I don't see how they can say that. Who knows who else that guy came in contact with before that.


The Chinese government can track you via video from the moment you walk out your front door to the moment you walk back in it.

With their facial recognition technology they could easily track down every person he came into contact with, and do it relatively quickly with their AI systems.

I used to visit the city this clip was filmed in 3 or 4 times a year. And where they used to follow me around on foot they now just do it via camera.

Well now the impact of the coronavirus is getting real:

The last porno section of Hong Kong newspapers is no longer there, because of the Corona Virus. This long time reader reminds us that that the porno section survived the SARS epidemic.

How do I link a twitter video? I saw one where the Chinese is spraying this smoke chemical (Wuhan) in the air by commercial trucks. Each truck carrying giant funnel.

So I’m going to talk out of both sides of my mouth... with the govt trying to downplay the severity of this, there’s no way they would allow that out if true.

However it could be fake and used as a scare tactic to get people to do what they say and want...


Is there any other virus or disease that can be spread within 15 seconds of standing next to someone and not touching or them being close enough to breath on you? Bc if that was truly the case, the number of cases world wide would be 100 times what they are. One person on a subway car would infect 40-50 people in their vicinity and so on down the line.

Damn. I wonder what % of these are locked down to the point that they can't leave their home and which ones just can't enter/leave a city.

Spoke to a friend in Shenzhen and brought up the lockdown in GZ. They said they had not heard that and questioned why they didn’t know... I dug and found that tweet and sent it.

Haven’t heard back, even though they use VPN normally... have a feeling it’s being blocked. And also still haven’t heard from friend in GZ, which is odd.

These new lockdowns are strange compared to an email I got Monday from one of our suppliers that is located a few miles(15) outside of Wuhan. She said that they had started back to work and wanted to know about 2 pending orders we had placed and actually gave me a ship date if the orders were confirmed this week.

I read an article about one chinese supplier that when their employees got to work they were going to just quarantine there before they can begin work. Most live on site during work times anyway so it is easier.

Was that at one of the FoxxConn facilities? Those are basically self-contained cities for all intents and purposes.

I'm curious when they'll be announcing the name for the virus. The BBC reported two days ago that the announcement was close.

So finally heard from friend in GZ. They haven’t heard about lockdowns, although have been in doors for passed 6 days.

What they are “hearing” and I’m sure nobody is surprised, is that this virus was created by America and purposely dispatched...

Curious if that is based more off of Anti-America or Anti-Trump propaganda. Would this have been spread regardless of who's in office? I honestly have no idea how we're viewed over there right now

And yet we should trust the numbers they released.

I was told by a young investment guy yesterday that we did this and Trump is making money off the volatility he has caused.

Talked to a colleague in Hong Kong today. The anxiety is palpable she said.

People are starting to hoard toilet paper.

On a lighter note, pharmacies are sold out of condoms and vibrators (who knew they sold those in pharmacies?).
