Info there too. Not a raging lefty.

from your link: “The World Health Organization (WHO) announced the name Tuesday, saying it was careful to find a name without stigma.
“We had to find a name that did not refer to a geographical location, an animal, or an individual or group of people,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a call with reporters.”

we mustn't offend anyone. No Wuhan flu, No hongkong H1N1, no West Nile, no Nigerian Lassa. let's call killer virus something cute and ‘easy to pronounce’ so everybody feels warm and fuzzy.

Company partially reopens. One infected found. All 200 are quarantined.
Not sure if they are quarantined at work, but that would be sheer genius!!!

Top Kek.

Unusually competent government workers, or Omoeba holdovers determined to do whatever they can to sew disruption in the vain hope of getting rid of President Trump come the elections?

You have GOT to watch the propaganda on that one. It’s a sight to behold!

People that are told to self quaratine will spend time either prepping for the flu or the apocalypse.

Yeah, the flu. 24 year olds die from the flu almost every day. Over 18 you should be pounding down that vitamin C. That’s the ticket. /s

Was just looking at the BNO page. No update on the page since 13:55 Et.

I guess the emergency is over. Lol.

Market exposure to China by sector.

Looks like tech is screwed but utilities are safe.

Could be a compromised immune system (to be politically correct).

DoughtyOne has made up a great Excel file to track the data we do have. Y'all can add your own uncertainty factors if you wish.

It's likely just my machine, but when I right-clicked on the original hot-link & tried to open it, IE tried to open it as a .htm file and I got gibberish. (I don’t have a MS spreadsheet program on this machine.) But I instead saved the htm file and opened it with Libre Office Portable, which worked fine.

As I replied to D1, so far, the spread into countries outside of China, which data I tend to believe, seems well controlled at this point - remarkably so, in fact. The question is whether a "breakout" somewhere will occur. If the Ro value is as high as some suggest, I don't see how a breakout will not occur. We shall see.

I think I need 3 monitors...

Headed there!
