International Virus outbreak in China (and elsewhere)

[Social Distance Warrior]

This weekend is a good weekend to review your current state of dry food that you can stretch and make sure you have at least the very basic stuff available so you can self treat. Should already have this anyway but if you haven't do it now.

I have a pantry full of canned goods that I could feasibly stretch a month. unfortunately I have only one case of bottled water.

Russian media is running a claim that the US did this.

Just like many of our media outlets are claiming this escaped out one of China's bio facilities in Wuhan.

Kind of concerning that both sides seem to be claiming this came out of a lab.

Which one of "our" media outlets are claiming that? Any of them legit?

No, Washington times, daily beast, ect.

I think maybe someone legit ran the story on the bio lab existing and citing the previous US complaint on potential for a disease escaping that lab.

Stay safe there, brother. Btw has President Dutertard at least banned flights going to and from China?

Nope in fact he and his minions placated China instead by saying it would cause diplomatic relations issue if we ban all fights to and from the whole China

so instead they only implement selective bans like cities Wuhan and Hubei.

Much worst are the Chinese apologists among my people and I mean among people I personally know who are quick to play the race card against anyone trying to propose a total ban.

This are not Filipino Chinese these are true full brown style Filipinos... This is why I have to stop reading social media feeds even though part of my work is to use Social media products to connect with clients etc.

Another disturbing trend I am seeing as of this moment is the increased flight bookings or queries from Mainland China to the USA I guess its those poor souls most likely Chinese Americans trying to escape the situation there. I know this because I work for a Travel Agency so I can track reservations and searches it just China to USA flights just spiked I think some of them are actually Chinese Americans though they have full Chinese names.

I am not sure how large the influx of new Chinese immigrants to the USA I assume there are tons of them who just arrived.

I don't like the Chinese foreign policy and Duterte's Pro China approach but I really feel for the people of Wuhang and China in General it seems its really getting bad over there.

I saw some convincing memes about it, so there's at least a 50% chance of it being true.

More seriously, "our media" is not above suppressing important stories en masse. The lack of trust thus engendered, combined with the deeper and more merited distrust the entire world feels toward the Chinese Communist Party, is fertile grounds for all manner of CTs. When there is no central source committed to truth rather than committed to a political agenda, then people get kinda wild ideas. It quickly goes from being a serious, contagious disease to being the Andromeda Strain in people's minds.

Anyway, I'm not claiming that anyone in the media is lying, just pointing out it isn't as implausible as it ought to be. I'm pretty sure the Chicoms are lying though.

The State Department has issued a Red alert for travel to China, i.e. Do Not travel to China.

The US government has banned all foreigners who have visited China within the past 14 days from entering the US. Japan and Singapore are also banning all Chinese visitors.


US denies entry of foreigners who recently visited China

There is some sort of disconnect here for me. These stories and the information is just so conflicting. This guy dies in the street.

Then the hazmat team comes to get him.

The article goes on to state this...

After being inspected the body was eventually zipped into a medical bag and carried into a van before the street was thoroughly disinfected.

Those who examined him were also sprayed down by colleagues after removing their protective suits.

If this is a virus that only has flu or cold like symptoms and a low mortality rate, meaning most people recover just fine, why in the fuck are they quarantining millions of people and spraying down in hazmat suits like its the zombie apocalypse? It seems weird to me that they would be freaking out like this on a virus no worse than the flu which they go through every year without quarantine.

Pretty normal. Last year at Wal-Mart two people died in line ahead of me. A Haz Mat team showed up to inspect the body. The first had died from dehydration from being in line so long so they just left her there, but the second died of the common cold. As a precaution, they burnt the body on the spot and killed the people directly ahead of and behind the guy in the line and burned their bodies as well. The cashier too. Luckily, I had my groceries divided by one of those little plastic sticks on the conveyor belt, so everything was cool. The lady behind me was visibly shaken and I was like, 'Don't worry, it's just the cold going around.'

I am not mathematician but if you go onto that virus tracker u will see something like 250 dead and 250 recovered which seems like odds of surviving are around 50%
