China coronavirus spread is accelerating, Xi Jinping warns
BBC ^ | January 25th, 2020 | Unattributed

Posted on 01/25/2020 7:49:27 AM PST by Mariner

The country is facing a "grave situation" Mr Xi told senior officials, according to state television.

The coronavirus has killed at least 41 people and infected some 1,400 since its discovery in the city of Wuhan.

Travel restrictions have already hit several affected cities.

And from Sunday, private vehicles will be banned from central districts of Wuhan, the source of the outbreak.

A second emergency hospital is to be built there within weeks to handle 1,300 new patients, and will be finished in half a month, state newspaper the People's Daily said. It is the second such rapid construction project: work on another 1,000-bed hospital has already begun.

Specialist military medical teams have also been flown into Hubei province, where Wuhan is located.

The urgency reflects concern both within China and elsewhere about the virus which first appeared in December.

When it hits Beijing and Shanghai, you’ll know it’s about to get real.

Any idea when Agenda-Free TV will broadcast again? He doesn’t seem to have a schedule listed.

Stealth virus. Nearly unstoppable.

Could you please re-post that list you gave yesterday on time before obvious infection and time for live virus on surfaces?

All should see that important information. Thanks.

4% of 1.5B is 60M. Mao killed more than that.

“Mao killed more than that.”

Yep.

But it was confined to China.

Viruses come and viruses go. Don’t hear much about Ebola or Sars viruses any more. 60,000 people die in China every day from some other causes. Sorry, but this Corona-virus is small potatoes.

Even if she has passed, the Egyptians had a saying:

Ralph Kramden on the Honeymooners: "Norton? It was his idea? You shoulda known anything that Norton thought up wouldn't work."

But when it gets to the level of Wuhan, there, that’s when the panic really sets in.

As someone pointed out..this could be fan fiction from the Chinese since it lays blame elsewhere..but interesting that it fits what it happening
