Coronavirus cluster at ‘work unit’ believed to be China’s cybersecurity agency in Beijing

First, Iran leadership, now Chinese intelligence center. Not bad.

Not saying this happened but just consider:

1. Without doubt, the coronavirus originated in the BSL-4 bio research lab in Wuhan, which is the only facility in the country that was designed for and used for exactly this type of research.

2. Such facilities employ a lot of young educated workers, the same type of young Chinese who have led the protests in Hong Kong and who have grown up in a China where prosperity comes from the limited form of capitalism that is permitted, not from the CCP.

3. First there was bird flu. Then last year half the country’s pigs died from a deadly virus, Asian Swine Fever. Now coronavirus. See a pattern here? Could someone be surreptitiously removing bioweapons from the lab for political purposes? Could the animal diseases have been a “warning shot”?

Probably just made-up coincidence and conspiracy theory on my part.

Thanks for the grammar link, but this was a made up pretend quote. How did I get it wrong, LOL?

"Hope it doesn’t hit India. They’d be in the 10-12% death rate territory."

It's my understanding is that we'll all (everyone in the world) eventually be 'exposed' to this, COVID-19 virus.
The hope is that a vaccine will be developed before it gets to you.

Am I wrong on this?

[hawkaw]

So is that a Photo of the members of the DU underground?

[Future Snake Eater]

Notice all the top Iranian people infected as well. Did they try to get the bioweapon and it got out? This all a planned event?

The Chinese are top-level technical advisors to the Iranians. It's highly likely it spread to Iran from those people.

At what point do we stop ALL flights into the U.S. and close our borders?

This might affect China's ability to censor every thought.

Stand by for a massive truth drop by Chinese citizens...

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

They believe this is the only existence humans have — no God and no afterlife — and it’s all about power. Grab what they can here and now.

Lord Voldemort: There is no good and evil. There is only power, and those too weak to seek it.

ROFL

A bit of irony here. The computer hackers are infected with a virus. They should get slammed with ransomware, too.

“...Did they try to get the bioweapon and it got out?...”

That’d be my guess. What a shame... couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of mullahs.

“...India. They’d be in the 10-12% death rate territory....”

Hard to say, as it APPEARS that it just takes out the already-frail for the most part. Are there any reports of normal healthy younger folks dying from it???

Either way, some little oriental commie pr*cks in white labcoats were playing with some nasty toys in the Bernie Sanders Utopia of ChiCom Land, mixing up some fun and games in Wuhan Town, so EVERYBODY could “Wang Chun Tonight”.

Whether it was a test run that got out of hand, an accidental release, or deliberate instructions to agents to “throw the vials in the streets” all over the world, it’s out now.

[Vermont Lt]

Now this is some panic porn I can buy into.

Note to self: Gotta clean those keyboards. LOL.

[Vermont Lt]

No, I honestly do not think its that “dastardly.”

Think about how these people communicate. Smart phones and computers.

These fools are not cleaning their screens and keyboards after meetings. And then they put those phones right up to their mouths.

Everything they touched in the last hour is now in their mouths and nose.

This is basic “call center” hygeine 101. When my agents would come to work, no matter if anyone was at their station before them or not—they would take out the high power disinfectant wipes and wipe down their entire work station. Then they would take paper towels and put them on their seats. At least the experienced ones would.

Closed spaces with computers are nasty zones.

Hands free is the way to go!

[TigerClaws]

Yes. There are reports of never-before-sick people in their 20s dying, though usually, it’s older and more vulnerable.

Forbes puts the global kill rate at 3.53%. India, the Middle East, and Africa would be much higher.

[Vermont Lt]

Honestly, reducing the number of people in a room with keyboards would save lives if this kills folks.

[Vermont Lt]

Sick people use their cell phones without thinking. They think because they have a mask on they are safe.

If they are not wearing gloves and cleaning their phones, they are sticking everything they touched into their faces.

Hygiene, hygiene, hygiene.....

[NFHale]

“..There are reports of never-before-sick people in their 20s dying...”

Thanks, I hadn’t heard that. That changes the ball game considerably.

So what is the actual cause of death? Pneumonia, like the pneumonic plague?

[DannyTN]

Cybersecurity agency, I wish them well.
Cyberhacking agency, Hate it for them!
