Ron is the ccp mouth piece on this forum. Claims china is just and very good place. Then you see the market where the **** show virus spread and they got like hundreds to animals caged like porcupines and other off the wall ****. Then you see the way they prepare the food and its absolutely disgusting at how barbaric the hygiene level is.

Probably not much different than backass parts of Mississippi.

Not directly related to the virus in China, but some feel this scientist is being irresponsible:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...flu-strain-for-pandemic-research-9577088.html

A controversial scientist who carried out provocative research on making influenza viruses more infectious has completed his most dangerous experiment to date by deliberately creating a pandemic strain of flu that can evade the human immune system.

Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin-Madison has genetically manipulated the 2009 strain of pandemic flu in order for it to “escape” the control of the immune system’s neutralising antibodies, effectively making the human population defenceless against its reemergence.

Most of the world today has developed some level of immunity to the 2009 pandemic flu virus, which means that it can now be treated as less dangerous “seasonal flu”. However, The Independent understands that Professor Kawaoka intentionally set out to see if it was possible to convert it to a pre-pandemic state in order to analyse the genetic changes involved.

The study is not published, however some scientists who are aware of it are horrified that Dr Kawaoka was allowed to deliberately remove the only defence against a strain of flu virus that has already demonstrated its ability to create a deadly pandemic that killed as many as 500,000 people in the first year of its emergence.

12 Monkeys. Good times.

From the linked article; including poultry, donkeys, sheep, pigs, camels, foxes, badgers, bamboo rats, hedgehogs and reptiles.

I suspect that when the zombie apocalypse starts it will be in Asia from eating the rotting corpse of some animal.

Hopefully it’s the slow kind of zombies, not like in World War Z with the very athletic ones.

Literally lost a mouthful of water Just now

LOL!

The good news with this is I may be done teaching in a few weeks. Sweet!

Wuhan now under quarantine, a city of 11 million.

It looks too serious to ignore from the leaked photos.

Are you ok @Ron Mexico ?

Thanks for asking! I'm doing fine. I'm in Shanghai right now the security is a little silly. I'm wearing a mask and using lots of hands sanitizer. I get my temperature checked every time I go into my hotel.


This is going to spread a lot. But I think it's just panic. I don't think this is any worse than a bad flu virus going around in any country that kills lots of people every year. It is really ****ing with my day to day life though. I'll post more in a couple days about this.

China and many other poor areas so need to learn hygiene and how to disinfect better. The open markets in some areas of China can be a little gross to me. But not that unlike poor rural areas of the USA or many other places.
