Cruise lines are still running and Caribbean says they haven’t cancelled any cruises.

There is no way in hell I would go on a cruise right now.

How many years will it take the world to trust China again assuming the CCP will survive this oops moment, with what looks like a Dr. Evil altered virus.

Will this be the equivalent of a Pearl Harbor, or Holocaust event.

Once again showing the rumors, myths and outright lies are far worse then the disease.

Invoke logic tweety and follow it to its conclusion. There are companies in the US and Canada losing $10k a day waiting for a $10 part from china, 10,000 miles away behind a communist curtain. Imagine a scenario where internal unrest happens, or a huge natural disaster, or the next outbreak. 3 have come from there now.

You don't think companies aren't going to look at diversifying their supply chains now. Even if it doesn't come home to the US, it will be split to more than one country now. Guaranteed. The china experiment is over.

Do you think the mutations are a natural evolution.

Yes I should of have waited for more facts, but it would just turn into a another cut and paste battle, more my scientists against your scientists, however this story is a rarity, as facts aren't as important because the jeanie is out of the bottle relating to peoples opinion on the origin of this mutant virus.

The reason being the CCP have an atrocious record when it comes to human rights and validity of information, government related.

Let me compare it to someone who is charged with child molesting, even if you're found innocent by the courts, all subsequent crimes against children will raise suspicion towards you by some people.

The people's opinion, be it right or wrong, will decide.

Your talking about the way the CCP and most of the ROW Leaders are handling controlling WuFlu?

Risk is very low.

Till it's not.

Basically none will test if you haven't been on an airplane.

Reminds me of those spewing climate catastrophe b/s ...

After being the manufacturing capital of the planet for many decades now, it should not surprise us that even our death is now "Made In China"

Wife was at Costco this week, did stock up on a few things just in case. They are disinfecting carts at the door, she said everybody is hoarding and had people discussing what was in her cart and then leaving the lineup to go get more supplies. I guess the shelves were empty of Kleenex and toilet paper yesterday and was a report of a tussle over the last tp package.

Alberta now has its first case in the Calgary area. I drove through Calgary today, should I worry??? Lol.

First world health system vs Coronavirus = 0.6% mortality rate.

You guys calling for 400M deaths are going to look pretty foolish in a few months.

https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/health-environment/article/3065187/coronavirus-south-koreas-aggressive-testing-gives Coronavirus: South Korea’s aggressive testing gives clues to true fatality rate

World Health Organisation Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Tuesday said the global mortality rate from Covid-19 recorded so far was about 3.4 per cent, higher than previous estimates - though this figure was accompanied by caveats that the rate could be lower when more was known about the disease.

Yet in South Korea, where the country’s Centres for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday reported 6,088 cases and 40 deaths, the mortality rate appears to be hovering around 0.65 per cent.

While this is still several times more lethal than seasonal influenza, which kills about 0.1 per cent of the people it infects – 30,000-40,000 people in the US alone each year – South Korea’s rate is far lower than that seen elsewhere.
