    "SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Schools were shuttered, churches told worshipers to stay away and some mass gatherings were banned as cases of a new virus swelled Friday in South Korea, the newest front in a widening global outbreak.

    The country said two people have died and 204 have been infected with the virus, quadruple the number of cases it had two days earlier, as a crisis centered in China has begun strongly reverberating elsewhere.

    The multiplying caseload in South Korea showed the ease with which the illness can spread. Though initial infections were linked to China, new ones have not involved international travel."

    which do you believe?

    it has arrived here as well.
    some say it will be worse than the 1918 Influenza pandemic which killed about 700,000 Americans and 50 million people globally.

    Could this be the beginning of those birth pangs that will unleash the 4 horseman right before coming of Christ?

    I reckon all those people who don’t believe in the Living God will be praying to God that these times pass if this Chinese virus spirals out of control...

    Two out of thirteen newly infected in Iran have died, and a physician has been infected.

    WHO say they are worried that some have been infected who don't have any obvious contact with those who have the virus.

    The rumor mill has it that the virus can live for several days on the surfaces of things touched by those infected - e.g. money, cell phones, snail mail.

    Simultaneous events are repeated.

    ". . . For the great day of his wrath is come; . . ." Revelation 6:17.

    ". . . thy wrath is come, . . ." Revelation 11:18.

    ". . . of the fierceness of his wrath. . . ." Revelation 16:19.
    (v.15 ". . . Behold, I come as a thief. . . . -")

    ". . . And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. . . ." Revelation 19:15.

    Death rate though is still low, people can live with this, it is not a single plague in Revelation that kills a third of mankind. it could even be said this virus is not one of the end time plagues, just a precursor disease, as was the black death.

    Revelation 9:18
    By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.

    Revelation 9:20
    But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.

    Revelation 11:6
    These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.

    Revelation 15:1
    [ Prelude to the Bowl Judgments ] Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete.

    Revelation 15:6
    And out of the temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, clothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands.

    the virus is communicable asymptomatic for two weeks BEFORE symptoms appear.

    supposedly 5 million people left the Wuhan area for the Chinese new year 2 weeks BEFORE the first victims fell sick.

    many of the travelers were international.

    Looks like it has gotten into Europe...."Ghost towns: Coronavirus closes parts of Italy...Italy is battling to contain Europe's first major outbreak of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus with 152 cases confirmed - the largest number outside Asia, where the disease originated....

    On Sunday evening, Austria halted all trains from Italy due to suspicions that a train on the southern border contained two infected passengers

    The train that concerned authorities was carrying about 300 passengers from Venice to the German city of Munich along the frequently congested Brenner Pass."
