Also, a scientist in the US at Chapel Hill was working on a China bat/Sar combo in 2015 There is an article on the net about it.

The China virus outbreak continues to spread, with the first confirmed case in Australia and over 1,200 coronavirus cases in China. Get the latest in our LIVE CHINA VIRUS COVERAGE.
The virus, the Novel Coronavirus, began infecting people in Wuhan, China in December. There are now 1,307 cases worldwide and 41 dead. (1,287 of the cases are in China.) Numerous Chinese cities with a total population of over 30 million people are under full or partial lockdowns to help stop the spread of the virus. The first China virus case has been confirmed in Australia, and there are now two cases in the US and three in France

Only time will tell if it’s hype; but you have to admit that the response from their government is cause for concern.
He could use some background music
Here’s a live interactive heat map url from John’s Hopkins

not 140,000
I just read Wuhan is building a 1000 bed hospital. The goal is to build it in ten days.
Then there’s my cynical side that has me wondering with the deep states impeachment bombing out, look, shiny object over here sheeple.
03.14% mortality rate
41/1307
Yep, the thought has occurred to me, that this is potentially a way to tank the economy by overhyping it.
The markets are already reacting to it.
I am surprised it took FR so long to jump on this... been following for almost 2 weeks.
This is very, very serious stuff... weaponized bio-weapon leaked.
But the media says carry on... nothing to see. This will all change this weekend/by Monday.

#Beijing & #Shanghai declare a public health emergency level 1, the highest level
Most new cases are now occurring outside of the epicenter area. The propagation is now self sustaining since each infected person infects a few more and so on
Our military can build it (basically MASH unit) in 48 hours. Surely they can get this done in 10 days.
Although....they may need a bigger MASH unit, than 1K beds...maybe quadruple that!
Posted the the forrest thread.......
To believe only 1300 cases...
This originated in a city of 13 MILLION
Are we to assume that the 40 or so who been diagnosed in other countries ran into those 1300 people...in the city of 13 MILLION?
HIGHLY improbable.
This alone hints that the number really infected in China is EXPONENTIALLY higher.
Ten times higher?
Fifty times...eighty?
I’m guessing the suggested real numbers of infected at 80-100x higher than currently reported more closely represents the odds of the 40 foreigners contacting an infected person in a region of 13 million.
Mortality rate had changed today from 2% to nearly 4%.
Expect the numbers of reported infected to rise exponentially.
There is no cure. No vaccine.
If caught only symptoms can be managed until the virus runs it’s course.
Let that sink in for all who have family members who are medically frail.
Chinese New Year celebrations.
Certainly wealthy travelers from US and other nations will return or alreadyy have done so out of concern.
This is NOT contained
The reports from China hospitals is grim. 24 hour shifts. No more hazmat clothes. No meds to give.
This is not contained
Sadly to little is known
Exact incubating time?
Days contagious?
Real number infected?
Actual fatalities?
Primary initial testing is for fever, but reports say some display no fever? If so, they can carry more easily.
Six days ago, 40 reported cases
Today 1300+
32% increase?
If that’s the rate, then in six days 42,000
But the prediction is 250,000 to 350,000 by February 4 in Wuhan alone. Another clue that the current number infected is larger than we’re told.
No panic, but have a plan for the weaker loved ones in our lives of a prudent idea
I agree that it seems that they are fudging the numbers.Most of the people infected that aren’t from that city were on planes with people who were. The Chinese New Year has lots of outsiders there for celebration. Then, they get on their planes home, don’t know they’re infected and voila. It is spread.
CDC says 15 million have caught the flu in the US this year - that’s 4-5% of the population - and many people get shots. I can easily see 30% in Wuhan getting this virus (3 million). 10% mortality, would be 300,000 in Wuhan alone.
Great map! Thanks!
Yet many who get a flu shot get the flu anyhow.
The flu shot is based upon last year’s strain. Problem is that viruses mutate.
And here is another unknown...how will or has this mutated? It is already suggested that it mutated from animal form to human form.
It is suspected that it will mutate further.
Simply too much we’re not told, but in the next week as Western nations compile mortality rates, we should have a better idea for this..if their honest with us.
Actually a vaccine is on the way. Moderna in Cambridge. Impressive company. We’ll all be lining up before you know it.
Whoa. The print is so tiny! LOL! I hope someone is working on isolating this thing and creating a vaccine for it sooner rather than later.
