It's called an accident. Google coronavirus biowarfare labs if you don't believe me. There are two in Wuhan. Wash Times. CNBC and others have the story today. Also China Daily and the Indian papers.

You've got it backwards.

My DC was at Mason and saw the CDC there. The notice to students says what the person posted above. Possible, not yet confirmed. Don't know if this is the NoVA person being mentioned. The other two cases are in Richmond, VA.

Exactly, possible. Not confirmed. And yes, this is the NoVA person.

How do you know? I have a Mason student and have been monitoring the news.

What I'm asking is how do you know the Mason student is the Nova person. I can't find a news report saying the unconfirmed person is the Nova student who returned from Wuhan.

Why are people conflating confirmed and suspected cases? 5 confirmed in the US now: Washington state; Chicago; Orange County (2); Arizona. The ones at Mason, in Richmond etc are being looked into but no confirmation yet.

Might they be confirmed? Sure - but keep in mind that the case at Duke University, Hackensack NJ, Texas A&M etc were not confirmed . . . .

Not true. Only if you select Prime, then yes, sold out for prime delivery
but otherwise if you dont' select Prime there are tons of options..

They are $24 normally. Selecting "other options" raises the price to $40. Gouging.

No, you want a N95 mask. Most are sold out or when you try to get prime delivery they say "not available until Feb. ___". Other options means cost of shipping is added it.

Exactly right would mean that at least one of the students was infected and made someone here ill. That hasn’t happened.

I've already read that. It doesn't connect to the GMU student. The GMU student could be a fourth unconfirmed case or nothing at all.

VDH has not made a statement about a fourth unconfirmed case. Only three. If two are in central VA, and one is in Northern VA, and GMU is sending emails about a student with an unconfirmed case, then the Northern VA unconfirmed case is the Mason student, since Mason happens to be in Northern Virgnia.

If this virus has been weaponized, then it will be more contagious, not more lethal. If it is more lethal, it will burn out more quickly.

I don't think this is a weaponized virus but the long infectious incubation period is very problematic.
