UPDATED: Airlines canceling China flights over Wuhan coronavirus outbreak

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.
