UPDATED: Airlines canceling China flights over Wuhan coronavirus outbreak

As we've been blogging here at Boing Boing, the Wuhan coronavirus continues to spread, and airlines have begun suspending flights to and from China, where most confirmed cases are located.

As of Friday, 11AM Eastern time, the Novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV outbreak has killed more than 200 people and infected an estimated 10,000.

On Friday, the U.S. issued a travel warning telling Americans to stay out of China.

The Chinese government replied by calling the U.S. 'mean' for the travel advisory.

Delta today suspended ALL US-CHINA FLIGHTS.

Commercial pilots, flight attendants, and other airline workers are demanding that more airlines shut down traffic to and from mainland China.
