Literally no point in your comment seeing as someone already summarized it just fine.

Do you practice being an a-hole or does it just come to you naturally like that?

Super TLDR. Corona virus similar to SARS got out in China, infected tens of thousands. It can cause acute upper respiratory distress, leading to potentially fatal pneumonia. It is highly contagious and may be transmissible by people without symptoms. China has quarantined millions of people. The rest of the world have some isolated cases from people who traveled there earlier this year, but generally have contained it. It is unknown how deadly it will be. Somewhere between Flu deaths and SARS is likely.

just as a footnote

officially quarantined twice the population of Texas. Not sure if that number is low or not. And no one is going door to door to do wellness checks so people dying at home probably haven't been discovered yet.

Pandemic in China.

Highly infectious flu virus that takes around a week from contraction to showing symptoms. People are contagious before they have symptoms. Regular flu has 0.01% mortality rate. This has a mortality rate between 2%-50% (big debate on the calculations)

Nobody trust the Communist Party official numbers because they're very likely under reported. The handful of videos that make past censorship look like something out of an apocalyptic film and verify the China numbers are low.

However, even the official (under-reported) numbers from China are scary. Number of infected doubles every two days. 2 weeks ago, it was ~100 case mainly in focused in Wuhan (the epicenter). Single digit cases in other Chinese cities.

Today there are 18,000 cases. Other cities in China around Wuhan have grown to ~100 case. Single digit cases in the other countries (including America).

Expert has said the rest of China are about 2 weeks behind Wuhan and other countries about 2 weeks behind the rest of China.

Some anti-viral drugs may be working to combat the virus, but not sure for certain yet.

Hang on to your butts.

You want to stop the spread of this thing as quickly as possible this seems like a pretty good way to make that happen.

In an explosive interview Dr. Francis Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Act has given a detailed statement admitting that the 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus is an offensive Biological Warfare Weapon and that the World Health Organization (WHO) already knows about it.

In an exclusive interview given to Geopolitics and Empire, Dr. Boyle discusses the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China and the Biosafety Level 4 laboratory (BSL-4) from which he believes the infectious disease escaped. He believes the virus is potentially lethal and an offensive biological warfare weapon or dual-use biowarfare weapons agent genetically modified with gain of function properties, which is why the Chinese government originally tried to cover it up and is now taking drastic measures to contain it. The Wuhan BSL-4 lab is also a specially designated World Health Organization (WHO) research lab and Dr. Boyle contends that the WHO knows full well what is occurring.

What the actual ****?

If this is the case, I think our government should take a military offensive, yesterday.

The novel coronavirus that has sickened thousands globally may transmit through the digestive tract, specifically the fecal-oral route, according to a report.

Scientists from the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University and the Wuhan Institute of Virology of the Chinese Academy of Science recently discovered "virus genetic material" in stool samples and rectal swabs from some patients, Chinese state media reported, according to Bloomberg.

Some patients infected with the novel coronavirus, 2019-nCoV, had reported diarrhea when they first fell ill, and not a fever, which has been a more common sign of the pneumonia-like illness. The finding is significant because researchers have largely focused on transmission via respiratory droplets from an infected person.

The first of the now 11 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the U.S. had suffered from diarrhea before falling ill with the disease, according to Bloomberg.
I am skeptical of reports from Chinese scientists, but this may be something that corroborates the spread is due to the lack of good hygiene practices.

Also, never get a mint from the mint bowl in a restaurant. You might now get corona-virus.

I think the spread in China is as you say though, due primarily to lack of hygiene & population density.

They do that because they don't know how to use western toilets. The Chinese squat when they poop. Their "toilet" is sunken into the ground and nothing like ours.

And others just because they find the "plop" sound more satisfying after a 3 foot drop!
