[Anonymous]

Does anybody know that 21 students from the same region of Wuhan coronavirus joining Long Fellow Tomorrow for their exchange program tomorrow?

The students just arrived today and will immediately join the other students at Long Fellow tomorrow without any quarantine time. Parents expressed server concern on this to Long Fellow but everything is still moving as planned. All students came from the same province where the Wuhan coronavirus is having the outbreak. This new disease has a very long period of incubation without any symptom.

If they are traveling right now, they've been screened leaving Wuhan.

There is a very long incubation period for this virus. Even some people are infected at the beginning without a fever. This is a serious concern. And if one, even one student among them is carrying the virus. it would be a server health issue for the community.

Did you post this racist fearmongering crap on nextdoor as well, because I saw it there too.

Wuhan is a similar size to NYC. That's a lot of people. Let's say that 1000 people have gotten sick (China says 300, but let's say 1000). So .0083% have been ill with the virus.

Risks, OP. Consider reasonable risks. This is reasonable.

This seems a little over-dramatic.
