Coronavirus is what happens when you add deadly traits too quick before waiting for more spread. Border closures...

Will this virus make fast zombies or slow zombies?

Both I hope, the younguns need more practice, but the slow ones are like the easy setting on Xbox. Gotta have the fast ones to make it sporting and get the adrenal glands pumping, and to keep PETA and the ASPCA from lobbying to make Z’s a protected species.

Coronavirus -- getting close to home

A second U.S. case of the new coronavirus has been confirmed in a patient in Chicago, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.


The patient, a woman in her 60s and a Chicago resident, had traveled to Wuhan, China, in December. She was admitted to the hospital and is in stable condition, according to Illinois health officials.


“We understand that some people are worried about this virus and how it may impact Americans,” Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases said at a Friday news briefing.


“The immediate risk to the U.S. public is low at this time,” Messonnier said.

Wuhan has a bio weapons research facility that has most of the worlds deadly viruses in stock. The ChiComs are working on genetically specific bio-weapons to eliminate certain folks and not others. Coincidence? Maybe...but I wouldn't put it past the ChiComs to weaponize their people or visitors to circulate a virus they wanted to kill the rest of the world with. Right now the death rate is at about 3%...more than the Spanish Flu. I wouldn't put it past them to get it wrong either...unintended consequences.

"A laboratory in Wuhan is on the cusp of being cleared to work with the world’s most dangerous pathogens. The move is part of a plan to build between five and seven biosafety level-4 (BSL-4) labs across the Chinese mainland by 2025, and has generated much excitement, as well as some concerns.

Some scientists outside China worry about pathogens escaping, and the addition of a biological dimension to geopolitical tensions between China and other nations. But Chinese microbiologists are celebrating their entrance to the elite cadre empowered to wrestle with the world’s greatest biological threats."

Im pretty sure folks that eat broth out of bat carcasses are perfectly capable of operating a lab with the highest Bio-Safety rating known to man! They’ll make Umbrella Corp look like a MedCheck.

New York Times reporting nearly 1300 confirmed cases in China, new fatality count is at 41.

I've been away for a few days. Not been following this.

It appears there is a surge in orders of airtight goggles, n95 and p100 masks. Higher dollar full face and half mask respirators with p100 cartridges are also selling at a higher rate.


P100 filters/respirator or masks are what you want if you don't have any. N95 is ok but not perfect. Don't forget protecting your eyes and other skin openings.

Which part? Most of it is intel gathered over the past few months. The 3% I got from the Casey Hendricks show while driving home from the airport after my latest deployment.

CDC Confirms Second US Coronavirus Case In Chicago, Monitoring 63 Other "Potential Cases"

Tennessee... and now Chicago. Officially too close to home.

Coming soon to West Lafayette, guaranteed...

At least we can all be confident of the good intentions, honesty and trustworthiness of the ChiComs.

Just heard that China is working to build a new hospital with thousands of beds... in a week.
