I saw those videos as well (or similar). Just nothing confirming what it was.

“Remember...it’s just a bad flu.”

As far as symptoms, that could be the case for most non-smoking Caucasians. Even a mild “flu”. We don’t know yet. But being carriers and spreading is a real problem.

Day in the life of home quarantine...

Home quarantine for travelers buys time as new virus spreads

On his return from China last week, Dr. Ian Lipkin quarantined himself in his basement. His wife now puts his food on the stairs. He’s run out of things to watch on Netflix. At odd hours, he walks in New York’s Central Park, keeping 10 feet away from others.

Also interesting: 曾錚 Jennifer Zeng @jenniferatntd This is really a bombshell. Naval University of Engineering in #Wuhan, one of the five comprehensive military universities of PLA (official info: http://bit.ly/2URmJ5x) issued a lockdown notice on Jan. 2, 18 days BEFORE the gov. admitted there was an epidemic, 21 days BEFORE. https://twitter.com/jenniferatntd/status/1228435515776667649

Their system seems to be working smoothly in Beijing suburbs, where things are still under control and no panic.
Kinda surprised there aren’t any trucks on the road- how are they getting food around?

“True, but you’re pretty optimistic if you think the packaging and containers will still be available”

Probably will be the case for the second half of this year - we’ll be giving empty boxes to our loved ones (assuming we can produce them). What counts is that ‘the thought was there’.

Japan experts decline to raise alert, as virus ‘not yet prevalent’

OKYO — The coronavirus outbreak remains at an initial stage in Japan, an expert panel under the health ministry said Sunday, choosing not to raise the country’s alert level that would have allowed for a more aggressive response.

“The government is still able to track down infection routes to a certain degree,” said Takaji Wakita, chief of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases.

The health ministry had hoped for an upgrade to the next alert level, which signals a rapidly growing outbreak with high domestic transmission rates. Such a move would let the ministry switch focus from screening overseas arrivals and tracking infection routes to catching homegrown cases early on and boosting treatment capacity.

My son's girlfriend has a CDL and had been driving for years. He decided to give it a go. A week of study, then off to Iowa for training at TMC. He drove flatbeds with hay, huge coils of metal, lumber and other cargo. Long hours. Mostly living in his company owned truck. Never enough time for trips home. Even at that pace, he was earning half as much as he makes as a real estate broker. He's resumed the real estate broker mode. A little variety for guy with a BA in Business Admin and a 2nd BA in Physics. He was going to do the BS in Physics, but considered a teaching credential. The BA in Physics was sufficient to pursue the teaching credential. In the final analysis, teaching wouldn't yield any better income than driving the flatbeds.

The truckers have essentially stated that if asked to drive a load into an infected, quarantined area, they would not take the assignment. It just doesn't pay enough to risk your life.

They kill “germs.”

I guess I would wonder what “germs” they are talking about.

"...Yea, I don’t mind them making us support our points, but when one clown here started claiming that “we want millions to die” - that pissed me off, and pissed off the mods, who pulled 2 full threads due to him.

Understandable.

I've been following this for a few weeks now. The people on these threads are trying to WARN and SAVE people. Ignore the ostriches.
