This is worse than they are letting on. I think it was yesterday when they locked down Wuhan. You know it's gone bad when you quarantine an ENTIRE city. Was watching an interview of tourists there that managed to get out.

Even before the lockdown the government has already stopped all public transportation - buses and all, and these two chicks had to find someone willing to drive them to the next city. There's probably some tourists still left stranded in there.

If you live in Asia it's probably wise to start wearing masks when going outside considering the number of Chinese flying into the area. In my country alone they are sending back at least 100 people that were directly from Wuhan. Not to mention the local Chinese population in this region that is already in China and would fly back home after the festivities tomorrow.

oh that virus will benefit china's youth a lot, freeing them from pension costs of their elederly large generation

Sounds mean but absolutely true if this primarily affect the elderly. People say the Black Death is what allowed Europe to transition out of its feudal stage. (It caused a labor shortage, which drove up wage.)

like a chinese governeur during the chinese restoration cholera outbreak age once said to a french doctor:

"i will not do any cholera vaccinations, this is the most fertile region in the entire chinese empire, the farmers have up to 4 harvests a year and still the people are hungry, we need those diseases, to tear the needed holes into our midsts so the remaining ones have a chance to eat and live."

those viruses decrease the tax burden for the young, by tearing holes into the elderly.

Coronavirus is now also comming to the west
