    I'd probably steer clear of major airports from China. But a Chinese restaurant somewhere in America? .....naw, that shouldn't be a problem.

    The problem is the Supply Chain of food, most from China directly

    it's not limited to 'chinese restaurants', they've been allowed to process our chicken and send it back to the usa way back in 2013 (another dem disaster)... worse offender is tyson whom were part of smithfield when the chinese bought the company...

    fyi, processed and cooked foods are not required to have 'origin' labels...

    My understanding is that the spread and all efforts to stop it involve restricting human movement. No mention of products. One theory is that it started with snakes at a market in Wuhan China.

    If you go to a Chinese restaurant, just don't order the bat soup.

    We haven't eaten Chinese since they poisoned the dog food with formaldehyde and killed so many American pets. That's been quite awhile.

    I answered "of course nof problem" but I just don't appreciate chinese food. Too fat.

    Vietnamese and Japanese food is more interesting.

    It is silly in retrospect. However, I'm currently at MRONN training in Southern Virginia. The Chinese food restaurant (my FAVORITE chinese food place ever. Go here every day I can) has issued warnings via leaflets on the door and the front counter for insurance purposes. I'll take a pic on Monday and upload

    Of course a rat soup with testy cockroaches is more delish.

    I wouldn't be afraid. My favorite Chinese restaurant is Panda Express. I'm sure the ingredients for their food comes from within the USA.

    At this point, a little context might be helpful.

    the corona virus is killed at 140 degrees, chicken is usually cooked to an internal temp of 165, well above killing temp for most all pathogens except botulism

    Maybe a dip in the hot tub would be a reasonable response?

    What if a serious illness occured in Mexico? Would that keep us from eating in local Mexican resturants? Probably not.

    ppl should be more worried about flu then coronavirus. each year flu kill about 20-60k American. from last oct to now, 7000 American already died from flu, and we are not even at peak flu season yet.

    I would not worry about eating Chinese food in Colorado... honestly, I would not. But I'm taking the Coronavirus very seriously and I just bought a large supply of special disinfectant wiping tissues. The Chinese restaurant I always go to has been in business here for over 35 years... and all the customers you ever see there are WHITE people....

    I used to always eat out. But for the last year and a half, I've learned to like my own cooking. I'm saving lots of money too.
