Wenzhou is a "city" of about 4800 sq miles (~2x the size of Delaware) populated by 9m people. The other big development is that Thai doctors claim to have found a cure.

So how much truth is there to this whole China accidentally let this virus out of their lab?

I personally think they have really responded pretty strongly with lockdowns on cities. Which would make me think they did release it and they are trying to contain what they created/caused.

But on the other hand I read where they haven’t done a very good job. So who knows.

In before the 'It's Nothing Worse Than The Flu' crowd.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

“...death toll from the disease soared to 304...”

Total BS. Add 3 more zeros.

And a busy port city, too. I hope someone is tracking vessels that departed before the lockdown.

Yeah, sure they can kill a virus? With what, those horrid Thai springrolls that look like alien life encased in a green thin membranous tissue like substance?

I’m not a ‘prepper’ proper and likely will never be. But seems like a good time the have as month or two of supplies if it hits the fan in the States. If nothing happen here then good... we don’t want to have to use the money we pay for insurance either.
