Here is a great column in The Guardian today over how this virus is being used as an excuse for people to be openly racist. This would be the greatest tragedy of all of this.

Quote:


Dr Zhou had just arrived at Gatwick airport last week when a British couple physically recoiled as she entered a lift. "The woman looked at me, quickly turned to her husband and told him 'they should wear their masks'," she said. "They assumed I didn't understand English, that I was 'fresh off the boat' and that I probably had coronavirus." Humiliated, Zhou a scientist who was travelling from London to Slovenia stood in uncomfortable silence.
"I do give people the benefit of doubt because they're scared, but why can't they give me the benefit of doubt? Fear is no reason to be racist. Statistically, as a British citizen who hasn't been to China in two years, I have the same risk level as a white person."




Ah, yes, some justified profiling is worse than a few hundred dead and a potential pandemic. Sounds about right.
There is zero justification for profiling somebody who appears to be of Chinese decent who hasn't even been to China in two years over this.
And you can tell this at an INTERNATIONAL airport during a time when infected Chinese have been scattering like rats? Wow..........you are good.

Back to real news....


Pulled from UK Daily Mail..

Quote:

Elsewhere in the US, three confirmed cases have been reported in California and one each in Washington State and Arizona.

There have been two cases reported in Illinois - the second case being the first time that the disease has been transmitted from person to person in the US.




The human to human in IL was husband and wife right?

Their dairy industry will be the next big issue. They are ramping up the size of the operations without any of the support logistics with it.

Aren't most people of Asian decent lactose intolerant? I wouldn't think they would be ramping up dairy.

Yeah, only people of European descent really aren't lactose intolerant. It's very very obvious when you look at how much milk some countries drink on a per capita basis.

The Chinese dairy consumption has picked up massively in the last 20 years. They aren't all lactose intolerant. They just didn't have much knowledge about it. The Chinese have begun drastically expanding their diets due to their continued missteps with disease.

Any suggestion that the Chinese people - on the average, and its quite easy to notice - are not .... let's call it racially opinionated ....
has very likely never been to China, and very likely never talked to a Chinese person.

Maybe - Let's cool it with the racism suggestions.

So... this is a retweet of a tweet by the english mouth piece of a state newspaper? Did i follow those links correctly...

I'm not sure if the response team is planning off of Monty Python or Outbreak... but I cant remember anything being so contagious that transportation of body was prohibited and your body should be burned on the spot.

Makes sense I guess. I used to drink close to a gallon a day when I was in college and lifting weights regularly. I probably only do a gallon or two a week as I've gotten older.

Yeah lol. just easier to embed that way

It is strange. I assume it's true because it's coming from a Chinese state run news source. But I guess it could be an incorrect translation? I agree there's absolutely no reason to cremate the bodies immediately for a virus like this...

Exactly why i brought it up. State run source, it says. Mixed bag of reporting. But who incenerates body close or nearby. No transportation. No burial. No investigation of evidence. Or this bug has some serious untold survivability.

I never assumed bioweapon but this seems over the top for a virus of this "nature"

I never 0l

I was feeling better but not sure anymore. Some stuff going around again that's pretty bad.

Quarantine going pretty long - things will break down over there soon.

Quarantine expanding still. Immediate burning bodies. The numbers just don't add up. Hopefully the rest of the world numbers are true and we don't have a massive problem coming.

To use an extreme case, shouldn't we know Feb 15th - and definitely end of the month? We keep seeing this 14 day interval reported. So just to really push the time out there, shouldn't March 1 make it clear?

Friend of a friend was a plane from Seattle to Barcelona today. Sat next to a man from the Bill Gates Foundation who was headed there for some sort of emergency health conference related to coronavirus.

The word pandemic was used. Told him the next two weeks are going to be rough. Advised him to stock up on food and to make sure prescription medications were refilled.

Take it for what it's worth.

ASM Meeting this past week. At the meeting NIH and CDC decided that they were keeping this virus BSL3 but not making it an "infectious agent" so they don't slow emergency research.

Most of the meaning is clear, but can this be clarified, as the two lines are important to the rest of it:

The first part: "This virus is an empty bun." That could sound like `not a big deal, nothing burger, yes' but is that what it means?

Second, yes, the last line others are remarking on: "Don't disturb social safety.[got the gist of that] The meat inside is invisible." A critical line because a concluding one.

There was the ASM biosafety meeting this week. Lots of the virologist I know (some work on Coronavirus research) attended. This virus is currently BSL3. That is a level below Ebola but still requires showers and masks and the like. The authorities told my guys that they were keeping it that level but not classifying it as an "infectious agent" like they normally would because they need people doing research NOW. If they changed the classification then the researchers would have to get protocols in place and go through lots of red tape to get approvals before they could work with the virus. My university takes at least 30 days to do those approvals.

Yes, the one from India. Read their rational in the last critic I posted in the 2nd long criticism post.
So those people who were convinced this must be an engineered virus based on the HIV findings were basing their tin foil theories on bunk science? Whaaaaaaat?! Wonder what brilliant conspiracy theory we'll see next?
