Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

It will be if anthrax was used. Spores can survive in soil for a very long time - at least fifty years has been confirmed but very probably longer. It’s very hard to decontaminate an area properly (see operation dark harvest and Eilean Ghruinneard off the Scottish coast

everyone has a bio weapon program (on the quiet) because they know that everyone else does and even though your points are correct and using one is pointless , governments still want the defence against it. And of course a defensive program never stays defensive.

or just bugs that aren’t pathogenic per se, but are unfamiliar. Just being exposed to a different microbial flora can give many people the shits.
Looks like China is really panicking on this one, which is interesting because the usual response is denial. I wonder if that’s just a consequence of more internet phone enabled citizens or a marker of real panic?
As I said before, any one of these viruses that emerge has the potential to be bad news or just emerge and fizzle out. This one doesn’t look so bad yet, less lethal than sars but more transmission. There’s a particularly nasty respiratory virus going around where I am at the moment, with the same symptoms (high rate of pneumonia complications.) it’s very hard to distinguish the usual flux of stuff that circulates this time of year from a new virus without a testing program.
Its hard to k now cause China is known for lying and hiding information, the CDC even reported they are not getting enough info from China.
 
On Twitter, some people are reporting that seemingly healthy people are collapsing before they even show any symptoms. Can't tell if it's legit or a hoax, but at the very least it means people are becoming even more scared and paranoid due to those reports.

This is both the most fun and horrifying thread I've come across in recent weeks. It is like watching those videos of nuclear bombs going off for testing purposes in the 50's. Equal parts frightning and awesome and you can't just look away.

One thing that got to me out of everything in this thread was the fact that they don't wash their hands. I seriously thought that I was just being racist for thinking that people from a first world country with all their technoligy advancements and connections with the western world have never heard of a little thing called "soap" and "running water." It really was a culture shock to find out how backwards China was, not because they still believe in traditional medicine, not because they cook with oil that came from the sewers, not because they will kidnap their neighbors dog and sell it on the market as fresh meat just for a quick buck, not even because they have a culture of swindling literaly every one around them so that they themselves can get ahead, but that they can't spend 30 seconds to properly wash their hands after they just took a shit or touched trash.

Maybe I'm the dumb one.

That is a phenomenally steep incline and thats just the numbers they're willing to reveal.
 
Yeah, the list of pajeet pandemics is surprisingly short. "Yeah, no, we don't go for that high level of hygiene they practice in China."

They had one of the last gasps for smallpox in the 70s, and then it's just a few bad flu years. It's astonishing. Bathing in all the dead bodies and feces in the Ganges is magic or something. You'd think they'd be a disease factory like China, but no.
Could be that all the wildlife eats the dead bodies in the river, which then gives them a taste for human flesh and creates maneaters. If you look at maneaters on wikipedia most of them are in India. There was this badass British guy who went around killing tons of them around the early 20th century.
Maybe India just hasn't had as many pandemics because they've fully embraced Papa Nurgle's gift, and are thus immune to it. Is this how they become a superpower IN 2020? Everyone else is dead, so they win by default?
i feel like this is North Korea’s plan. We’re all dead and Kim Jung-Un rules what’s left of the world because he was smart enough to seal their borders.

You know what's depressing to think about? This whole thing is probably in a large part Mao's fault. He was the one who pushed "traditional" Chinese medicine on the populace as propaganda (he used actual medication on himself, naturally), his hairbrained utopian schemes utterly destroyed social trust and any semblance of manners inside China, and of course he left the CCP behind to blight the world in his place.

Motherfucker has been dead since 1976 and he's still adding to his bodycount.
 
On Twitter, some people are reporting that seemingly healthy people are collapsing on the streets (this part is old I know) before they even show any symptoms (this is new). Can't tell if it's legit or a hoax, but at the very least it means people are becoming even more scared and paranoid due to those reports.

I remember reading about the Spanish Flu (I think it was in the book The Coming Plague but not sure) and young adults who felt fine in the morning, got on the subway at Bay Ridge (or Coney Island) to go to work were dead by the time the train arrived in Times Square from asphyxiation as their lungs had filled up with fluid during the nearly hour long ride.

The Spanish Flu hit the world during WWI, a time without antibiotics and advanced medicine. Either China is a country living in pre-20th century conditions (due to stupidity and superstition) which makes it this virus deadly for the Chinese but not everyone else or this is a new and terrible modern plague.

On Twitter, some people are reporting that seemingly healthy people are collapsing on the streets (old news) without even showing any symptoms(this is new). No fever or coughing or sneezing. People just drop dead out of nowhere.

Can't tell if it's legit or a hoax, but at the very least it means people are becoming even more scared and paranoid due to those reports.

edit: or it might be people using medicine to hide their symptoms.

It's possible this could be virus-related, but I would also suspect hysteria and fatigue. Chinese people are generally pretty thin and lightweight. As the chad bikers have said before, many Chinese people report feeling symptoms of fatigue and lethargy after a single missed meal. Their metabolisms work fast, and they don't eat the same kind of food westerners eat. I'd imagine many of these people haven't been sleeping well and have been enduring a very high-stress environment for a while. That doesn't exactly help matters.
 
So the fourth situation report is up on the WHO website.
Things that are concerning:
It's now seven pages long and includes tables.
It says that the number of confirmed cases increased by 265 in 24 hours.
Things which are not concerning:
The cases confirmed outside of China all have been in Wuhan recently.
Report can be found here:
 
Imaging moralfagging so hard about someone exercising their God-given right to eat tasty animals.
I don't care, but I do when they get a virus and pass it onto me. Is this an alien concept?
If you want to eat bats raw, do it in a cave and die.

100 Wuhanese [?] deported from Singapore being treated in Zhejiang province, Hangzhou.

1579953736942.png

Donations. Tencent and Kuaishou donated 3 and 1 billion yuan. Alibaba 0.714 billion, douyu 100 million. Meidi donated air conditioners, Xiaomi 300k yuan worth or goods, JD 1 million masks and 60k goods, lenovo IT shit.
Highlight: Netease donated free winter holiday homework for all the primary school kids in Wuhan... great work, do your homework little chinamen.
Hema: food
Central TV: 10 free film rights... useless
Haixin TV: Free VIP subscription
Tujia: Free housing for medical professionals.
There's also 91porn and pornhub donating free coom memberships and China's shitty torrenting client Thunder ridding the speed limit on their torrenting shit.

1579954038990.png

Complaining about CNY family gatherings, betting stay home.

1579954091406.png

Hainan Hospital, 32yo female patient spitting at medical professionals, spewing saliva on elevators, ripping masks off doctors and cursing them.
Solution, throw her off the building.

1579954253547.png

Escapees being caught and quarantined.

Updated map

1579954470792.png

More info on Hangzhou taking in people from Wuhan, 2 of which likely have the virus.

1579954534950.png

Netease keeping the winter holidays interesting with their free homework given to Wuhan kids, lol.

1579954578009.png

Cities in lockdown.
And no, Shanghai isn't in lockdown, that's a rumour. They did block 2 or 3 streets.

1579954623909.png

Medicine store in Fengtai of Beijing selling 10 masks for 850 yuan, caught and fined.

1579954677100.png

Hubei politicians back from their fun?

1579954853898.png
1579954860034.png

PLA is joining forces to fight the virus. Weibo user complaining about the condition and use of crammed vehicles.

1579955027521.png

Central government urging citizens to voice concerns online and expose politicians that try to hide the severity of the virus. Once verified, the people in question will be punished.
Stuff about punishing people is likely fake, CCP aren't stupid. They won't fuel a revolution like that.
1579955194509.png

Hubei governor lying about province's inventory.
There's a lot more stuff in the article such as people commenting on the interview as CCTV allowed it and various local hospitals asking and getting donations of medical supplies.

1579955366486.png
1579955377564.png

Fake stuff being spread. China has laws against spreading fake information that end up causing societal fear. I think this was due to someone back then talking about a potential nuclear attack and how salt can be used to deter the radiation... this caused multiple places to run out of salt. How fucking stupid can people get?

1579955492100.png
1579955550120.png

Wuhan fifth hospital running out of medical supplies, in chaos with patients begging to be helped.
There's also dead bodies that aren't being sorted out properly, and medical staff has been very busy, unable to eat or rest.

1579955702260.png

According to some doctor, 25% of patients have other conditions that affect immunity system.

1579956057474.png

American citizens and embassy workers are going to be escorted out of Wuhan.

2 groups which I get most of this stuff from are now in lockdown (no one can send a message) because the person who runs the group fears spread of misinformation. It's a couple groups dedicated to some niche professional field, talking about the virus threw the topic off.

Funny shit:
1579954191573.png

Porn chatgroups talking about the virus indicates its severity.

1579954718116.png

Henan: We want to build a wall between Hubei and Henan, let Henan pay for it. Make Zhongyuan great again.

1579955917029.png

Talking about some youtuber who eats roadkill, elephant shit, snakes etc.
Claiming he will cook bats for 4 hours before consuming it.
It's meant to indicate how filthy or disease riddled the animal is.

Have a happy CNY, year of the bat.
