It's also a coincidence that Chinese scientists were removed from a Canadian level 4 facility last summer and banned from returning.

Measles is making a comeback too, thanks to Russian propaganda convincing people to skip vaccines for muh libartee.

Funny that a accidental release of a deadly virus from one of these facilities is called a leak, there were "leaks" of SARS before.

A report came out claiming only 13 of the original 41 cases could be linked to the market.

I had a flight to Thailand soon. That got canceled. I have a bad feeling about this. Being asymptomatic for 2-14 days and having a very high R0. This could spread like wild fire. I think its worse but they won't say because it will cause the markets to crash. Thailand alone would lose over 50 billion bhat just from Chinese tourism. The WHO needs to get some balls and stop flights out of China.

Thanks China. Oh, and if you can have your people continue to hop the que and pretend they don't understand universal common courtesy every fucking chance they get, that'd be great too.

Oh I love being the one to correct them. I have done it several times here in Visayas (my command over the Visayan language is improving) and they always get this deer in the headlights look. In fact I never pass up the opportunity to point out when someone ignores common courtesy. It rubbed off on me from spending time around Japanese guys. I coulda swore it almost got me killed in Colombia a couple years back when I saw a couple of kids around age 18-20 not give up their seat to an old couple at a bus station. They could have easily pounded me to shit, these were tough looking kids. It took em a few seconds to make sense of me telling them to get the hell up and asking what is wrong with them. Then they got up and actually thanked me for correcting them.
Anyway, point is, Colombia is a poor country with old traditions, like China was before the great leap backwards. Now, when ever you see a mainland Chinese person, they're almost invariably doing something that shows complete lack of courtesy. It's really a backwards society and it's contained to the commies. You don't see it in Taiwan, Hong Kong or Singapore.

3 young Chinese men with neat haircuts tried to pick a fight with me in Boracay about a year ago when they saw my tattoos (some of them are patriotic American type stuff that I got while I was in the military). They followed me from the beach up to the main boulevard. They started trying to grope my girlfriend while talking shit in Mandarin. I managed to push one onto another one and they both fell, then I wound up like I was going to punch the shit out of the third and he fell from flinching so hard. Then a bunch of pinoy dudes came and broke it up. Just in time too, 1v3 is a terrible matchup. I always thought of it as a dramatic allegory for an actual war between the US and PRC. I don't know who would come and break up the big one though.

It appears to me that the US is vulnerable to a pandemic, it costs money to go to the doctor or hospital even with insurance there are copays for many, there must be lot's of under reported disease.

There is a lot of profit to be made from a pandemic. People all over Mainland China are clamouring to buy medical supplies to sell to people breaking the blockade to enter Wuhan. 3M facemasks in particular have seen a huge price hike all over Asia.

It sounds like a panic, the mortality rate is not that high from what I can gather and I'm sure they are working on a vaccine in at the lab Winnipeg MB. The great pandemic of 1918 was worse, the "spanish flu" killed millions. Face masks are popular in Asia, I imagine the air quality is horrendous in some places, reminds me of the movie Avatar.

It doesn't have to kill everyone to be a pandemic. H1N1 kills tens of thousands and its mortality rate is 0.02% with an R0 of 1.2 and managed to kill thousands of Americans last year while causing severe illness in millions.
This new mutation of SARS has a mortality rate of more than 3% and an R0 between 1.5 and 2.5 with some estimates placing it as high as 4.
This illness is said to be much worse than the flu in regard to symptoms and discomfort.
It's already a phase 5 pandemic because the CCP tried to cover it up instead of reacting.
I'm laying this out line by line because facts are facts. I'm not trying to cause alarm. If facts alarm anyone, sorry, not sorry.

Also, new research suggests that Spanish Influenza wasn't directly responsible for most of the deaths that have been associated with it. It turns out that the viral pneumonia actually sets up the lungs for bacterial pneumonia, which is why it was so deadly even to young adults in 1918.
Things have changed in the last century. A big part of that is about facts, data and information.
