Thought it may be a good idea to have a place to follow all the fast moving events in one place
updates coming in fast
Oddly enough though, people aren't dying everywhere. We'll revisit in a few weeks and see who is right.
This might explain why Beijing is supposedly going to ‘replace’ the leadership.
For some CCP/PLA value of ‘eliminate’.
Folks....I listened to Dr Ken Berry’s excellent video about the precautions and preparations, for this corona virus.
I’ve (to the best of my ability) transcribed what Dr Berry said and recommended, as follows.....
Cough and sneezes, with virus particles, can reach up to 5 - 7 feet
Can live on surfaces for up to FIVE days.
Hard to control the spread.
Masks protect a little....more precautions are listed, at end...
Can effect ANY of your mucous membranes.....that is....eyes, nose, mouth, genital and anal areas.
Most dangerous place you can be, in an outbreak lie this - whether it becomes a pandemic, or not - is in a closed atmosphere.....like a bus, plane, train, large meeting, church, clinics, hospital....any where with large amount of people in close proximity.
There is no test or vaccine, or medication to treat for this, currently. Only supportive care.
You can be infectious/contagious up to 5 days, w/NO symptoms or fever.
Currently airports are screening w/thermography, but you can be contagious w/no fever.
Dangerous in the very young and old....especially those w/compromised immune systems.
SARS and ME virus were both corona viruses, but we don’t know virulence of this virus, yet.
Doesn’t want us to worry/panic but does want us to be concerned and prepared.
Gives a scenario of how you could become infected, and subsequently infect your family....you go to store....get sneezed on....feel great, come home...you’ve just infected your family.
Someone infected touches a door handle....you come along 2 - 3 days later and touch same handle.....you’re now infected.
Prepare yourself and your family....
Should this become more serious/pandemic...
1.) Stay home. Stay away from crowded areas and only have contact w/your immediate family. Specialists on MSM aren’t telling us this.
2.) At home, discourage or deny visitors. Use delivery services. (I say also take precaustions w/deliveries....spray down, use gloves, etc.). Use gloves and goggles any time outside. Keep door closed as much as possible to keep particles out.
3.) If you HAVE to go to work....wear (N95 or K2) mask.
4.) Wear wrap around safety glasses to protect eyes (conjunctive tissue).
5.) Wear gloves....disposable nitrol, in public.
6.) Wahs hands often....always w/water and soap...20 seconds. DON’T trust hand sanitizer. They can kill bacteria but NOT viruses.
7.) Avoid as much humanly contact, as possible. No crowds.
8.) Avoid clinics and hospitals for routine matters. Only go if life threatening and cannot treat at home.
Don’t panic....just prepare.

God bless!
I can see that
Fort Detrick couldn’t even get safety right as per CDC.
I dont think intentional release.
I do think it is related to that bioweapons lab.
I guess we should be happy it wasn’t a weaponized nipah virus (mortality of upwards of 70%)...
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.
Men fight wars, mostly. We are just smelly barbarians under our clothes. Lol.
You think we got a chance to pay off that debt ? Take a good look at those millenials. Lol.

Check out your “hand sanitizers”. They kill bacteria. Period.
I’m unaware of anti-virals in general merchandise off the shelf. Probably are some, but the labels will tell you.
One online story claimed two days before a date sponsored banquet, where 100,000 ate from the same plates, they confirmed 49 cases. It should have been cancelled. It was in the outbreak city.
Thanks for the summary!
Local news says the mystery patient is in Central Texas. Yeppers, I’m this close to winning that bet.
Wander through the UT music building and you’ll only hear Chinese/Japanese/whatever Asian.
Depends on the percent alcohol.
Yes, that event should have been cancelled but they weren’t cancelling anything at that time. They just started yesterday. WAY too late.
Just picked up two spray cleaners with bleach. They will run out fast. Ebola shuffle again. Just never touch your body with your fingers. When you leave table go into restroom, spray the cleaner with bleach all over your hands. Rub them together good and rinse.
In general, no, but I'm just comparing one very modern very new lab with a lot of international inspection and collaboration to, in the immediate region, hundreds of thousands of juicy incubators with virtually non-existent oversight or even rules, much less regulators.
Not that we necessarily handle dangerous stuff better here. I suspect even Chinese engineers would blanch at the stuff that went on at the Paducah, KY, Gaseous Diffusion (nuclear materials) Plant. (Do a web search, if curious.)
Yeah. That’s the one.
I see that is a Democrat disease...
Comes from Fruit Bat Crap ( Bat crap Crazy)
Symptoms: fever, cough, headache, confusion, confusion, confusion....
Seems like eating monkey meat and bats produces these outbreaks naturally.
