Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[Agent Abe Caprine]

Google's results for Coronavirus Ohio are far, far behind Duckduckgo's. If your country is heavily downplaying this, look up news for your region on Duckduckgo.

Really odd. You'd think news of the Miami University test results being an hour away would be right at the top.

Edit: Seems Google just has a stricter list of sources they consider trusted. An article finally showed up that was about the 7 PM announcement.

Still recommend using Duckduckgo first. They seem to update faster.

China’s Israel envoy compares virus travel bans to Holocaust

JERUSALEM (AP) — China’s acting ambassador to Israel apologized on Sunday after comparing the closure of several national borders to Chinese citizens amid fears of a new virus from China to the turning away of Jewish refugees during the Holocaust.

Dai Yuming told reporters at a English-language press conference in Tel Aviv that the “errors to limit or even ban entries of Chinese citizens” reminded him of “the old days, the old stories that happened in World War Two, the Holocaust, the darkest days in human history.”

“Millions of Jewish were killed, and many, many Jewish were refused when they tried to seek assistance from other countries. Only very, very few countries opened their door, and among them is China,” Dai said.


The Chinese Embassy in Israel later issued a statement saying “there was no intention whatsoever to compare the dark days of the Holocaust with the current situation and the efforts taken by the Israeli government to protect its citizens.”

“We would like to apologize if someone understood our message the wrong way,” the embassy said.

Israel halted direct flights to China on Thursday, and Israel’s Health Ministry has authorized border control agents to deny entry to non-Israelis who have visited China in the past two weeks. Israeli citizens who returned from China have been instructed to remain quarantined at home for two weeks in order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, which has killed more than 300 people and sickened thousands of others in China.

The number of coronavirus cases worldwide has passed 14,550, according to China’s National Health Commission and other countries.

Most reported incidents are in China, but around 150 cases have been reported in two dozen countries around the globe.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told ministers on Sunday that the country had “closed land crossings, seaports and airports to arrivals from China” for the time being. He said he has instructed the country’s Health Ministry to develop a vaccine for the fast-spreading virus.

“We are also updating the Palestinian Authority on all preventive steps and public health measures that they must take into account here as well,” he said.

The world marked the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp last week.

So... wait.

He literally, directly, and unambiguously compared keeping Typhoid Marys out of other countries to the Holocaust...then turned around and said "No, you just THOUGHT I was comparing this to the Holocaust, but I wasn't."

I'm not surprised by anything China does anymore, but he must REALLY think people are stupid.

What an asshole. He meant what he said. Guess what, dude. Every country on Earth has the right and duty to protect their citizens against pandemics, especially against a virus apparently created by people in YOUR country. So shut the fuck up. Why don't you tell those in Beijing to start telling the truth and making more of an effort to take care of the people? No? You say you'd be shoveling shit in Manchuria REAL soon? Yeah, that's what I thought.

US travel restrictions go into effect to combat coronavirus spread

The United States began implementing stringent travel restrictions Sunday evening in an effort to contain the novel coronavirus outbreak that has so far killed more than 300 people in China and infected more than 16,600 worldwide.

amp.cnn.com

US citizens who have been to hubei province will be placed in a supervised 14 day quarantine.

Us Citizens who have been to any other part of China will be tested at port of entry and ordered to place themselves in self administered quarantine at home.

There's a Chinese woman in the middle of the field as the sign language interpreter.

We're fucked.

No. She's Korean.

Even if this does turn out to be a nothingburger, the economy would be surely fucked up for months.

 

[Uncle Ted]

No. She's Korean.

My bad. I'm being a little too paranoid.

No sweat. Hey, take a look at the article I posted a short while ago. Says this virus is more aimed at Asians. Doesn't mean non-Asians can't get it but Asians are target population. May help settle the mind.

There are conspiracies running wild on Chinese social media like Weibo that the virus was developed by Americans, placed in bats, who were then released in Wuhan, because we knew that the filthy hillbillies and psychotic rich chinks would chow down on undercooked bat. And this is being seriously taken by mainlanders and allowed to flourish by the party minders.

China is fucked.

Did you read it? They're not begging for supplies. They're thanking those who did contribute.

It's A) polite and B) politically useful.


Wow. So basically you're saying, in an emergency, Spain wouldn't set up prefabs or tent hospitals to deal with the situation? The government would just let people die? That's very interesting. I mean, Franco was by no means a great leader, but it's funny that Spain has declined even further since then.

In an emergency, Spain has already prepared humane living conditions you imbecile, and so has the rest of the west, not to mention the iniciatives to repurpose preexisting structures into livable quarantine areas which everyone outside of your retrograde nightmare of a country has implemented. And don't you fucking dare equate the prefab nightmare you've built to tents! Tents made of the right material are much easier to isolate and maintain in livable conditions, compared with that multi story deathtrap the emergency camps used in exception cases over here are god damned luxury resorts, and that shit's meant for temporary accomodation of personal and gear for shit like search parties, not to keep the sick and vulnerable. It's not the rest of the world's fault that you're too busy sucking your emperors' cock to plan ahead of time. Spain already has contingency plans in case of pandemic, so do most european nations, not your sorry ass doe! And I'll soon get into the mess that are your biolabs too, but I'm preparing some links for that one. So lets just say, as much as our politicians suck, I'm glad I don't have to deal with yours!

That’s really nasty. If that suspicious looking conspiracy blog post has any semblance of truth or validity (which I remain rather skeptical of) then this might be a virus, possibly an engineered virus, that far more aggressively or effectively targets a specific racial group. The implications there are beyond horrifying. Hitler’s Final Solution as a self actuating biological plague that only effects the group you hate.

it sounds absurd. Alex Jones or /pol/ level idiocy. Yet it would explain the oddities we are seeing in the spread of this thing. How it is running rampant in China but seems to hit a bit of a wall overseas. Like why India has one reported case, and seemingly none in Africa in spite of the frequent Chinese travelers.

Here’s to hoping that blog post is just some QAnon tier idiocy. Because if it isn’t...

Here in the US we wouldn't build them out of dirt, bat semen, and wishes. Unlike the pollution goblins we'd use positive pressure tent systems, negative pressure isolation units, both of which can be set up by vaguely retarded high school dropouts because they've been field tested over and over and over. We'd also repurpose existing buildings, using practiced and tested existing doctrine. We'd bring out and dust off DECADES of operations planning that covers everything from Super-AIDS 2.0 to being attacked by zombies, coordinate with dozens of government agencies, alert military forces, let the House and Senate know we might have to deploy active duty troops in a non-police role to handle resupply for people in quarantined areas, take volunteers to drive vehicles and hand out shit, and work hard at managing a cluster fuck because the US military operates best when it's all a cluster fuck because a cluster fuck in nature's natural order.

Spain had an excellent comprehensive NBC Warfare plan in the Cold War and I doubt they just piled all the doctrine into a big pile and lit it on fire to keep warm or fry some fucking bats over when they got hungry. They're a modern nation, in infrastructure, culture, and inventiveness who would consider more than just SPAYUN NUMBAH WUN! when approaching any type of mass-plague system. His talk about how temp buildings are unacceptable for anything just shows that Spain wouldn't toss up some prefab buildings with "CORONA VIRUS STAY OUT!" written on the windows in Sharpie, and how they've had to look at other options for rapid deployment structures. It seems like it would have been obvious to everyone ,even pollution goblins, that there is far more to a hospital than a square box with some holes sawed in it.

But no, the pollution goblins throw up shit-tier obvious death houses with bars on the windows, destroy the roads and rail-lines into quarantine zones only to discover their PLA military vehicles can't drive across dirt without falling apart like an autist throwing a Lego death star against the wall, fuck up resupply and food, then complain when airlines and nations put up signs reading "No Pollution Goblins Allowed" because we all know they'd fuck up an orgy in a women's prison with a fistful of pardons.

With all the shit the pollution goblins have stolen since they started wheeling nuclear weapons out of Los Alamos in the 1990's it seems like one of them could have shoved an NBC warfare and biological weapon response FM or two into their pockets.

But no, POLLUTION GOBLIN HIVE NUMBAH ONE! and now you've got literal retards trying to respond to a disaster that they are socially, intellectually, culturally and logistically incapable of handling.

But it is good for the lulz from us, though.

Im not sure if the media is just to stupid to understand how those aids meds are used...
Ritonavir is always on the list. i would guess they just use combimeds because they cant get pure Ritonavir. Its an old Aids med and used more and more against all kind of virus because it amplifies the effect of other antiviral medications.

Yeah, it's great seeing this touted by absolute morons as proof that the new outbreak is engineered from HIV.. rather than, Chinese medical scientists applying their general medical knowledge and experience from fighting the SARS (corona)virus to solve the current problem.

In an emergency, Spain has already prepared humane living conditions you imbecile, and so has the rest of the west, not to mention the iniciatives to repurpose preexisting structures into livable quarantine areas which everyone outside of your retrograde nightmare of a country has implemented.

Good to hear! I hope the mean Germans have given you enough money for ten, fifteen, maybe even twenty hospital beds this year.

I fail to understand how any such virus could differentiate different races of people at a cellular level effectively.

 

[Allakazam223]

God, it looks like mass hysteria in a broke-down medical system full of sick and scared people during a national disaster in a third world nation.

The patients could be shivering incredibly hard (this can happen with fevers where your temp is all over the place and you feel cold when in reality you are getting hotter), seizing or god knows what. It could also be mass panic and reproduction of 'help me' behavior in some cases to try to get the few medics' attention.

Fuck knows. Glad I'm not there.

Thats either a grand mal, or fever rigors.

I fail to understand how any such virus could differentiate different races of people at a cellular level effectively.

Apparently, some Asians have a lot more ACE2 receptors in their lungs than other races. nCoV-2019 appears to attach to these ACE2 receptors.

I’m with you in that I think it’s 60’s tier ScFi garbage. But it is a horrifying thing to contemplate if it were possible. If it were possible somebody would have already sprung it on the (((Jews))) the Blacks and the Canadians.

The blog post seems plausible. Author said he had no factual basis to discount that the virus was engineered. I fear such manipulation of a virus is indeed possible. Lots of shit going on behind closed doors, or in buildings with no windows and armed guards, that our collective anus would permanently clench to learn about.

Yes we did, they are needed to keep drunk germans falling from balconies alive.

Spain will not have to build any new building, just make the Costa Blanca a wuhflu colonie.
