Wuhan virus? under estimated?

just links to discussions.






so just an ordinary mutant virus from bats/snakes, or should we believe conspiracy theories?








this last podcast by Bill Gertz is really scary: 

Bill Gertz (@BillGertz), in re: The source of the Wuhan coronavirus: now clearly (according to The Lancet) not the wet market, so where? The Chinese governmental biolab smack in the middle of Wuhan city? And the first documented sick person seems not to have been in December, but in October. ..  a study by 29 Chinese scientists says: the first victim was on 1 Dec, and naught to do with the seafood market.

Most of these viruses (in the past) have originated in Guangdong; why is this one from the middle of the country?

But don't worry: The Chinese plan to spread disinformation that it was caused by the USA to deflect blame. 

The Communist regime is steeped in deception; rumors were circulating on the Chinese Net that the US was the origin!

and politics have made Beijing reject US help in fighting the virus: 

... The Director-General of WHO had a presser in Geneva today: “I will not allow any Americans in with the team” [even though US researchers are perhaps the best].

and the worst might be yet to come: 

It's now going from Hebei to Xinjiang. God help the million-plus Uyghurs and Kazakhs being held in concentration camps there. Unknown currently how lethal this is, but said to be at least as lethal as the 1919 pandemic.

the problem? Not all the early cases were in contact with the seafood market. LINK

UK Mail summary.

a lot of countries are shutting down travel, but not the Philippines, although travel visa from the Wuhan area are being stopped.

And there are some arrangements to bring home the OFW in Wuhan.\

BBC SUMMARY.

and since China has a lot of their workers in Africa, one shudders at the possible death rate when it reaches  countries with high rates of malnutrition/

The UKMail reports it already has reached Sudan


Me? I figure it's just as bad as ordinary flu (remember, 80 thousand folks in the USA died last year of ordinary flu), and hey, maybe it could be like the 1918 Spanish flu with 20 million dead (in an era without antibiotics and when a lot of people were malnourished from the war).

 Who knows?

and that is why folks are so hysterical about this.

and one geopolitical fallout from the virus:
