Wonder what else was released from that lab? Intentionally or unintentionally. Either way, it was just a matter of time there was a breach.
Think the population of NYC and LA combined. Yikes.
They could keep the utilities and services going if they required the workers to stay 24/7 on the job site. But what to do with waste water? Water could come in but what to do with the waste water?
Guessing their grocery stores are much like the US where they would be empty in 3 days. Guessing from the size of their homes, there isn’t much space to have had any preps. Food can be delivered to a pick up spot outside the city but to be safe, they would have to have a new spot every day.
Hospitals will quickly run out of supplies. Pharmacies rely on daily deliveries of meds.
Hope they’ve shut down the schools. Frankly, all but emergency companies should be closed and people stay home. If food and supplies are delivered, would people feel safe to go to the distribution point?
Mortality rate of coronavirus is 34% according to WHO. 14 day incubation.
Mortality rate of Ebola is 90%. And the CDC has the nerve to say they don’t know how it is transmitted. 21 day incubation.
Why is the world more afraid of coroavirus than Ebola? Perhaps we aren’t being told everything.
“Mortality rate of coronavirus is 34% according to WHO. 14 day incubation.”
Do you have a link for the 34% figure?
Everything to date has said 2%.
I think about that all the time.
Sadly, reality always rears its ugly head.

CDC says 35%
Someone on another thread had the 34%.
Ah yes, the MERS strain.
It’s different than the Wuhan strain, and could be more, or less deadly. We don’t know.
We don’t know its origin and with 14 day incubation we don’t yet know for sure just how deadly it is.
What we do know is that China’s first BSL-4 facility is in Wuhan and its purpose is to study zoonotic pathogens.
And we know the Chinese government is taking such extraordinary steps at containment that the world has never seen. And we know all the med people are wearing Level 4 bio hazard suits.
They were paying a bunch for masks in Hong Kong.
OK, it’s the SARs strain. Found a 2013 report of 5-7% mortality.
Then why the blazes is China in a panic and countries around the world are banning flights? It’s second only to the Impeachment over on CNN’s page.
Well, for a few reasons that are known...
1. 14 day incubation makes it very hard to track and harder to contain.
2. It appears to move between people very easily.
3. Even if mortality is only 2%, that’s 20x the average flu. Literally 10s of millions could die. Even 100 million.
And with all zoonotic viral leaps, it could mutate further. And become as bad as SARS or MERS.
And it could be a bio weapon from that lab.
