Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[Ponderous Pillock]

So it has been revealed the two UK cases are in York which for those who don't know, is a lovely old historical walled 'city' (really a town) in Yorkshire basically famous for vikings. It has a huge tourist industry. It also has its annual huge Jorvik Viking Festival in a couple more weeks which will bring thousands into the city for reenactments and the viking markets etc. They won't say but they are obviously Chinese tourists. York gets overrun with tour groups from all over, including Asia.

A mate who lives there told me she saw a mass of hazmats around the hotel this morning and the place all sealed off. Apparently they've dragged the afflicted off to the hospital other side of the country and the hotel is being disinfected. Properly, I hope. Fuck knows how many people these idiots have been in contact with - York is fucking CROWDED at the best of times - the centre has some famously cramped medieval streets that get packed ... as do many of the attractions.

They've not gone the other side of the country, they've been taken to Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, which is about an hour and a half North of York and is attached to the University of Newcastle as its teaching hospital. Which generally are the better hospitals of the NHS system due to the seniority of the staff present to teach others. It also has a specialist infections diseases unit, so the best place for them aside from a shallow grave.

By the sounds of it, the hotel will go through a deep clean similar to the ones enacted inside NHS hospitals, which should kill it stone dead on any surface. The main issue is how many have they likely infected, especially if the incubation period is infections as speculated.

RIP to our discount SEA prostitutes and sex change surgeries

So now Corona-chan is sexist, racist and transphobic.

- 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

Is this some sort of attempt by Scott Morrison's government to increase support for offshore detention by exposing the sort of people who would travel to China for a holiday to roided up Eritrean 'asylum seekers'?

If so, fair play to them.

how does Singapore manage to stay sane while having basically Dictatorship ? I shudder to think what Eurocrats would do with powers like in Singapore.

It's because it's a dictatorship.

To paraphrase the Leader of Belarus, "It is better to be a dictator than dead."

In this case, there's so many things much more important than the masks' 2.5% better result. Most infections come from not replacing masks enough, issues handling it when replacing it, people touching their face, clothes, etc. Sure the others are better but its enough.

Yep. If you want to be protected you gotta gown up and double glove and look like a literal fucking crazy person about to talk to me about alien mindwaves. I've seen some deep discussions about N95 vs N100 but no actual instructions for how to remove them and not infect yourself. Which you think would be fairly important but ok (hint: the CDC guide is not good)

That and Singapore shouldn't be its own state. It only became that way because the Maylays told them to fuck off and forced them to become a city-state. They've long just sort of scrambled around gaining power where necessary to survive than any real evolution of powers.

Why? Thailand is a dictatorship. Granted an open one, but they'll arrest foreigners who say bad things about the monarchy when they enter the country. Smack talk the King on your Facebook account and travel to Bangkok? Jailtime for you, bucko. They police-state up every few years, so if its run amok there I can definitely see them keeping mum about it.

One of the things we noticed about 2 years ago were a lot of Chinese exchange students were involved in SJW activism.

Woke SJWism -- also known as Cultural Marxism -- almost definitely is getting some support from China. Maybe from Russia, too.

Doesn't surprise me at all that they're attempting to push woke agendas during this. Just wait till they start explaining that LGBT, Women, and PoC -- literally everyone except white people and straight men -- should get priority on the Virus for reparations and to make up for all the "cultural evil" that Straight White Men have created over the years.

They could be mustache-twirling cartoon villains who propagate wokeness to undermine their host countries but that seems unlikely.

Most Chinese immigrants at least in Canada have a strong tendency to superficially assimilate, they'll adopt Anglo sounding first names, they'll decorate their houses with "traditional" looking kitsch and so on. Because of how thoroughly Western media is propagating woke bullshit at the moment I wouldn't be surprised if many Chinks think that repeating it is the way to fit in, and the fact that it attempts to lift up non-whites is just gravy.

The contributions of Chinese students are immeasurable.

Some thot at ASU joked about it and got blocked by ASU President Michael Crow.

This thread is losing steam pretty fast because information is starting to slow down. This is either a a good thing or a bad thing take of it as you will.

My city which has multiple confirmed cases in it is business as usual except for Chinese districts. Nobody is wearing masks nobody except Asians seem to give a shit. Masks and food seem to be as readily available as ever. If the assumptions of the worst case scenario happen in the next couple days we should see a spike in suspected and infected individuals, if not then chances are it may blow over. Still there needs to be more time and data for the virus to spill out of the incubation phase to confirm how bad it is in nations outside of China.

Its shit like this that makes me wish for a facepalm reaction. What the fuck was that bitch thinking?

On another note. I'm sure I'm not the first one to say this, but between York and Germany I'm starting to see red bubbles poppin'. We need to tell Madagascar to close the damned ports already, just in case.

We are dealing with the standard CHINESE misinformation campaign as per usual. Do NOT BELIEVE anything coming from the CCP. And I am watching

Coronavirus - Doctors Arrested for revealing the truth

It was doctors who first tried to raise the alarm of the spread of the virus and they were detained and forced to sign confessions... For a deeper dive into ...

Listen to this dude. As I have seen some of this shit, about the Chinese Culture first hand.

In this video, a WHO Doctor explains how to use the masks.

Yeah I read as far as 'hospital in the Wirral' and then they said Newcastle Infectious Diseases Unit, so I am confused why they said Wirral at first, but anyway. But apparently they all went to Hull first. That at least seems a fitting punishment for spreading that shit around.

It doesn't say if they're part of a tour group, because if they are - and most Chinese tourists are - they will have been in close contact with them on the tour bus and so on. Never mind all the museums and shops and crowded cafes they've been coughing up their germs around. How the hell you trace everyone these two have been around since they arrived .. impossible task.

You clearly only note Thailand for it's generally nice people and picturesque tourism locales. The actual government and leadership is incompetant and insane. It's technically a fully empowered monarchy. Not the "Monarchy as a sort of national symbol that we only let open supermarkets and shave the whales and such". Which means it is ruled mainly by a cadre of bureaucrats answerable to pretty much no one. "Nothing to see here" is the national motto.

Just wait for some random pajeet to break quarantine in new Delhi or something

What I’ve been wondering about ‘wet markets’ is that every American supermarket I’ve ever been in sells live lobsters, and a lot sell live crabs. There’s no lobster-human diseases, right?

An American seafood market or fish counter is just a different world. The market near me is scrubbed down with bleach daily, everyone wears aprons and gloves, fish is separate from meat/ dairy / veg. With the possible exception of shellfish, everything else is slaughtered hygenically elsewhere.
Chinese wet markets are like an heironymous Bosch painting. Cages of shrieking animals stacked up. Animals defacating and urinating on lower cages, things slaughtered in front of you. Guts just chucked Wherever (or eaten, intestine soup is a thing.) raw meats piled up, flies everywhere, no one washing hands or observing basic food hygiene. Stuff on floors.
If you wanted to design a scenario for getting novel animal viruses to arise and jump to humans, it’d be a market like that. They are a hot zone. Don’t worry about your lobster- the main risk from shellfish is common bacterial poisoning, same as always.

The confirmed cases in York went to Geordieville.

The evacuees went to Scouseland.

I'm heading out due to obligation to volunteer at a Chinese New Year Festival in NorCal this Saturday. Its not exactly near the coast of San Fran but another festival nearby was cancelled due to fears of the virus. I wanna say there's no chance but fuck man I'm still scared.

I suspect they weren't, they were in the Staycity Appartments in York, which are basically a whole building made of Air BnB style "serviced" self catering apartments. So some poor bastard cleaner goes in and tidies shit up for you, while you basically live there.
