I believe this lady’s reports are direct from Wuhan. You must report your daily temperature to authorities or they come to get them.

Thats correct.

After testing the people with symptoms, they need to test the other 3400!

mr. BP thinks I’m silly reminding him every time he goes to Costco to pick up packs of TP, paper towels and kleenex. We have about 10pks now. I tell him he will thank me if there’s ever a shortage !

I posted yesterday, they are using drones to take temps (unless that is CCP propaganda). Some of it is so fake looking. Like “look at us, how advanced we are - we even have robots delivering food during quarantine!”

Is this Coronavirus seasonal like other flu strains, or is this going to go on and on?

The coronavirus is not a flu. It is similar to SARS and MERS.

Well, well, well...

Note that this is an MSM source, about ...ahem, a very highly placed government figure; not an obscure nobody sh!tposting for clicks, mmmkay?

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/white-house-asks-scientists-investigate-origins-coronavirus/story?id=68807304

The director of the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), in a letter to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, requested that scientific experts "rapidly" look into the origins of the virus in order to address both the current spread and "to inform future outbreak preparation and better understand animal/human and environmental transmission aspects of coronaviruses."

... The director of the OSTP, Kelvin Droegemeier, wrote in the letter to the president of the National Academy of Sciences, Marcia McNutt, that a widely disputed paper on the origins -- subsequently withdrawn -- had shown the urgency for accurate information about the genesis of the outbreak.

... ABC News' Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton asked the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease about concerns that stem from misinformation online that the novel coronavirus could have been engineered or deliberately released.

"There's always that concern," Dr. Anthony Fauci said. "And one of the things that people are doing right now is very carefully looking at sequences to see if there's even any possibility much less likelihood that that's going on. And you could ultimately determine that. So people are looking at it, but right now, the focus is on what are we going to do about what we have."

“WHO says it’s time to open your wallets”

no way, Jose. Chinese nationals are stripping all other countries of supplies from wipes to masks to surgical gowns while restocking is delayed. If China govt can equip 30, yes 30, new research labs in this past month, they can afford to pay for the supplies they need. $675M is a drop in the bucket to the Chinese economy. China First is ok for china but china is not first in the world at the expense of other nation’s preparedness. Let China open it’s own wallet.

That’s crazy. Not sure I buy that. The most ridiculous one, SO obviously fake was one in the makeshift hospitals. A video that was probably legit was a Chinese woman complaining about the conditions in the hospital - people looked sick and it was kind of grim. But then not long after someone says to the original poster, “why don’t you post this one?” And I kid you not, people were sitting up in their beds, makeup on, smiling, happy, chatting...

Not enough docotrs!? Why just yesterday I saw on a Chinese Youtube about their wonderful efforts in keeping this virus under control. One clip showed perhaps five or six nurses/doctors in a gleaming room tending to one sick person.

At some point, not too far away, we will need those resources in the US.

Details? I'm not finding much except orf8 29 nucleotide deletion makes the virus less robust, or at least it did with SARS back when that hit; however, since at the time SARS was new to humans, it didn't make much difference since there were no other viruses competing for the same niche.

Also I saw an article header which seemed to hint that mutations in orf8 would lead to greater resistance to UV light by the virus; but when I followed the link I couldn't find anything like that.

Any details you can give will be welcome...

They know, or have zeroed in on likely possibilities.

Unsettling, all of it.
