Not related, but pretty funny

This is getting a lot of coverage in the media. The two were Chinese octogenarians (80+ year olds). Still waiting to see if this disease is virulent for the entire population.

This didn't have to happen. China could have nipped the coronavirus thing in the bud when it first appeared; instead they denied and tried to hide it. https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/terrifying-charts-show-chinas-economy-remains-completely-paralyzed

China's going mad. Maybe it already was and just needed a trigger. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8024787/Chinese-officials-continue-beat-dogs-death-fighting-coronavirus.html?ito=social-twitter_mailonline

I didn't say that, but the US is nowhere near as inept as Ukraine is. It's probably more corrupt, though.

But to be fair, maybe those protesting Ukrainians, knowing how corrupt and inept their government is, are understandably terrified of what could go wrong.

It's the same irrational fear. The Ukrainians returning from Wuhan are going to be quarantined until it's determined it's safe to release them into the public. It just shows how some people lose their humanity when confronted with a fear they don't know how to control. Those people who are...

Another look at the hospital built in 10 days to house coronavirus patients that they had to completely abandon because of water leaks. A good reminder that panic approaches to problems usually don't work out too well.

Mass protest against coronavirus quarantine zone in Ukraine. If you've ever been appalled at the history of ignorant crowds during the Middle Ages accusing "witches" of causing plagues and burning them at the stake, how do you feel now witnessing the same kind of irrational hysteria? Would you...

China's shutting down the internet in Wuhan. I guess they don't like the world seeing all of the citizen videos that make them look bad.

Air flight with people from Wuhan onboard. Just nuts. They're all sharing the same air through the ventilation system.

Well if you're happy, I'm happy

You can't stop something that supposedly spreads weeks before symptoms appear. Impossible. It's ridiculous to shut down a country, disrupt the entire world economy and cause such huge human suffering just because somebody imagines something bad might happen.

What makes it more worrisome than influenza? The flu kills lots more people every year than this thing has. Maybe don't worry so much about the bat soup horror stories and watch what the virus itself does? So far the only alarming thing I'm seeing is China's heavy-handed response that is based...

Do you go through this every year with the flu?

Why? Why does it matter? The flu spreads every year and people just deal with it. Why don't we get all phobic when that happens?
