Chinese banks use ultraviolet light then seal and store the cash for up to 14 days
The banks have been urged to provide new banknotes to customers if possible
Central bank made an emergency issuance of four billion yuan in new notes
China has today started disinfecting and isolating used banknotes in an effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19) that has killed 1,527 people.
Banks use ultraviolet light or high temperatures to disinfect yuan bills, then they seal and store the cash for seven to 14 days - depending on the severity of the outbreak in a particular region - before recirculating them. The virus, which has infected 66,492 people in China and spread to more than two dozen other countries, has sparked a rush to disinfect public places and minimize contact between people.

Some wrote on the Twitter-like Weibo platform that their family members were exhibiting symptoms, but they couldn't get tested because hospitals were at capacity.

This will kill ebay sales from goods from China and Asia. Uh oh...
Filthy lucre not allowed!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.
Disinfecting the currency? What does this tell us? That disease lives a long time on the surface of things.
ROFL. I see what you did there. Ha ha ha.
Why don’t these scare articles ever mention the number who have recovered?
It’s 8,580 as of this posting.

I guess China is officially acknowledging that they launder money.
Disinfecting the currency? What does this tell us?
...
It tells us that they are disinfecting the currency.
Yes....we’ve been saying this, for weeks, on the LIVE CV threads...only to be told otherwise, by so many naysayers.
LOL
Wow, now they are on fool’s errands. How many times does a bill change hands before it finds its way back to a bank?
In the US, it is said a $1 or $5 bill changes hands on average about 110 times per year. That’s just less than ten times per month or a new “owner” every three days. I guess bills spend a lot of time in wallets, ATM machines, store tills.
Can bills really be a major vector?
Maybe they will require every store to send every bill every night to a bank for disinfecting.
What are live CV threads?
And, for no reason, at all.
Right?
Please do tell us, what reason is China now disinfecting their bank notes for.
ROFL
Actually it doesn’t tell us much. CDC has considered paper currency a contagion vector for a long time. Absorbent, tends to collect humidity from being in people’s pockets, stays about person temperature, and gets handed from person to person. Cash is a well known disease vector.
The daily virus thread.
I have NEVER heard of a country disinfecting their currency, so, I posted it.
Hey Jane, you know there will always be one of those its no worse than the flu ostriches on any virus thread.
[[Why dont these scare articles ever mention the number who have recovered?]]
Because that doesn’t keep people on the edges of their seats waiting with baited breath for the next report
Daily/every other day update threads, on all things to do with coronavirus.
There’s an Agenda free TV guy, who has been ON it, for updates and reporting what’s really happening, in China (beginning with Wuhan area), since day one. His daily (?) videos are sometimes also linked, within the thread(s).
Here’s the current thread...
