Virus may have spread through sewer pipes.

There’s an ‘Explained’ episode on nexflix called ‘The Next Pandemic’ and it talks about how sars spread through sewer pipes and air vents. And this looks to be more contagious than sars so I’m not surprised.

In summary, 2019-nCoV elicits a rapid spread of outbreak with human-to-human transmission, with a median incubation period of 3 days and a relatively low fatality rate

---

Yeah, China is going ape-shite by killing their economy, locking down 400 million people, and spending into oblivion because of a low fatality rate and only about 900 people dead. Wake me up when the real numbers come out. I suspect that tens or hundreds of thousands have died.

Xi: containment efforts have gone too far, could hurt economy

Probably should have considered the economy after SARS and cleaned up those markets, etc.

China doing work. They do not want it called WuhanVirus or ChinaVirus or be associated with China at all.

You think hundred of thousands of people have died and they’ve kept that under wraps?

W.H.O. and the Chinese Gubment (sic) has comments about how WHO responded to the Chinese Governments action: words AND deeds.

quote:

---

Yet Ghebreyesus sounded as though he was more concerned with not hurting Beijing’s feelings when he made the belated announcement. He went out of his way to emphasize that the WHO declaration “is not a vote of no confidence in China.” On Twitter, he claimed, “In many ways, China is actually setting new standards for outbreak response.”

---

quote:

---

Ghebreyesus was probably referring to the Chinese government’s ability to build a hospital in 10 days, lock down a dozen cities, and quarantine close to 60 million people. Ghebreyesus fails to recognize that such dramatic actions are, as Chinese PhD student Yangyang Chen writes, “more about projecting state power than protecting public health.”

Before admiring the “efficiency” and scales dictators operate on, we should always ask, “At what costs?” For example, how are people obtaining food and medical care when all public transportation and most gas stations have been shut down? The answer is: many aren’t.

It goes on to consider that Taiwan has been cut off from learning first hand from some of the Corona meetings.

quote:

---

As of now, Taiwan has 13 confirmed coronavirus cases. Taiwanese officials have been complaining that they couldn’t get firsthand information from WHO because WHO lumps Taiwan with mainland China. The Wall Street Journal reports that “The WHO has held two emergency meetings since the coronavirus outbreak. Taiwan wasn’t permitted to attend, despite its proximity to China and its handful of confirmed cases. “

WHO’s keenness to promote Beijing’s interests is the result of Beijing’s deliberate strategy. Beijing has focused on increasing its influence in international organizations like WHO for years. While Beijing is not a big donor to WHO’s coffers (Beijing contributed only $18 million in 2018 versus the United States’ $90 million), Beijing has actively cultivated WHO in other ways: showering WHO officials with lavish trips and praise, promoting Beijing-approved candidates to take leadership positions in the organization; and lobbying the organization to do Beijing’s bidding.

Last May, the World Health Assembly, WHO’s governing body, endorsed traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for the first time, after years of heavy lobbying from China.

---

None of this matters to individuals who are waiting for test results. When this is over, maybe someone will remember this and try to separate politics from a health organization that seems to have a whole lot of banquets and well paid office people to a world health organization that at least attempts to be proactive rather than marginally reactive.

I mean, he listed a long group of legit possibilities. And then at the end he threw in a OH BTW THERE IS A BSL4 lab there. So it’s one of two things:

1)it’s unsubstantiated conjecture, phrased in terms of plausible deniability to try to make sound bytes appealing to voters at a marginal cost to US interests/foreign policy.

2)he has hard intel indicating it to be true, and speaking of it in a public forum, to the point that we know the research dossier, and is committing an act close to treason.

I wonder if anyone has told him (and all the rest who hooked on the BSL4 lab coincidence) that coronavirus isn’t even a BSL4 agent. It is rated as a BSL2 agent. MERS, with a mortality rate 10x this agent, is also a 2


CDC current recommendations for 2019-nCoV is to work with it under BSL2 conditions, with the exception of initial isolation active culture, which falls under BSL3 due to the uncertainties associated with the virus. All subsequent work is at BSL2.

3 kids are latest victims

We can see new death number each day and shake it off. But when you it kids in body bag, it hits you. Very hard to watch.

Wonder where they stored the bodies long enough for rigor mortis to set in?
Somehow the whole thing bothered me a lot. And I know it's foolish to be bothered by each individual not getting his own body bag. And somewhere there are three families who have lost their only child, and grandparents who have lost their ownly grandchild.

Thank you for that link, a cold hard look.

eta Whoever captured and put this up on the web deserves a major award for making the disease very real.
The even smaller third child may be the saddest.
