Of all the countries for something like this to start, China is the worst-case scenario.
Their response is frightening to me.
This is secretive Commie China we are talking about..and they are in full blown panic.
Since when does Commie China order a hospital built in 7 days to combat bat soup.
Something is off about this whole thing.
Let’s assume it is not something that escaped their bioweapons lab.
Maybe it came from bat soup.
They are responding like it is a bioweapon. After only 41 official deaths. Actually, even before those official death numbers
The thing is, China, as Mariner has pointed out, and we have seen confirmed in the past, is a near perfect incubator for such outbreaks. No “bioweapons” labs necessary.
Odd as it might seem, there’s a factor I believe even Mariner (and I, until tonight) may have missed. The infectious capability (viability) of a virus in the air, on non-living surfaces, etc., decreases with time and temperature. That may be why other populous countries with seemingly similar environments for respiratory viral development, but much warmer climates, seem to produce fewer such outbreaks.
