A new respiratory illness, not SARS, appears in China

[Odinson]

These aggressive diseases are natures way to cull the population..



Rodents get a disease when they become too numerous.. The disease kills almost all of them.

You might want to log out of your upcoming trip to Taiwan!  There's a good possibility you'll contract this deadly disease, and may even bring it back with you, killing you, your family, and spreading it throughout your community also.



There is no help.  There is no cure.  Painful death is the only outcome.

Taiwan has no recorded cases of the virus so far..



It's almost impossible for Chinese to get visas for Taiwan.

The first case of the coronavirus  in the US. In Washington state.

Chinese New Year begins Saturday..



Hundreds of millions of people in Asia will be on the move which makes the chances of it spreading far more likely.

Remember, those silly paper masks you Asians like to wear, do absolutely nothing for airborne pathogens of this nature...

viruses are also spread by touch. They are not just airborne.

Yet, Calgary is basically sold out of surgical masks, and it's not just East Asians buying them.

For health reasons, I'm reluctant to travel to China.



A person never knows what they might catch there.



I suppose the health authorities need to contain it & find a vaccine before it's safe to travel there again.



When was the last SARS outbreak? 10 to 15 years ago?



So once they figger out a way to bring this virus under control, China may be safe for another 10 years until the next virus comes along.



But in the meantime, China may not be safe for travel for another 2years.



I'm not a big fan of Chinese culture or food. So I kin live without it.



Not a fan of Tsing Tao beer either.



Best just to eat locally grown food for the time being.



Nothin' from Asia for a while tho.

I don't like China, but I commend authorities there for the extraordinary measures they have taken to control the spread of the virus..



That would not be possible in a liberal democracy like Taiwan.

Western authorities dont have the balls to isolate cities..



They would just say that the spead cant be stopped... Even though it can..

Taiwan, Japan and South Korea are the same Odi..



If the virus had started in a liberal democracy it would already be a global pandemic.

High ranking Chinese doctor thinks this corona virus may be worse than SARS:

China is doing a lot better job this time of containing the spread..



I remember when SARS was beginning, China refused to acknowledge it was a problem.

I do not see this coronavirus taking as many lives as SARS did. The world has learned a lot about stopping the spread in the last sixteen years or so.



But, what I do not get is why a broke sixty year old gay curious stalking virgin gives a shit. He aint got the money to travel. Even if he did, he would be arrested for criminal harassment if he tried to exit the country.
