At a cheerleading completion this morning #Fatherhood. 9 judges, 3 Asian. Take a guess which 3 are wearing face masks.
Maybe they know something I don’t.

I’ve seen Asian people wearing masks when nothing is going on. They’re definitely not a YOLO people. Very risk-averse culture. I feel like everything I did between 15-40 had a 3% mortality risk on any given night. I kind of lost interest in the outbreak when I saw the mortality rate. Obviously you can pile up a lot of bodies at 3%, but I see people I know who are walking around at 300lbs or chainsmoke sweating this and I’m sitting there thinking that if they have to shovel snow tomorrow I might get down on a coronary event at 33-1.
Pandemics interests me because if it ever goes down, I see it going down that way before nukes or global warming, but it isn’t going to be this one.
This guy is sick of Xi’s bs

Well they shutting down Disney Hong Kong for a few days.....
I never realized this coronavirus is actually a virus found and affects many different animals and is not always talked about.
In other words it is not a new virus by a long shot but some how it became transferred to a human. I mean your cat can have it and it doesn't bother you so... someone weaponized this shizzle.
I don't know about that, would have to ask that white guy here always asking for money to free roll his life but in all seriousness.
There was a coronavirus animal-human in 2002 but not "deadly" per say this is why I am reading NEW coronavirus and a rare animal to human version. Can we believe it started in a fish market without the help of human intervention?
For as far as i was interested in this i picked up that it's not a random 3%. Some combination of preexisting conditions. Way it spreads it might end up sweeping quite a few people but for 90%ish of the infected it's just flu. It might mutate though, if it keeps running long enough.
UK NHS just sent out a department wide alert on how to deal with what is expected to be an absolute avalanche of bodies.
Shit - it’s real. It just got Kobe.
An Asian sneezed in the sauna today and I got the f out.
Just think: When 1/3 of Europe died in the 14th century due to the Black Death, the inevitable market pressure on wages given the drastic reduction in the labor force eventually drove up real wages by 50%. If per chance this viral outbreak takes out 200 million Chinese, the drastic reduction in the labor force there could eventually drive up the average real hourly wage enough to reduce China’s still-significant wage rate competitiveness versus that of the US.
Of course, if this were to somehow happen while Trump was still president, I’m sure that he would claim that China’s reduced economic competitiveness from such a catastrophic reduction in their labor force was due to his “hugely brilliant and excellently executed” trade war with China.
200M PEOPLE ? MUMBLES YOU REALLY ARE A MASSIVE RETARD LOL
US case #5, now in arizona.
Same here all over Vancouver, I had asked some one i knew why and they indicated it is worn as a courtesy when they or some one in there family has a air born virus. is actually a good idea and should be implemented by the Gwai lo, may save a few lives. but whites generally employ the if I'm sick or miserable i wasn't every one to be.
TBH, it sounds like much ado about very little. The death rate appears to be about 2% versus the much higher 10% rate for SARS, which is also a coronavirus. And the people who are dying from it are doing so because they overwhelmingly have an underlying health problem or weakened immune system, with most dying due to also contracting pneumonia.

So, I guess we’re not gonna see a realignment of real wages in China from this disease after all.
80 dead in china.
Dude, I’ve sometimes been spookily accurate at the projected death rates of catastrophic events. But that perception may be biased by my memory of a bet I offered a colleague of mine a few days after the 9/11 attacks. He had seen one of the towers fall that morning from a south-facing conference room in a Midtown skyscraper he happened to be in that day, and was still in a bit of a shock about it. He was sure that over 5000 people died in those attacks. I thought that was a way too high and said I’d take 3000 for $20 bucks. Sadly, he declined, because I think the count came out to be just shy of 3000. Oh, well. Would have been an easy 20 bucks.
the genome ends with 33 "a"s. this is statistically... unlikely.. to occur in something that isnt man made.
Fuck why did I go to Commerce?
Just saw the movie Contagion for the first time a couple of weeks ago and subsequently read some scary shot about pandemics. Yikes.
Great Movie.

counterpoint: As far as I've read, statistics have nothing to do with this functional part of the sequence. it is a very common type of ending for this kind of rna virus, which happen in nature all the time. It appears to signal the end of the strand, is involved in replication processes, or some such things or other. Can be 5 a's, can be 20, can be 33 as it is in this one. It's called polyadenylation.
Shit I have 2 six packs , I bought 2 months ago? should I toss them?
first case in germany.
also US CDC traced it to contaminated bat meat from a bat breeder near by.
also lets take a deep breath and consider that there are bat breeders in china who sell their wares as food.
really savor that.
