it’s affecting 3 cities now: Zehou and Huanggang are in quarantine. Bejing cancelling new years celebration - others being told to, also. Don’t know what kind of ‘decontamination gas’ is being sprayed in streets in Wuhan, but that’s also being reported.
NKorea banning Chinese tourists (!) as is the British govt.
Vector is bats to snakes to humans? Are bats and snakes biting chickens or something?
It’s a fast mutator. Current mortality 1 in 1,000. The doctor who originally began work on identifying the pathogen is now sick but recovering.

Chinese are probably eating the snakes and/or bats.
real curious as to what ‘decontamination gas’ kills snakes? and does it work on rattlers?
That’s all the mortality rate is?
