Does anyone have a good article talking about common silly Chinese mainlander superstitions? You hear of pretty stupid ones here and there, but an article that collects some of the stranger ones and gives some explanation as to their roots would be great.
I do know that some people around here adopted some kids from China. They talked about how the kids smelled like vinegar and when they bathed them in the hotel, the tub water became filthy. They said it looked l so they switched to a shower.
Now this could just be because they were from an orphanage but that's all that I know.
On another note, to adopt you have to give the Chinese government cash. I'm sure that and the large amount of orphaned kids would be why it is so easy to get a kid from there instead of here in the States.

From SerpentZA and Laowhy86's podcast. I can recommend SerpentZA's channel. The one thing I wanted to hear about was probably the worst part. Doctors have told SerpentZA about more dead bodies being seen, more buildings being locked down, more people being locked down, and more areas barricaded. All this on top of the quarantine. Oh, this is in areas with no reported cases.
But bats? Those little dudes were strictly staff-only; volunteers weren't even allowed in the shed where they were housed and treated. Rabies wasn't the only virus they could potentially pass along to humans, and minimizing the number of humans who had direct contact with the bats was the best way to minimize risk (and the rehab's liability, should a volunteer catch anything).
So that some Chinese actually eat bats? FUCKING MADNESS.
God, now you've got me remembering the old Rabies Kills public informaton films that were shown on the TV here in the 70s and early 80s, complete with grainy footage of writhing victims from some African shithole.. Terrorized a generation.
Bats can also carry the recently emerged Nipah virus. It's a true horror that can cause acute encephalitis, coma and death. People get it from drinking juice made from fruits infected bats have fed on. 40-75% mortality rate. There was an outbreak only a few days ago in Bangladesh. They are repositories of endless horrible diseases that jump to people. Why anyone would consume them is beyond me. How anyone even looks at the little critters and thinks they look edible is also beyond me.

Good thing too. Cleveland is almost as much of a cesspit of ass as China. God knows what the virus could do if it mixed with the Cuyahoga's toxic shit water.
Chinanet has been slow and I've been busy (being a lazy chink).
Here's the current status of Aboland:
- People potentially infected with the virus are required to pay $1000 for a ticket to Christmas Island, where illegal criminal subhumans are also housed. Our government wants citizens to be tossed in a detention centre while the Chinamen are busy pretending to have symptoms to get free money and hotel room
- Many with British Citizenry has fled to Bongstan because they have better deals, despite the Asian Rape Gangs which is likely worse than some Asian bats
- More than 4 have been infected with the virus, dunno exact number
- Councils recommend anyone who might have contacted virus carriers to quarantine themselves for 2 weeks. This is for Sydney, and it might differ but it should all be similar
- Infect Canberra with the virus, build a wall around Sydney, deny the entry to politicians, make Sydney great again.
Please note that the format is in chronological order for each day. I can't logistically break down the chronology within a day. Starting from 28th where I left off.

Set him on fire please.
Scientific knowledge is more important than masks.
Yeah I agree, such as humans are predisposed not communism.
Hubei guy escaped to Tibet, has the virus. Now quarantined.
Virus trend, #1 being Wuhan. Blue=not Hubei province

Border security stuff.
Myanmar minerals being confiscated for too much radiation.
Person with virus quarantined.
This is a mock show btw.

Eat raw mice. God's given right, right?
Huoshenshan temp hospital stuff. 66 million people watching.
Naming machinery/vehicles after weeb shit...
"Excavator-chan, forklift-chan"
They can't build a hospital without invoking severe autism.
Support local brands and snacks because they donated a ton of money and goods.
So this is worthy of a highlight.
Experts applaud the eight individuals that were arrested and questions for spreading rumours, saying they deserve the utmost respect as they have wisdom and they are people who truly care about the nation and the citizens.
Flashback: Wuhan officials decided to arrest 8 people and question them for spreading SARS-alike virus rumours, claiming what they are doing will cause panic, after less than a month, what these 8 people said turned out to be true. (They weren't put into jail, it's called "having a visit" in China and Taiwan. Yes, Taiwan does this kind of shit too under the new gov.)
So... CCTV reposted this snippet. Is this the party calling out Wuhan politicians, or trying to save them some face?
Would be great if this virus leads to more liberal speech laws and the GFW being scraped. I can dream too.
Idiot slant broadcasting his escape plan on Wechat.
Chinaman containment method.
17yo teen with mental issues dies at home alone after being quarantined by parents.
11yo son with autism quarantined by professionals.
If it's 100% clear that your child will have these serious issues, why fucking have a kid? If you do not care about others, then at least care for your own spawn you God damned fucking slant.
How to build a hospital in 7 days without being autistic?
"We can't sir".
List: Forlift-chan, little blue, "spit cement chan"
Dalian idiot fined 10,000 yuan for selling masks at massive price margins.
Libertarians will call this fascism and defend him. "Just make your own masks, go pick your own cotton like a good nigger".
Huanggang health minister being an idiot, can't answer straight questions. He's gonna probably lose his job.
Escaped by this makeshift boat, caught and sent back, lol.
This isn't Zelda.
Hangzhou corporation has staff meeting, out of 30, 11 now infected!
Funny shit:

Those who eat wild stuff
Fuck your mum

(last two syntax is reverted, it's kind of like an anastrophe in English literary devices, but I doubt most will make sense out of it, so I just put it in the correct order myself)
Shenzhen company wants workers to return, disregards State's work sanction, gets called out.
Manager goes on an autistic mantrum "does the state fucking pay you? You fucking idiot! Fuck your mum how dare you challenge me! Are you r3tarded? Managers, teach these people a lesson, if you can't do it, I'll teach you". Followed by "Yes, Zheng sir x4".
They were reported, apologised, and the guy was demoted, lol.
Wuzhong idioticy. 吳忠 not 吳中, zhong is pronounced the same way.
Guy claiming he has the virus and wants to see tits. He was questioned by police, going to be detained for 3 days for being a dumb thirsty slant.
Lol priorities, but this is funny.
He even says "you don't think I'm lying?".
And yes, I censored out the tits because there's no way I can tell the age. Go google tits if you're that pathetic.
People actually wearing a bra as a mask.
Best preventive measure of virus is to stay home and draw shit.
I'm speechless too.
(He's also a body builder)
"We'll fight the virus, we believe in the nation, we will not believe or spread rumours".
You might find this line cringe, but this 80-yo guy was one of the first ones to start assisting medical professionals when the virus began last week.
He's also a politician, so yeah he's acting like one.
Car crash, get off car add Wechat, then back on car to start the curse war.
Oh yeah, I recognize a lot of these, they're common ingredients you see in cold remedies. One time I had a cold and I tried a congee with astragalus (this is a really common "jack of all trades" ingredient you find in a lot of formulas, but especially with stuff like colds. I think it tastes pretty good), scutelleria
Thanks! A lot of these are common things you find in cold remedy formulas, especially astragalus (I used to make congee with this and it tastes pretty good), pseudostellaria is supposed to be lung health boosting and Scutellaria baicalensis(Chinese skullcap) is supposed to be an antiviral.
I also recognize Chinese licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis). No idea what it's supposed to do for health, but it tastes good in tea.
Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica, this is the one that's invasive in the U.S. and what most Americans think of as honeysuckle even though it's not our native species)
Isatis tinctoria is an indigo producing plant, known as "woad" in the West. Not really sure what it's supposed to do against Corona-chan, but the dye is beautiful.
Bupleurum is usually in flu formulas, another supposed lung health herb. Might cause liver damage, which is ironic since it's in a few liver tonic formulas.
Fascinating stuff. I won't say all TCM is bollocks. From personal experience, I've had far better success with herbal formulas to prevent coughing than modern medicine for some reason. There's this extremely disgusting abomination called this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pear-syrup_candy
It's commonly used in places such as Suzhou. The example they have on the wikipedia page looks tasty, the ones I've had makes me want to jump off a cliff. However, after eating the disgusting thing and trying to not throw up, the coughing does stop. I did throw up the first time I ate it. It's putrid and I'd rather cough my organs out to sell on the black market.
Menschen mit Coronavirus müssen in Krankenhäusern gut isoliert und versorgt werden. Doch laut Bundesärztekammer fehlen vielerorts sowohl entsprechende Räume als auch Personal. In Bayern gibt es inzwischen fünf Erkrankte.

TL;DR:
- They have a specialist talking about the hospital situation here.
- Hospitals are apparently not prepared to keep a lot of people isolated and in quarantine because we don't have enough single rooms with double door systems.
- There's not enough 'single patient boxes' in ICUs here.
- It's all the fault of the hospitals not getting enough funding.
- The expert who's talking here sees the whole situation as a 'wake up call' for hospitals to get more funding and workers (doctors/nurses)
- The expert still thinks there's no reason for panic, influenza is worse yadda yadda
- On the other hand, our federal minister of health thinks Germany's well prepared and people should stay 'watchful but relaxed'.
Yesterday I was watching a CSI Miami episode where some dumb cunt gets killed by eating lettuce apparently infected with E.Coli, this made me remember the whole fuzz about "Biosludge". To be brief about this, basically agricultural lobbyists and the US goverment using solid biological waste from city's sewer system and selling them as "Bio-Friendly" fertilizer which contains over 80.000 different chemicals ranging from birth control shit to industrial chemicals. For anyone interested about this, look in here.
I remember a mention that large cities often "sell" their sewage to any fertilizer producers and then ship them all over the country. To give you an idea, someone buying a fertilzier bag in Texas which could end up fertilizing his garden with shit from NY or Chicago.
Wonder if this or ANY type of disease with similar characteristics could grow in any sewage of a major city and then be spread by naive people using that same shit as fertilizer.

If america is doing that, then fucking shame on america. European legislation bans any and all use of sewage for compost and with good reason, not only is it harder to compost due to varying conditions but it also contains all sort of micropollutants. If I remember correctly it was ISO14001 but I could be wrong on the number.
Now that being said, infectious outbreaks aren't an issue there, composting if done properly kills that shit real good. Still. Don't do that, dummys.

I do and what this one tells me is that it's bullshit. Or more concretely, that it's not infections being measured for corona-chan, it's detections. Anyone that's studied statistics can tell you this one. That is too fast for any virus, when you see a graph like this it means they started measuring there but this shit was in the background for weeks, maybe even months. The CCP has seriously fucked up this time and China will suffer from it, infectious diseases aren't to be trifled with.
Qantas readies crews for evacuation of Australians from China
Qantas is preparing crews across the region to launch an evacuation of hundreds of Australian citizens from the centre of the coronavirus outbreak in China.
The airline has spent the past day ramping up crews, including some based in Hong Kong, to prepare for a final departure clearance from Beijing, which the Australian government believes is imminent after more than 48 hours of negotiation.
One option is for a flight from the Chinese city of Wuhan to leave at 2:30am on Monday, giving those spread around Hubei province enough time to make their way to Wuhan airport. The Australian evacuees are then expected to travel via Darwin, Perth or Brisbane before being flown to Christmas Island detention centre for a 14-day quarantine.
Medical disaster teams have been moved to the island 2600 kilometres off the coast of Australia to prepare for the arrival of the evacuees. The team of 24 included two infectious diseases doctors, one epidemiologist, four emergency doctors and nine specialist nurses, a National Critical Care and Trauma Response Centre spokeswoman said.
More than 150 Australians in Hubei have already registered with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to be evacuated. The Australian government was as of Friday night still unsure if dual Chinese-Australian citizens would be allowed to depart, but United States authorities had secured the release of some of their dual passport holders.
That number is expected to climb over the weekend after 9776 cases were confirmed - surpassing the number of people infected with the SARS virus at the height of that pandemic in 2003. Nine cases were confirmed in Australia, four in NSW, three in Victoria and two in Queensland. Federal and state health authorities have told the public they are prepared for more and have isolated patients.
"The advice is that all nine patients are stable and well cared for," Health Minister Greg Hunt said. "The first two have been released and declared post-viral."
The US Department of State took the unprecedented step of issuing a level four "do not travel" warning for all of China on Friday, heaping pressure on other countries to follow suit on advice to travellers flying through some of the world's busiest airline routes. The declaration came after doctors in Chicago announced the first case of person-to-person transmission in the United States for a person who had not travelled to China.
Russia has ordered the partial closure of its border with China, its largest trading partner, and imposed strict visa limitations.
The Transport Workers Union, which represents thousands of airport security workers, called on Prime Minister Scott Morrison to immediately suspend all flights to China. British Airways on Thursday cancelled all flights, as did budget airlines Lion Air and Air Seoul. Jet Star, which is owned by Qantas, also suspended all flights to the mainland, but its parent carrier has yet to follow suit.
Australia's DFAT maintained its "do not travel" advice for Wuhan, while urging only essential travel for the rest of China.
Foreign Minister Marise Payne said no other country had stopped all flights from China but that position would "be reviewed every single day".
Australia's chief medical officer, Brendan Murphy, said the World Health Organisation strongly recommended that nations did not ban flights from China.
"Unless you lock down exit from the country, banning flights, direct flights, doesn't stop people coming from China," he said. "They could come from all sorts of other ports and at least we know who is coming from China and we can meet and do very intensive border measures for those flights."
The flow-on economic effects threaten to outstrip the SARS virus in 2003, which cost the global economy $60 billion.
In Hubei, more than 40 million people remain in lockdown, with businesses and transport shut across a dozen cities. Communist Party members have been urged to replace exhausted doctors on the frontline as more than 2000 beds are added to two hospitals built within a week.
Speaking in Sydney before convening cabinet's national security committee for an update on the evacuation plan, Mr Morrison said Australia was well equipped to deal with the potential pandemic.
"All of the issues, isolation, case management, contact tracing, prevention of onward spread, active surveillance, early detection, Australia has been doing these things and will continue to do," he said.
Despite a number of the Australians trapped in Wuhan expressing reluctance to be transferred to Christmas Island, Mr Morrison said there had "been very strong interest in participating in these arrangements".
He defended the government's decision to charge those being evacuated $1000 per person to be transported to Christmas Island. They will spend 14 days in quarantine in the facility before being flown back to Australia, likely Perth, and will then make their own way back to their home cities.
"These are the standard arrangements that are put in place for assisted departures," Mr Morrison said.
John Blaxland, professor of international security and intelligence studies at the Australian National University, said there had been a “cavalier approach” by the Australian government to the potential scope of the crisis, which has been compounded by the World Health Organisation being “surprisingly passive”.
“Meanwhile, judgement calls have been made based on evidence available so far and projections based on successful containment of SARS a decade and a half ago," he said. "Back then, though, China was far less interconnected and international passenger volume was nowhere near recent levels."
