You have your family with you there?




Yes, me (38), wife (35), son (3), son (10 weeks).

No bat soup. Turtle was the weirdest thing on menu. I stuck mostly to the sausage, checken, beef and rice

I ate turtle once. I'm pretty sure it wasn't coronavirus I got, but I wanted to die, nonetheless.

Its helpful to remember it's basically SARS + 2020 media/social media.

Imagine SARS with Facebook, Twitter, etc...

Buddy, I say a prayer for you. In the mean time you better get you hands on all the US cash you can and get in touch with the embassy. I would be looking for a way out ASAP.

I don't remember all the details of SARS but I don't recall several large cities in China (or anywhere) being quarantined.

Perhaps you're right but this seems much, much worse. That or China is just being extra cautious (highly doubt)

Well if I was as concerned about this thing as you appear to be, I would selfishly not recommend someone at risk of being exposed to and spreading the virus to flee, which results in coming here.

No doubt. Upvote to whoever posted the embassy info a few pages back, would have never crossed my mind if I were in that situation.

China caught alot of flak for taking forever to actually take action. They were also caught lying and ultimately several top politicians were replaced as a result.

Hong Kong canceled all schools for like a month. It was serious.

In some ways SARS was scarier because mortality was higher but there were only 8000 cases total.

This is obviously spreading much faster. We have reports of 90k cases and that might just be the start.

I still am not totally excluding that this is a bioweapon leak.... especially now that I read the Nature article about the BSL4 lab that was built in Wuhan 2 years ago.

EDIT: here is the LARP from 4chan
