Especially in a country like China. It could be anything they’re jailed for.
I read a yahoo article yesterday that was worrying. It quoted experts who stated this thing is right on the verge of being uncontainable.

It is just interesting that almost every single letter of the alphabet put in Amazon search bar, brings up something related to flu. I didn't even know what this stuff was...
Well, if its homeopathic it isn't anything except "one molecule" of this Oscillococcinum stuff that is some concoction of duck liver and heart in water. It probably has more native arsenic in it than the extract.

Iran started by announcing deaths, rather than confirmed cases. If 2% of people die from the virus, 3 weeks for coronavirus to result in death, and there are 6 deaths already in Iran, then there are probably a few thousand cases in Iran. The question I have is whether Iran is un-reporting, or are they unaware.
Other countries that are silent about confirmed cases are the ones to pay attention to, such as those in Africa and South America. That is the weak link to a pandemic.

From the link:
"Italy’s Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said he’ll ban travel to and from the areas of the country which have been affected by the coronavirus outbreak as the number of cases surged to 76.
All work activities, public events and schools have been shut in the affected areas, the prime minister said at a press conference in Rome after cases were reported in five different regions."
A family has been quarantined in Codogno, in the northern region of Lombardy, where dozens of cases have been identified, he said. Conte also announced laws that will allow ministers to intervene as needed to contain the outbreak, such as stopping sporting events or closing schools.
The Schengen Agreement, a free-movement treaty covering about 26 European countries, won’t be suspended, he said."

I wondered that too a couple of weeks ago. All speculation has been on meteor and climate as causing dinosaur extinctions. I don't think I've ever heard a strong theory about a viral outbreak, but now it seems like a viable option. Not kidding.

I am watching the "Titanic" right now, they just hit the tip of the iceberg.
Why do I see a correlation between this movie and COVID-19?

There may well be, getting these areas up to speed on the testing was only completed yesterday.

Just curious, sorry if OT, but what is BNO News? I've only seen it in the links here. It seems to be accurate and all, just wondering what kind of news service it is. TIA
My son lives/works in Seal Beach (very south LA area); I don't to be more scared for him or for myself and family in Arizona 60 miles from the border...
Does anyone actually believe anything China is reporting right now?

One case of coronavirus somewhere in the carnival crowd, lack of safe water ... what are the chances! If there's one case, the virus will explode in Brazil in two weeks. People who can afford it will very likely flee to other countries for treatment. That's quite an alarmist view, but not impossible.
"As the official Carnival celebrations kick off in the Brazilian city of Rio Saturday, potable water has become a valuable commodity, especially in the peak of summer when temperatures hit 120 degrees F.
...
On Feb. 3, the crisis hit a new low, and the whole treatment center of Guandu was closed due to the presence of a detergent in massive quantities. It's not clear where the compound came from, but specialists said the source is probably industries outside Rio and blamed heavy rain.
...
The crisis, however, hasn’t scared international visitors, according to City Hall. Hotel occupancy is up to 90 percent. Argentinians and Americans lead the population of foreign tourists for Carnival. Tourism representatives are nonetheless worried about the lack of information provided to those who come."
Carnival begins in Rio, but tourists will face contaminated water

I watched one of Dr Seheult's medcram videos on YouTube today that discussed a study done on bats and coronaviruses in China, and wanted to know the nature of coronaviruses carried by the bats, and how easy it would be for those viruses to jump into the human population, and how 'ready' the viruses were for human-to-human spread.
The results, according to Dr Seheult...there are hundreds of different coronaviruses already in bats, and already spreading to humans in little villages in China. And they're going human-to-human already!
The only thing that's stopped them becoming epidemics and then pandemics, until now, is that they've been jumping from the bats to the humans in these little villages that aren't conducive to massive spread between humans.
And the bats in the study didn't even have a 'middle' animal in the bat-human transfer.
Sorry, that first one is just an opinion piece. It has zero scientific value.
I think this assumption that 'killer viruses' are made in labs is a result of our living further from nature these days, and not understanding just how easy it is for viruses to spread from animals to humans, combined with our love of Sci Fi thrillers where viruses only come from labs. People end up thinking that a virus that lives in humans can only live in humans, a virus that lives in bats needs help to infect a human and can't do it without the intervention of a human in a lab.
I'm sorry if I sound so annoyed about this, but it does hit a nerve. It gives me the same feeling as the anti-vax movement and the "eat a natural diet to cure yourself of cancer" webpages that are plastered in ads for 'natural cures' to make money, and in that way not so much different from the Big Pharma that they abhor.
