So far this has been a whiff for people that don't have fucked up urban Chinese lungs but I hope it kills most of the Arabian peninsula somehow.

If I thought the Commies could accomplish something like making a virus then yes I could see that being a thing, but the Communists are so terrible at everything if they tried to make a Super-Virus they would accidentally make a virus that grants immortality and then destroy by accident. I don't think the virus came from Eating Habits..but the general health situation in the backwater areas of China sure as hell didn't help this situation out at all.

Eh. The racism thing... it's about the economy.
There's a reason these stories are out in front of coverage of the actual affects of the virus. They're trying to stop financial damage, everyone remembers what SARS did to the economy. China's economy is not exactly strong right now, we're getting to see the awesome power of a global PR campaign at work. Keep everyone focused on each other and maybe investor panic won't set it. Oh, and everyone say you have grandparents in Wuhan who say everything is fine.
The Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges are closed, they will reopen next Monday. China's saying it's because the Lunar New Year break was extended, which is code for let's stop a sell off. Stocks in Hong Kong (the financial DMZ between the East and the West) are down.

Looks like they’re actually wearing gloves too! It blows my mind that people in China handle raw wildlife meat without gloves. Without even considering the safety of buyers, it makes no sense to me why someone wouldn’t want to prevent exposure to whatever nasty shit might be on wild animals.View attachment 1120925

Chinese pharmacy to pay $430,000 fine after it hikes face mask price by SIX TIMES as coronavirus spread overshadows SARS
A drug store in Beijing will have to pay a hefty fine after it apparently tried to cash in on the coronavirus outbreak, hiking the price of an essential protective mask by about six times, China’s market watchdog has said.

Hi all, bit of an update on the SEA side.
Went to the mall opposite the Singaporean border today to catch up with my ex-colleagues. Found a shitton of people wearing surgical masks and about 3 people with the 3M N95's. Well, at least it's a placebo that helps prevent you spraying your snot everywhere...
And since I was next to the border, I decided to check out the Immigration situation. Say what you want about Singapore having an authoritarian streak, but they get shit done real quick. Personnel around all potential exits with body temperature sensor guns and all. Guess they got spooked pretty bad by 2003 SARS.
now if only another country with a bit of an authoritarian streak could have half the efficiency of Singapore in damage control.....
EDIT: Typos.

No. I don’t believe it was deliberately released to do that. Has it been released? Maybe, it’s not possible to say right now. Is it natural? Very possible, these viruses do emerge like this. Is it man made? Also possible, the fact it is contagious before symptoms is very unusual.
if I had to put money on a scenario, it would be this:
SARS and MERS happen
Governments request study of the Coronaviridae family
Labs obtain samples from patients and wild trapping of animals
This virus is found to be interesting
Various labs share samples
fuck up event.
Release
Infection of animal or person at seafood market
Amplification
Spread
the market itself was smothered in virus so it has a big part to play here. Whether it’s an an animal coming in from the wild and infecting everything or a person infected first, the market seems to have been the focus of intense spread. It is of course possible that this virus is natural and wild, that a sample was in the lab because it had been flagged as interesting AND also that it came separately in the market via the wildlife trade.
What all this should show is is that these viruses have that deniability about them. Let’s say a sample is found in that lab. The CCP response can be ‘well yes we have been collecting viruses after the SARS a outbreak and this is another one circulating in the wild.’ Without a paper trail or something indisputable in the sequence, how could you prove otherwise? You could suspect it had been altered, but if you’re finding it’s a mix of existing sequences how could you prove it?
They do not know what they’re doing. Kid and entire family should be home for incubation period plus. Rate me MOTI but that is absolute fucking insanity.

Those gloves are just there for the foreign press. Guarantee that Jimmy the Chink on the Street Corner is going to put down the clippers he's using to remove bunions from Granny's feet, wipe his bloody and pus covered hands off on his pants, then go fondle chicken, cat, and random horse meat in the open air butchery until he picks a good one to take home right as soon as the foreign press is gone.

I can't help but imagine they are just dumping all that contraband without much consideration for where they're throwing it. As well-meaning as this effort is, for some reason I don't trust the administration to not make careless mistakes in regards to the environment.
The massive garbage bin alone -if it isn't an incinerator - looks ready to give birth to an even more hideous pathogen than the likes the world has ever witnessed (which only needs one enterprising scavenger to go on a spelunking trip to escape), and I'm not sure if those live animals are being released where they belong. What do they do with the exotic critters that don't belong in China? Will this just give rise to hordes of invasive species? I can't bring myself to believe this will be a well thought-out endeavor.

About the kid that's still going to kindergarten even though it's dad has the virus:
www.tagesschau.de
What the 'specialist' says about that:
"They're observing [the kids and people in general who were in contact with the guy who has it] instead of testing right now. And that's the case with the child, too. [...] People who were in contact with the first infected guy will only be tested [for the virus] after showing first symptoms of an infection."
Great idea! Especially since we already know that people are contagious BEFORE showing symptoms.
Did you guys hear that? Yeah, that was me facepalming.

Interesting article on Bloomberg today regarding the issue of the incubation period and the 10 year old boy who was infectious during the incubation period. It is vague on the details but seems to imply that perhaps rather than not showing symptoms, that for healthy infants and perhaps adults that the symptoms are so mild they are undetectable except through exceptional diagnostic means such as swabbing.
It would imply we likely have tens of thousands of cases, but that most are having such mild symptoms that they are not being tested.
It also may indicate the virus is gaining strength to infect; but perhaps is also mutating to be less severe, thus the mortality rate at this time may be as low as 0.5%. Right now mortality rate percentages are based on known cases but it would seem that only 1 in 5 cases are likely known about, thus fatalities are always known because they leave bodies.
I'd suggest that we likely are going to see a mortality rate ending up (assuming no serious mutations), of around 0.5% - 1.5%. But a probable spread to millions.
But until the infectious nature of the incubation period is really understood to be true or not, I'd suggest that we likely we will not see a global pandemic - perhaps a technical one, but unlikely to be global.
But if we do, in a weird twist, it will be the children that will become the super-spreaders and grandpa and grandma will pay the price.

Britain finally banned air travel. The White House is still thinking about it.
The thing about this virus, it's already travelled. Quarantine measures are going to need to be a little more draconian to be effective. Major cities in the US have some pretty extreme plans they can put in place, but there's a political cost to do so. No one wants to jump the gun prematurely, but you will see some Gestapo-level shit if it actually happens.
Irony of ironies, 3M laid off about 1,500 people this week amidst a global manufacturing shortage. They're going to need to hire twice that just to produce masks. Even if the virus peters out and no new cases happen, cities will be stocking up on these going forward. Quietly.
That sounds a lot like the first wave of the Spanish Flu.
It swept through and wasn't that bad. The second wave, a slightly mutated version, did the damage.
Pandemics have been part of the human experience since we walked upright. The real drama here is the idea that we may have conquered a plague before it started. People have made that claim before, it's dangerous to think that way.

So looks like the 2019-nCoV coronavirus is contagious before symptoms show after all.

Peru reportedly had 4 suspected cases right now, three Chinese citizens and one Peruvian translator.
One of the Chinese dudes presented symptoms in Jan 3, when he entered the hospital and he's now in good state and recovering. The other three presented symptoms by the middle of the month, and are also stable and under control atm. The four of them are in isolation but coronavirus has been allegedly ruled out although it's not yet officially confirmed. They are still being kept in the hospital as a precaution.
