Quote: "The fight against the novel coronavirus took a turn for the worse on Wednesday night, as Chinese health officials in the Hubei province reported 242 new deaths and 14,840 new cases of the flu-like virus. That brings the worldwide death toll to at least 1,357 and the number of confirmed cases to more than 60,000."
Gentlemen, day before yesterday we were at the low 40's and now we're topping 60k. Run while you can! Now, this could be the result of a one time sweep through the city, but still. How many more cases will they find?
The figures are just exploding. Maybe weed can kill the virus? I'm currently in Shanghai but I'll probably exercise my privilege of a Western passport soon. I. e. take off from here.
Stock up on AK-47's, weed, rice, extra strong prahok and a mask.
Edit: Another credible site with links. It seems the sudden jump in number of cases is due to new reporting methods, but the people are probably still sick. And the number of deaths is probably also referring to actually dead people, so I'm still worried. A dead person is probably reported as a dead person regardless of the reporting standard.

I know it seems silly that so much importance is placed on what the official name is, but unfortunately given that the average global IQ is under 100, the naming is a big deal.LaudJohn wrote: ↑Wed Feb 12, 2020 6:59 pmThe WHO, being a solid bureaucratic NGO, has acted positively.
They have renamed the Corona virus to
COVID19
CO = Corona
VI = Virus
D = Disease
19 = The year it was discovered.
They proudly announced this at an international press conference.
They said ...
"The WHO chief said the name had been chosen to avoid references to a specific geographical location, animal species or group of people in line with international recommendations for naming aimed at preventing stigmatisation."
They also said there was a "realistic chance" of stopping the virus.
Good to see they are making real and meaningful progress.
Back in 2009, the H1N1 flu was also known as the swine flu -- officials in Egypt ordered over 100,000 pigs to be killed, even though the virus was not spread by pigs. And MERS has the words Middle East in the name, which led to a lot of racist problems. And now some Americans think there's a connection with the Mexican beer brand Corona.
So the standards are that it can't have a regional name (Wuhan Coronavirus 19), or animal (Bat or Snake coronavirus), and should be short and easy to say. So there goes my first choice of "WuBat Flu".
I don't think they hit the mark with "COVID19" though, that's not as easy to say as "SARS".
Have a change in definition and you get a bump in the results. Nothing more, calm your panic.

That does not surprise at all, after all early on in the campaigning for the 2008 election Primaries many 'mericans thought a US senator named Barak Obama was Osama Bin Laden.
That many 'mericans think there is a connection between Corona Virus and Corona beer is reflective of the level of intellectual capacity in 'merica. The smart ones are drinking way more Carona beer as they realize that the best defense to a virus is to already have exposure and hence have the anti bodies in their system.
If you do a check I think you will find that sales/consumption of Corona has increased in postcodes of the higher educational/house price demographics and has reduced in the postcodes of the the opposite demographics. So it should show that consumption is up on the West Coast and New England and down in the South (especially the Appalachians). Consumption will not have changes in Texas as they think they are a different country anyhow.
After all, not all 'mericans have an intellectual capacity akin to that of their President!
Note to self: Must be nice to morons.

The bike saddle comment from a member on the other thread, suggests you may be a fatty, so prone to a number of underlying conditions. If I were you, I'd start running..
Or swimming, or something.

The Vietnamese government has recently issued this text.
The Ministry of Health has issued guidance on medical isolation at home and in places of residence to prevent acute respiratory infections caused by Corona virus (nCoV). Access the detailed instructions at: https://bit.ly/2vi8onR. Thank you for joining hands to fight the nCoV epidemic.
Rather an unfortunate turn of phrase seeing it's one of the most prevalent ways of catching it.
