Traveling in Asian countries, I am watching the fear mounting, people walking around in WW2 German mustard gas masks. (not many but tons of surgical masks) And can you really trust the news of the death tolls and sickened from a Communist country news bureau that exaggerates and understates whimsically according to their current purposes? There is widespread panic in China corralling 35 million people in Wuhan.
And not to mention, the misfortunate western mongers in China are starting to complain, not about the virus itself but the fact that the government health board is closing down AMP's during the crisis. (blatant audacity) The lads might be forced into the inconvenience and expense of traveling to far-away distant provinces for attention. (And that expense will most definitely result in lower tipping)
But like all viruses including SARS and the Bubonic Plague (It still exists. It had a major breakout in India while I was there and I was quarantined in Kennedy Airport) of the middle ages wiping out half of Europe, they seem to rise and fall without rhyme or reason.
Corona seems linked to eating snake and bat soup as Bubonic was linked to rats, all of which are still culinary delights of China. Any of you guys consuming any of those protein sources should return to a more standard diet. The virus from the bats supposedly transferred to the carcasses of dogs, chickens, pigs, snakes, civets and others in the wet markets so common in China and then made their way into humans.
Just saw this.
Ominous developments concerning Chineses coronavirus.
Schultz reports the Chinese virus was in fact an accidental release from a secret bioweapons lab near Wuhan.
The director of the lab covered up the release for over a week.
The virus is much more powerful than they originally thought.
His sources indicate already over 1 million have been infected and the Chinese government is in a crisis mode. Building emergency hospitals and quarantines major indicators.
Up to 5, 000 have already died.
The virus has also shown up in Chinese concentration camps. It was likely tested on concentration camp inmates.
Estimates are over 100 million will be infected in coming weeks. Central China will be put under a massive quarantine for up to 2 years.
The virus was being being developed for use against the US. The Chinese of course are blaming the US internally through rumors in social media.
This could be worse than 1918 flu pandemic which killed approx 30 million by a factor of 10.
