@canefan My brothers back in NZ for a few days. In the last 5 weeks he's visited NZ, Oz, Singapore, Dubai, Qatar, Saudi, Finland, Germany , UK. Sat on a flight from Dubai to Sin next to a Chinese guy who coughed over him for 10 hours. Next day he had a fever and was coughing himself. He's still coughing. He's been to Europe and now NZ with the cough. No one has asked him about it. He may have had corona - he doesn't know. All he knows is he was poleaxed by a bad flu.
Not only did he sit next to a man that was clearly ill, someone in his office has been confirmed with CV.
Meanwhile everyone entering his office building has their temperature checked as they come into the lobby and again every two hours but somehow a guy who was feverish and coughing has had no tests done on him.
Ummm yeah, probably worth him checking himself out...I wouldn't be reliant on 'officials' to do their job properly.
I had flu like symptoms after my recent NZ holiday, went to the doctors in Melbourne just-in-case when in a normal situation I wouldn't bother. Got asked 3 times in the appointment if I'd been to China on my holiday, after 3 negatives he diagnosed me with some sort of viral infection and recommended bedrest. Clearly they are on reasonably high alert.
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

Yeah I think zerohedge got banned off of twitter for saying it. Now other outlets seem to be picking it up..looking forward to their bannings too...

They got banned for blaming a particular doctor and placing his contact info in the story

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.

It was more of a bloody vom-spit-cough.
Guy was way paranoid.
