Praying for no more loss of life, but that this crisis end up spurring up the downfall of China’s communist regime.

This came from a bioweapons..uh..research lab in that Province.

It’s not from some animal in a market that just happened to be infected by nature...

Origin is the research lab..

I think it’s a lot worse than the Chicoms are letting on, they have around 10 cities and over 30 million people quarantined....the entire State of Florida has less people and what is been quarantined in China....

They don’t admit it yet.

This will be a strong version of something in nature since it came from a bioweapons lab.

21st Century equivalent to the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918.

While it did not wipe out the human race, there was certainly a crimp in population lasting for perhaps more than a generation.

China alone could lose more than a hundred million people if this as dread as it is being made out to be. Imagine if it got loose in Africa in addition to all the other highly infectious diseases that lurk there.

This seems to be popping up in various cities in the US. People are going to panic due to fear.

It’s a SARS variant IIRC

Judge it by their actions, not their words. If they are quarantining entire cities, there is something going on.

Wow, who’da thunk China would lie?!? They wouldn’t be locking down everything if it was just the common cold and the rest of the world wouldn’t be banning flights.

It’s not all old people. Saw a headline on Wash Post about a young man dying but it was behind a wall so couldn’t read it.

Ed Morrissey of HOTAIR Observes:

Imagine, if you will, that the US had put the state of Washington in lockdown after finding its first case of the Wuhan coronavirus this week.

That wouldn’t amount to a third of the population China has now locked down as they rapidly expand their quarantine of their central provinces. Thirty-five million people now cannot travel outside of the hot zone for the virus, and most of those cannot travel much within it either. Beijing has also updated its numbers of the sick and the dead, but they might still be underestimating those.

Ohhh and By the way, another Coronavirus case was discovered ... IN CHICAGO!

Meanwhile, here in DFW we’ve had 11 flu-related deaths this year, the latest victim was 34 years old, and had no underlying health issues.

This scares me a lot more than the coronavirus.

That’s my thought also. The Wuhan Institute of Virology is the first and only (as of Feb 2017) Level 4 bioresearch lab in China. Those are potentially “dual use” facilities.

If Wuhan 2019-CoV is a bioengineered virus, the next question is whether this was an accident or bioterrorism (for political or financial reasons; or both)?

I love that line from The Americans. My country does not have a bioweapons program. That has been outlawed by treaty, but we do work on antidotes just in case your country has a secret bioweapons program

Don’t know anything about China other than they cant be trusted.

Hard for me to believe it would be China State sponsored terrorism. Could be somebody was paid off to release it from another country type thing.
