...and CNN can't understand why they're considered a parody news source now.....

They have an article slamming Trump because his Corona Virus response team isn't made up of the best and brightest minds available....

Wait, no..... They're complaining that it isn't "diverse" enough.....

Seriously......

Friend in Shanghai tells me that residents are getting cabin fever. He sent me photos 3 days ago of the street below his 10th floor apartment. Not a person or vehicle to be seen.

Now people are out and about. Not the usual amount.

"Starting Sunday at 5 p.m. ET, all passengers on flights to the United States who have been in Hubei province in China in the last 14 days will be subject to up to 14 days of quarantine. The city of Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak, is located in Hubei."

Just received an email this morning. My company has suspended all travel to and from China, all China based joint operation areas are not coming into work, ban is effective for 3 weeks as of now.

We receive a lot of parts and tooling from China, this will really put a strangle on manufacturing companies in the US if logistics are suspended.

Admittedly, I'm not well informed about this virus but, can it survive a trip on a "slow boat" from China and does it only survive in a live host?   IOWs, is it possible for the virus to contaminate products, survive and still be viable upon reaching our shores?   Probably not but, the thought crossed my mind.

After being detained and forced to sign a letter saying he was wrong about the virus, he died of the virus.

I suppose his official obituary says he fell down some stairs (or drowned in a boating accident).   crazy2

I dont believe a strain could last on a product crossing the rather large lakes into the US without a living host, but it does go to say that an outbreak can be detrimental to a country's economy. More of a reason for the origin country to keep the true impact of the outbreak out of the spotlight?

Sounds like China is finally going to let WHO scientists come over early next week.   Some confusion as to whether they are going to allow any US scientists in.   Hopefully we'll get some better information soon...

https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/08/health/coronavirus-hospital-infections-frieden/index.html


EDIT:  It is now being reported that NO American scientists will be allowed into China with the WHO team of "international scientists".  What's up with that?   

Not to worry, our communist friends have it under control.

I spoke with my niece in England today. She is a senior nurse. Told me of a male who went to visit his local doctor. The male wasn't feeling 100%.

Doctor asked him if he had recently been to China. He replied in the affirmative.

Now the doctors offices have to be sterilized and all the other patients and staff are to be quarantined at home for 2 weeks.

Stupid acts by stupid people.

Male was told to drive himself to the local hospital and was escorted by a police car.

He pointed out that a lot of prescribed medicines are manufactured in China and there is a big fear there that supply will be greatly reduced in the coming weeks.

Another stat that kinda raised my eyebrows.   75 cases in Singapore now.   That's the number reported when the virus was made public in China about a month ago.    Shocked

I knew a lot of stuff I purchased was made in China.  I knew but I did not know.

I did not know a lot of our medications were being made in China.  I was not aware, until a few years ago, of how many of our computers, controllers, ect. were being made in China.  

I now know.  I was at Lowes, buying some pine planks.  I elected to buy some that were pre-finished instead of just plan wood.  

When I got home and began cutting the boards to length, I noted the "Made in China" label on the product.  And it was not a sold piece of wood but composed of pieces glued together.  The price of the two were close.  

My point is, we have been kept sort of in the dark about how much stuff we consume, almost depend on, is not longer being made here.  

And yes, the Shite is getting real.  Real, real.
