The coronavirus is not new there have been at least seven outbreaks in the last 150 years.

The worrying part is that three of those outbreaks happened this Century: Sars, MERS and the current nCoV - 19. The reassuring part is that nCoV - 19 does not appear to be as virulent as The Blue Soldier (formerly The Spanish Flu) of 1918 - 20. The causes range from habitat loss to consumption of exotic animals.

The Blue Soldier started at Ft Riley in Kansas, but that's only part of the story. The surrounding land was once open grassland where buffalo roamed. The bison were slaughtered and the land converted to feed lots for the beef industry - fertile breeding ground for pathogens to mutate. The Blue Soldier eventually killed more humans than WW I.

This Century saw three outbreaks (SARS, MERS and nCoV - 19) all from consumption of exotic animals. SARS from bats, MERS from camels and now it increasingly looks like nCoV - 19 derives from traditional Chinese medicine. We know about the use of rhino horn to increase virility and supposedly boost the immune system (as yet unproven) but what uses are there for the pangolin? They are also been wiped out by Chinese medicine, it's scales are ground and drunk with water. Now it is believed but not yet confirmed that nCoV - 19 is a mutation from pangolin scales.

They are native to the Philippines and Indonesia.

Nobody mentions the stage 4 bio lab in Wuhan has the source of releasing the virus but they sure could tell MSM that its a POSSIBILITY it came from a Pangolin that the Asians have been eating without issues for centuries as a culprit??

Its starting to emerge form Asian news outlets that the virus had been confirmed as coming from North American labs and stolen from Chinese lb techs and brought back to China to be studied as a bio weapon. Seems like they got it correct and didint know the result would be this drastic?

EXACTLY!

There is a reason we sent military planes over to pick up a bunch of people to bring back in the first place! And this fucking IDIOT decides to hop on a civilian plane and endanger thousands of people????

Air travel MUST be stopped! Thats the only way to stop it from reaching far away countries.
I don't think it is realistic to expect to be able to avoid a global pandemic. We are all going to get it or at least be exposed to it sooner or later.

One can argue, that later is better, as we will know more about the disease, and eventually develop a vaccine.

If the US did make it, that would make me feel a bit better about the US & Canada’s lack of interest and action to date.

Maybe they’re sitting on the vaccine, or treatments. Maybe put the squeeze on China for a while to get them back in line. Let the virus run rampant in Africa and Asia to cull the population a bit. Wait for China to “surrender” and sell them the vaccine?

All Serie A games in Italy could be suspended, the COVID - 19 virus is spreading.

The WHO is dumbfounded as to why Italy is being hit so hard - it's not that hard to figure out. The PRC and Italy have had closer ties in the last decade with a number of Italian boutique firms now under Chinese ownership. Also Italy is the No. 1 destination for Chinese tourists outside of Asia. Now that there has been two corona virus outbreaks this Century - China has to reassess their traditional medicine.

How bad is it, the Venice Carnival has been cancelled.
