The Chinese authorities have released first pictures of a new strain of coronavirus which has killed at least 81 people and infected more than 2,800.
China's National Microbiology Data Center published electron microscopic images of the novel coronavirus extracted from two patients in Wuhan, the ground zero of the outbreak of the deadly virus.
Wuhan's mayor Zhou Xianwang today revealed that the city was seeing human-to-human transmission of the disease 'on a large scale'.

Preparedness of the 2019-nCoV outbreak
2019-nCoV may be about to become a global epidemic
Self-sustaining human-to-human spread is already present in all major Chinese cities
Seeding outside mainland China and subsequent local establishment may become inevitable, unless some or all of the following interventions are deployed quickly
Substantial, draconian measures limiting population mobility should be taken immediately
Cancellation of mass gatherings, school closures and instituting workfrom-home arrangements
Should containment fail and local transmission is established, mitigation measures during previous major outbreaks, e.g. SARS, MERS or pandemic influenza could serve as a useful reference template
Regions with the closest travel links with major Chinese ports, preparedness plans should be readied for deployment at short notice
Wish I hadn’t just read the unabridged version of The Stand.
Clorox..........that kills anything!...................
Ezhou has instituted mandatory cremation of coronavirus victims.
Dont worry Im working on a cure in my basement.
Well, at the very least its a good place to cave when the wagons are out collecting the dead...
I am soooooo glad today that I do not live in a major city!
I watched Contagion a couple days ago.
They should have named it Captain Tripps.
“...killed at least 81 people and infected more than 2,800.”
It’s far, far worse than that. Count on it.
Mobile crematoriums I suspect. More so than landfills.
Theres only so many of those available (learned during the avian flu that killed tens of millions of chickens and turkeys years ago).
Still waiting to hear what other ethnicities have contracted the disease.
We are not getting much information on the people in other countries other than they had traveled to China.
I have a blood disorder that is often seen in Asians. Does that make me more susceptible since I Have that genetic weak link seen in their population....that sort of thing should be watched.
And since that same disorder in seen in Greeks, will they be more susceptible. ..and so on.
Not really thinking about my particular disorder..just that genetics could play a role on who gets it and how serious it becomes.

It paints a dire picture of the city of Wuhan's survival. It is normally a city of 11 million people but apparently 5 million of them left when the virus was discovered. That still leaves 6 million people who need to eat.
Had to look that up. I dont do King.
btw, hearing China is closing their stock market. That will have ramifications if true. Have to go find out.
It was......the salmon mousse......
Its a building with patients in it but thats not important right now
