Anyone wants to risk a bet on the eventual number of sick people? Dead people?

Doesn't appear to be man made at all. Here is a link to the rushed paper that insinuated just that:

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.30.927871v1

It's still downloadable. At first those "HIV" inserts seem dubious. (Page-4, translated RNA-> protein sequence of SARS vs. coronavirus)

The authors focused on those inserts. All of the blue are also variation. It looks natural to me but don't take my word for it, read the comments from the other scientists who are laughing the paper out of publication.

Latest Study Suggests The New Coronavirus Is Also Spreading Via Feces. How bad will this spread in India and SF?

"Five British citizens contracted the virus in the French Alpine town of Contamines-Montjoie"

(You can't make up the name of this place. )

"Eleven Britons are thought to have been infected by a man who caught the virus in Singapore then went to France and the UK."

This thing seems to be spreading like wildfire.

I've heard it has spread much more than anyone knows through the 3rd world because there is no testing..

Looks like the world will be feeling China’s pain shortly.
I personally will be affected as my job depends on shipping from China.

I talked to a dad on the baseball team I coach last night, he said they are running out of inventory (auto parts) and their chinese factory has been shut down for two weeks.

Looks like the worst case scenario for economic disruption is in play.

Yet still another reason why we need to make everything in USA.

My company can't ship any hardware this month because our modems are built in China. We will probably miss our Q1 forecast due to this delay.

We are definitely re-thinking our supply chain plans.

We already have Typhus, Hepatitis, and Leprosy.

Just jumped from 45k cases to 60k.
183   mell   2020 Feb 12, 5:00pm  

The Chinamen owned up to the testing problem, but they simply labeled all pneumonias dxed via CT as CV cases to come closer to the real number of infections. Still this thing is overblown like nothing else. The majority of cases are so mild that we may indeed have more than we think and still the infection rates outside of Wuhan have been declining. While the supply chain problems are real, this is still a nothing-burger compared to the yearly influenza. I also suspect these "news" are used by short-sellers who have been desperately trying to bring the market down while getting their asses handed on a daily basis if you except the first few CV panic days. And that - while I do acknowledge there is quite some fluff in select stocks in this market - I don't support.

Publicly traded?

Short before the earnings call.

Latest Study Suggests The New Coronavirus Is Also Spreading Via Feces.

Just like cholera, the disease of the poor.
186   Heraclitusstudent   2020 Feb 12, 10:01pm  

"Fatalities in Hubei climbed by 242, while the number of infections jumped by 14,840, sending the total number of cases in China toward 60,000."

"The number of officially diagnosed coronavirus cases in the Chinese province of Hubei surged by 45% to nearly 50,000 after the Hubei provincial government began adding cases that were confirmed via imaging scans, alongside those confirmed with the previous method of nucleic acid testing kits.

The abrupt spike reversed the declining growth trend of previous days. The Hubei national health commission said it would now start including cases confirmed by “clinical diagnosis,” which refers to using CT imaging scans to diagnose patients."

It’s naive to think the novel coronavirus was from eating bats or snakes or the sea food market like the Chinese government claimed.

“The CDC has been eager to help China in its efforts to fight this outbreak. Nearly six weeks after the CDC first offered to help China with the coronavirus outbreak, the offer still has not been accepted.”

China is hiding 💩. That’s why they don’t want outsiders to come in to help. They’re afraid people would know that they were making bioweapon, and it leaked out.

Only a Chinese cat would allow that.

People should stop focusing on the number of deaths and instead look at how China has greatly reduced its greenhouse emissions.

I dunno, how much carbon and methane is produced by burning all those bodies?
197   Shaman   2020 Feb 18, 12:03pm  

Sure, just rub some essential oils on it!

Facts are considered racist now.

Looks like situation is out of control in Italy, Iran, South Korea and Japan.
Virus 1 - Humanity 0.
202   Heraclitusstudent   2020 Feb 23, 10:52pm  

It also looks like the economic damage will go increasing. Airlines will be grounded in places. Factory and school closed. People quarantined at home.
203   Patrick   2020 Feb 24, 8:09am  

Stock market is definitely ill with Corona virus.

This could be good in the long term, as people see the advantages of strong borders and local production.
204   Shaman   2020 Feb 24, 8:55am  

Traffic at the port has slowed to a crawl. Factories remain shuttered in China. Companies over here are running out of inventory.
This could be a black swan event.
205   RC2006   2020 Feb 24, 9:39am  

Should show that manufacturing some basic stuff should be a matter of national security. We should be making all of our own components, tools, and machinery.
206   Heraclitusstudent   2020 Feb 24, 10:51am  

Apparently new cases are popping up in Italy or Japan and no one knows why, or what's the link with China.
Given this is the case, there may be millions infected, like, soon.
I'll venture a prediction: there will be cases popping up like this in the Bay Area within 2 weeks.

There were one or more patient zeros in Italy who traveled to China and likely brought it back. Parts of Italy are full of Chinese. They need to aggressively contain it now and it looks like that's what they're doing. The US has the big advantage of controlling all the ports of entry. I don't think it will spread here.
