Airport was pretty quiet today, flight to Bangkok was very quiet, and Bangkok airport was about as quiet as I’ve ever seen it. Now I’m in a resort by the beach and the hotel said they were only at about 40% of capacity, whereas February of last year they were full every day.

When SARS hit 17 years ago China was 4% of world GDP. Now they represent 16%. I expect the fledgling China stock market to get hammered. Financial channels-CNBC, Bloomberg etc.-have been all covid19 non stop since the outbreak was made public. The markets have been attempting to price in the damage so far but this one has a long way to go. There is some speculation time wise that covid-19 could last through this year. Given interest rates are so low i'm thinking there is a lot of room for downward movement...but who knows

The head of the Wuhan hospital has died of COVID-19.

That's hateful! The Chinese have a 5000 year old history and actually man did not emerge in Africa but descends from the Peking man so please correct your history books.
Anyway, one of the main problems is the use of concentration camps for everyone showing fever or any flu symptoms. You amass people with various diseases together so if you only had WuPlague before, which is usually mild, you now also have TB and other respiratory illnesses. Actually, a true barbed wire concentration camp could more easily have been sectioned off to prevent spread.
Forced internment is ok if you have only a few cases and adequate medical resources but not in the case of China.
There are now talks of a quickly developed vaccine, I'd advise against it since last time when we got Bacon Fever the GSK vaccine ("Pandemrix") resulted in a large number of narcolepsy cases, especially among the young. Wait for version 2.0.

At the very least, this is a strong reminder for manufacturers to diversify their supply chains and not to rush to the lowest common denominator of picking the absolute cheapest labor market to make things without a backup plan for the inexorable tomfuckery of some of these cultures where they operate in.Sonic1 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 19, 2020 2:00 amWhen SARS hit 17 years ago China was 4% of world GDP.

Best case scenario, China and the G7 throw tons of money to prop up the market and wait the virus out. Worst case scenario is a severe recession, with some countries like Japan and Korea getting nailed most hard.

I know this is off-topic but your comment was very interesting as it was only last night that I watched a documentary on the hidden history of New Zealand.
I don't think that we all descended from Africans or Chinese but there was evidence of the Chinese being in New Zealand as far back as the 1400s. A huge junk like boat was found and the wood was carbon dated. There are also Daoist carvings inside rock caves.
There is quite a lot of evidence that Chinese from the Yellow River (close to Taiwan) sailed through the Pacific and some of the Pacific Islanders are genetically related to them.
BUT, there are also stories all over the region of red headed people (Celts?) and golden haired people being there when other tribes arrived - including the maori.
Maui, who is the "'father'" of the Pacific was most likely Egyptian. If only the Holy See hadn't burnt the Library of Alexandria down we might know more.

Is Kiwi TV naive enough to mention this? Soon the "9 dash line" will be rerouted on the maps to include Kiwiland.

This has been disproven through the Human Genome Project - analysing the DNA from samples taken from 12,000 living Chinese have been compared to samples from the Peking Man fossils. The evidence has proven that the Peking Man has no living descendants among modern Chinese. The human genome project shows that all modern Chinese are direct descendants of a new species of modern humans that formed in Africa.
The research showed that all evolutionary branches from the species that Peking Man came from eventually died out: the last, the European Neanderthals, perhaps as recently as 35,000 years ago.
Africa however has continued the evolutionary chain in which new species have created along the way, until it finally produced what we have today - man as we know it or Homo sapiens.
The idea you have put forward (that Peking Man is the direct ancestor of the modern Chinese) was proposed by patriotic Chinese claiming that the Chinese were ‘the Earth’s most ancient original inhabitants’. This was proposed before we could sequence the human genome. THere are sections of the Chinese state establishment that still maintain this notion today.

Is Son Loi, about 40km from Hanoi, the only place in Vietnam currently locked down through corona? Any rumors spreading in Phu Quoc?
It's a great time to be in Thailand, feels like 10 years ago.Miguelito wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 10:42 pmAirport was pretty quiet today, flight to Bangkok was very quiet, and Bangkok airport was about as quiet as I’ve ever seen it.
