home.

Ontario is not exactly in the desert. It's in a rather densely populated area between LA and San Bernardino/Riverside. It would be better if they were landing in the desert.On a related note the American evacuees from Wuhan were originally going to go to SFO, then to LAX and now they're headed for Ontario Airport out in the desert. That tells me that there's a concern about what they might be bringing with them.

This is a pretty standard Chinese government reaction. They've shut down whole provinces before with little warning and no regards for the consequences, political or economical. Reputation and appearances mean everything.
If anything, the fatality rate that has been hovering around 2-4% is a little high. I'd imagine that that rate is made up of people that are sick enough to go to the hospital. The majority of those affected, probably get a little sick, feel crappy for a few days, then get better, and are never counted in the statistics.
This,
I wonder about outside factors about health conditions prior to and those with pre-existing. Factor in life style choices and living conditions if they haven't that would account for more of a mortality than just the virus itself which makes you feel poopy.
And i dont trust what the chinese government says about whats happening there either.
I'm no statistician, but those trend lines don't look good.
So... Has everyone gotten their flu shot?
Now the American Wuhan evacuees are heading to March Air Reserve Base near Riverside, California.
Makes sense. They would have the facilities to house them, as well as provide medical care if needed, during quarantine. Better than keeping them cooped up in a hangar at a civilian airport.Now the American Wuhan evacuees are heading to March Air Reserve Base near Riverside, California. Maybe significant, maybe not.

Just a thought.
Lets say during SARS there were 10,000 infected and 1,000 died. That's 10% dead. [Not real numbers. Just easy for my math example]. Consider the deaths to infection ratio is tabulated in hind sight. After the fact.
Now lets say it takes four days on average from the time symptoms show. Until you die from this new virus.
You don't divide 8,000 infected today. Into 180 dead today. Those 180 were infected, and destined to die four day ago.
You divide todays deaths by the number infected something like four days ago. Say 1,000-2,000?
That 180 dead today. Could be 10% or more? Depending on a bunch of variables. [ Like the stage the patient tested positive for the virus. Regardless of symptoms or not ].
It's hard to tell at present. But after all is said and done. We will easily be able to do the math.
As of now? Comparing the death rate from the SARS or any other past outbreak. To this still unfolding outbreak is not apples to apples.
