Not bad, the western experts reckoned a snake rather than a bat would be the source, this reptile chappy is pretty close.

Meanwhile the movie '"Contagion" is in the iTunes UK top 10 movie downloads this week. Masochists.

The most trafficked animal in the world. Maybe this will cut demand.

It's actually a mammal similar to an armadillo

Damn, I love pangolins. A perfectly beautiful creature that humanity has manage to find some way to defile yet again.

I can't imagine a creature that eats ants for survival sounds all that appetising.

Wuhan facing 'wartime conditions' as global coronavirus deaths reach 724

With businesses around the world suffering, Beijing tightens controls

Sat 8 Feb 2020 03.55 GMT

Increasingly desperate officials in the quarantined epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak have tightened controls on an already frightened population, likening the growing crisis to “wartime conditions”.

Authorities in Wuhan city have started going door to door checking temperatures, and rounding up suspected coronavirus patients for forcible quarantine in stadiums and exhibition centres that are serving as warehouses for the sick, the New York Times reported. The city and country face “wartime conditions”, the paper quoted vice-premier Sun Chunlan, who has been put in charge of the national campaign against the virus, as saying on a visit to Wuhan. She said: “There must be no deserters, or they will be nailed to the pillar of historical shame forever.”

Latest case in Vietnam was one of the group that went to Wuhan. Came back a few weeks ago.
Tested positive yet is totally fine. No fever / cough / anything.

Did your CIA mate verify these reports?

Tbh means nothing until 14 days have passed after the first confirmed test.

I don't have a CIA mate.

There is a tool you can make use of, whenever you like, if you like. Trust me, it is revolutionary...about 15 years a go but still...you gotta learn these things

Here is a "how to"...

It's really fascinating.

The New York Times is interesting as well. Maybe you should have a read?

Next! :pac:

You made the claim buddy. Repeatedly. You've been asked to link your source and you refuse.

If it's that easy to find, stick a link in here. Unless of course what you are referring to doesn't actually support your claim.

I'll be waiting.

You were already dismissed "buddy". Do your own homework.

Just wondering if there has been any unconfirmed reports at the UHG in Galway as the town is going to be packed for tomorrow for the opening 2020 celebrations, thinking of staying away from it and staying indoors.

I think the weather might be more reason to stay indoors. I think the organisers are meeting this morning to determine the impact the weather will have on the opening ceremonies and any changes necessary. With high winds, spring tides of 5m+ and heavy rain forecast there might be some disruption.

Had they been in quarantine since arriving?

Nope. They arrived back from Wuhan on the 17th January which was before this really became a thing. (this thread was started on the 22nd)
Most of the others are sick and all are in quarantine. She got tested a couple of days ago and came back positive even though she feels fine.

There is no credible link on google. You said the CIA has confirmed China has a bioweapons lab. This would be the biggest news this week, if the CIA had made such claim in any official capacity. If it is only internal info how did you get the clearance to be informed?

I think you can see how increadably stupid this makes you look.
Post the link and regain credibility.

This is a strange virus. Wonder if one of them had the virus since arriving but like the female, didn’t feel sick. Which means they may have been in contact with random people since.

08-02-2020 08:09AM

Jeez lads, move on from the CIA stuff. Believe it, don’t believe it, laugh at it like many other conspiracies that have been posted.

Be like Elsa!

Four people in that area went to Wuhan. One of them infected three family members, one of whom was 16. Eighteen people they know are in quarantine.

Unlucky family. Having a third of the country's confirmed between them.

08-02-2020 08:16AM

Here’s hoping they all recover.

Current world data for outbreak. Although I reckon the official Chinese figures are unlikely to reflect the full seriousness of the current situation.

People need to stop "presenting at hospital" with a suspected case of borderline pandemic virus.

Self isolate. Stay at home and call your doctor, then let them advise and assist.

If people can't follow that basic advice, perhaps Darwinism needs to run its course.

Or travel back from China in recent days without advising the authorities on arrival.

This is the selfish bit that really annoys me.

This is part of the guidleines published by HSE very clearly and printed on the breaking news website. go to breakingnews.ie and the header at the top " coronavirus" HSE is acting on WHO and world/European guidelines and all si well provided for,

Cannot post links on my machine so maybe someone could, to set folks ' minds at rest on this?

It is under control here and provisions are in place. And yes, we can all protect ourselves and our familes; masks, strict hygiene etc,

And please, keep an eye out for any old folk alone near you? Gale and ?? snow?? ahead and they will need shopping etc. And they will be worried too

I'd be very worried about those 'severe condition' cases.
Those are the ones that may turn into far higher mortality when hospitals are stretched as it continues to spread.

Need numbers of those who have died from viral pneumonia asap now and for previous years so we can see how big the change is from normal

Someone who responded to that tweet made a good observation. If we had total number of daily deaths in China now, from any cause, a comparison could be made with daily death totals in other years. I wonder are those kind of statistics available.
Edit. Snap. I see you edited to make similar point
