Bit of talk at the moment about it potentially coming from a lab in Wuhan..surely impossible to know for sure. Does have a chernobyl type feel to it.
That came out ages ago. Of course China denies it caused the outbreak, but the media suggest there is a huge biochemical weapons lab in Wuhan
There is a BSL‑4 level biosafety lab in Wuhan, but that conspiracy nutter's bookmark, zerohedge.com tried to link the two.
Even if true, the best you can say is of all the dangerous pathogens it could leak, this one is killing about as many people as the common flu...

@taniwharugby IMO she's correct. But I temper that with the belief that the fewer mainland Chinese infesting the countryside, the better.

I'm in Palmy with the fam to visit my old lady. Wife flew in to meet us here from Singapore. She felt a bit sick today like a cold coming on, so just went over to the Dr across the road.
They got shitty with her and have stuck her in a mask and isolated her because she came from Sing. 😨 -

Chatting with some random at Okoroire Pub yesterday evening, can't remember why, but one asked if I'd been in China recently... my response of “actually, yes”... went down a treat.
Was that the guy you coughed on?

You didn't tell the doctor she's an ESOL teacher in Wuhan and loves a good bat and pangolin mixed grill? Schoolboy error, I take back my earlier praise.

Guy was way paranoid. -

A friend has been stuck at his in-laws' home in Fujian on lock down for four weeks.
That's how they plan to fix things
Good strategy, those murders won’t be counted toward the disease.

600 cases now in Korea and borders with Iran being closed as they've likely got 100's of cases, hard to see this not becoming a full pandemic in the next few weeks.
Lets see if the boss will let me work from home going forward, I feel lucky not having contracted the bubonic plague from our mens toilets as it is, coronavirus might be a bridge too far.

Stop watching zombie movies. More people would've contracted the flu.

Of course they would, and now you have this issue on top of that with all the extra quarantines, fever testing, disinfecting, public transport coughing paranoia, panic buying etc.
If you can work from home and maybe avoid some of the madness why the hell not?
