International Wuhan Coronavirus V2 - Hide your kids, hide your wife and buy masks!

[badascan]

Went to the local rite aid store and noticed they had some vaccine "now available" so I ordered a half dozen to-go as I paid for my goods... The woman didn't know what to say.

..... but you still do go out in public.

What the fuck is your point

Indication of how easily it spreads:

There are now 42 confirmed cases in Hong Kong, according to The Center for Health Protection.

The latest case and the twelfth case lived in the same building, according to The Center for Health Protection's Dr. Wong Ka Hing. "We noticed that it’s the Hong-mei Building Unit 7, which is the same building and same unit as a previous case, but they lived on different floors of the building," he said.

He added there are 10 floors between these two apartments.

Large international events keep getting canceled, even outside of Singapore:

“Due to the outbreak and continued concerns about novel coronavirus, Amazon will withdraw from exhibiting and participating in Mobile World Congress 2020, scheduled for Feb. 24-27 in Barcelona, Spain” Amazon said in a statement to CNN.

Huge if true

This would explain the extreme transmission rate on the cruise ship as well as how a dude 10 floors up from an infected patient got infected in Hong Kong

Nice article about the hero ICU docs in Wuhan risking their lives working 24/7 to try to clean up this absolute shit show

Really concerning that they mention people having mild symptoms for 3 weeks before suddenly dying.

Walking around Barcelona is a treat for the eyes....

I also love Valencia.

Spain is a great place for girls.

I gotta fly again tomorrow. Better not be anyone with coronavirus on my flight

You're right. It just kinda pissed me off that I can troll all over this mofo with no consequence and then in an actual serious thread posts removed. Anywho, it's not that big of a deal. Any idea when the CDC is due to update today?

Nah, but I'm keeping my ear to NPR.

Now it seems to be spreading in hospitals in the UK (not good):

Two of the latest four coronavirus infections in the UK are healthcare workers, and British authorities are now “working urgently to identify all patients and other healthcare workers who may have come into close contact” with them, Public Health England Medical Director, Yvonne Doyle, said in a statement.

Here's the full statement:

“As a result of our contact tracing we now know the new cases announced today are all closely linked to one another. Our priority has been to speak to those who have close and sustained contact with confirmed cases, so we can advise them on what they can do to limit the spread of the virus.
Two of these new cases are healthcare workers and as soon as they were identified, we advised them to self-isolate in order to keep patient contact to a minimum. We are now working urgently to identify all patients and other healthcare workers who may have come into close contact, and at this stage we believe this to be a relatively small number.
We would like thank all those who have followed public health advice and have taken the necessary steps to reduce the risk to the general public.”

This is eerily similar to a case of SARS transmission when a guy took a shit and the HVAC was misconfigured so he infected the whole building with his shit particles being spread into all of the units of the building

Reports of how a healthcare worker in Singapore who was quarantining people got infected himself

This is likely to happen to many healthcare workers and fellow patients coming in contact with infected people

If I recall correctly neither one of you were the actual troll post, but quoted it so you got the same notification.

Apologies, brother.

Fucking hell...

Apologies, brother.

None needed. I appreciate your content. My comment was meant as nothing more than banter, not a threat of reprisal.

Now I'm no engineer...

But how in the BLUE HE// do you connect sewer pipe with HVAC?!?!

 

[scoopj]

And risk being exposed as having an Auschwitz without the forced labour part? I think they rather sacrifice these workers anyway, if they die they will send someone else to do the same thing.

Yeah. I can see how the optics of a state run crematorium might not go over too well lol.

Co-Worker just asked if she should cancel her flight to Japan in early April. Had to walk the fine line of not scaring her but ensuring she did cancel.
