They have certainly got the stop and check system down to a fine art.:eek:

Makes one wonder how other countries will attempt to control the spread of the virus.

Just realised from the tweet that this is in fact a training video. Explains possibility how it has been released. Doesn't change the reality of what is done/intended to be done.
 
Pretty concerning what the expectations are / could be if that's the training and preparation perhaps the virus is a lot more severe than what the punters are being told.

I hear the government here are issuing wet lettuce to immigration offices for the arrival of Chinese students :)
 
I see that Italy now has 230 cases, this time yesterday it was less than half that, and that South Korea is now at 833.

I'm aware that the information is readily available so I'm just posting it here for easy reference days or weeks from now to track the increase.

China = 77,150
South Korea = 833
Italy = 230
Japan = 154
Singapore = 89
Hong Kong = 79
Iran = 61
Thailand = 35
USA = 35
Taiwan = 30
Australia = 22
Malaysia = 22
Germany = 16
United Arab Emirates = 16
UK = 13
France = 12
Macau = 10
Canada = 9
Philippines = 3
India = 3
Russia = 2
Spain = 2
Lebanon = 1
Nepal = 1
Cambodia = 1
Israel = 1
Belgium = 1
Finland = 1
Sweden = 1
Egypt = 1
Sri Lanka = 1
 
the numbers at top of page (a very narrow and unscientific poll) are changing, with much more of a tilt towards WWE scenario

I think the real problem begins, if it gets a hold in Africa, imagine if it mutates with some of the horrible diseases there. The transmission skills of this thing, with the fatality ability of some really nasty disease, doesn't bear thinking about IMO.:2twocents
 
I have been unable twice to properly add the link to the pdf papers highlighting the sars/hiv sequences in the coronavirus so I try to download and attach the pdf..but it is too big
I just put it on a google drive:

tell me if you have trouble to access
It has been widthdrawn yet I am to reada single clear reason why except the obvious....;
this is what I base my "conspiracy" theory about it being an escapee from the unique Chinese lab (in Wuhan !!) working on such nasties.
Make your own mind but you are NOT supposed to agree with that, it is well known it is coming from the snakes sorry, the bats sorry, the pangolin sorry....
Then it is up to: what was it designed (if designed) for and what is its mutability if man made, I expect more unstability so more trouble to design a vaccine
 
Good find QFrog..

I don't know enough to appreciate the nuances. It would be interesting for someone with the appropriate understandings to evaluate the paper.
 
Sigh. People really can't talk about anything with the word "China" without talking absolute unadulterated lying slandering sh**. Yeah yeah. They lied there's actually 100s of millions dead in China already. Also Muslims are getting roasted as we speak as bats aren't tasty enough.

You really expect despite the racism, unfair accusations, absolute unequal treatment of China / Chinese people / "the government", gaslighting that you'll receive a "better attitude" in the future? You treat kindness and heavy attempts to contain the virus from the rest of the world with disdain. All you are doing is setting precedent that in the future the Chinese will act with *actual* impudence and aggression towards the west.

And don't bother calling me some government puppet / paid shill just because i have a different opinion. I'll admit it, they are paying me millions to argue with people on aussiestockforums.
 
Always funny when Chinese in the west tell us how hard done by China is and what a great country it is while they would rather die than liver there.

Iran is the country from that list that really sticks out for me.

Is there a lot of tourism, students or business travel between Iran and China?

also the exponential growth in Italy is interesting its a country who statistics I would trust more than most on that list.

The discussion is about a virus.

The virus started, and has thus far primarily been an issue in, China.

Would anyone be saying things much differently if it was in Austria, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Hungary, India or anywhere else?

It's simply an observed reality that China has what appears to be a crisis going on. No government locks down entire cities and suspends a significant portion of their national economy for the sake of it after all and the same observation would apply if it were happening anywhere from Qatar to Chile. :2twocents

I don't know about Iran - China travel but of other places in the Middle East, Doha (Qatar) and Dubai (UAE) are both key transit airports and stopovers for passengers flying to and from UK / Europe with UAE having 13 cases thus far which does ring some alarm bells as to potential spread. :2twocents
