2 in Bavaria, might be connected to the same infected Chinese person on a business trip to Germany. Press coverage is a bit spotty but they both worked for the same company it seems that had a 3rd woman come over who was diagosed when he returned in China, if I parsed the reports correctly. Correction: now it is 4 people all working for the same company, I hope no one of you works for Webasto. Hopper fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Jan 29, 2020 |

Nah I meant more because of claims that it doesn't have to do with the fish market and they obfuscated the real source/timeline.

Golli posted:Here's an interesting thought experiment. If that happened, I think the more interesting question is what would countries do? I mean they would probably immediately stop any air traffic to China (which Germany and France still allow) or maybe even all international air traffic, and more borders would be closed. As for people in other countries, I don't think they would do much different, there are already racist reaction to Asians all over the places at this point, people have started buying masks etc.

Sten Freak posted:My parents are taking the family on a cruise in June and honestly it's the first thing I thought of when this flu started hitting the news. If it is that bad, they will likely have to cancel the cruise as governments prohibit international travel and you will get your money back. Which is good because if it comes that far, you will need it to buy basic things once prices go through the roof.

I think I am going to stock up on non-perishables a little. Not because of fear of corona but because this whole thing made me realize we simply don't have a reasonable amount of stock in general and you never know what could keep you from leaving your home for some time.

RichardA posted:Singapore has multiple case in which they can not track the source to other cases or travel to china. Concerning as that means there are infectious cases undiagnosed in the community. All those air passengers going abroad fro. Wuhan had to get home somehow. And more likely than. And the answer is likely by public transport. Which is not only true for Singapore but extremely likely there given the policies around driving.

Some parts of TCM actually make sense, as they are basically natural remedies. My guess is they try to bolster their immune system with natural ingredients same as we do in the west for example.

So question, this Westerdam ship wasn't allowed to dock anywhere in Asia yet managed to have an infected American woman on board. Do we know where she got it? I can't find any article that says where the ship docked. So how did the virus get on board?

Yeah don't worry. Your armed-to-the-teeth Nazi militias will start culling the infected much sooner. Plus I don't think any kind of insurance matters once the medical system collapses and that's probably at around what...5 million infected?

So Italy. Apparently they had traced the firs tinfection to a business man who went home from China and infected an amateur sports guy. This guy then infected his pregnant wife and partook in several running events went to pubs etc and probably spread it that way. Only it turns out the businessman had the ordinary flu, so they are now back at square one. (According to an article in Süddeutsche Zeitung of today). And Italy is a very popular holiday and skiing destination from Munich, which has a sizeable population wealthy enough to go there for a weekend etc. As a local, I'd estimate chances are we already have cases here that we don't know about yet. Especially since many people drive down to Italy, Venice carnival was going to take place these days etc. Let's see

2 new cases in Germany according to this morning's news, also 1 US military dude in South Korea. 1 of the German cases is an older guy who is already in critical condition, so he probably was ill for some time before he was diagnosed.

And we have 7 new cases in Germany as of Tuesday. One guy was infected by another because they had contact at a carnival celebration apparently. Judging by the average number of people crowded at carnival dos we are probably hosed...

Tbf it is less about getting infected and the apocalypse and more about compensating for realistic short term consequences such as reduced supermarket stocks or inability to go shopping.

And we have to 14 new cases in Germany. Probably thanks to that rear end in a top hat who went to a carnival thing with 300 guests despite having a fever. Corona or not, who the hell feels poo poo, has a fever and decides "hey let's go to this party"....

We are getting more and more cases in Germany from people who were on holiday in Italy but Sweden has a woman who caught it on holiday in Germany. Which means it must be even more prevalent here then we thought. My guess is there are hundreds of very mild cases already spreading it all over the place. It makes zero sense that Munich doesn't have a new case already, there are hundreds of people going to Italy from here every weekend. I give it until Monday at most.

When shopping today I saw both pasta and hand sanitizer where unavailable in several shops. Funny thing is people see no pasta and start panick buying. Guess what, there is no more pasta because it is all produced in italy and driven here by truck, from the affected regions where production is halted. Not because the world is ending. But this is how panic flares up.
