The markets watchdog, agricultural ministry, and forestry bureau said in a joint statement that China has banned wildlife trade nationwide in markets, supermarkets, restaurants, and e-commerce platforms due to the coronavirus outbreak, Reuters reports.

Any places that breed wildlife should be isolated, and the transportation of wildlife should be banned, said the statement. The ban will take effect from Sunday.

Bat soup is a dish in Palau, which is where all those viral videos came from. It's not commonly eaten in Wuhan or really most anywhere in China.

Urbanisation and affordable travel infrastructure should act as a multiplier on outbreak chance, at least. China is almost twice as urbanised as India.

apparently in thailand they have 8 cases so far (all tourists from Wuhan plus one Thai tourist to Wuhan) and so far five have fully recovered and three are still being treated, with no deaths

that's obviously a very small sample size but it suggests that the virus might be less deadly when medical institutions only have to treat a small number of isolated cases at once, and more deadly when resources get taxed like in Wuhan where they're running out of beds

which would be slightly encouraging for the rest of the world, but still just as bad news for China or anywhere that some, like, infected mcdonalds worker spreads it to a thousand people in one town before becoming symptomatic

quote:

JOHOR BAHRU: Two Chinese nationals who took their toddler, suspected to have been infected with the Wuhan virus, out of a public hospital in Johor to avoid quarantine, were detained at Senai International Airport, near Kulai on Saturday night (Jan 25).

Johor police chief Kamarudin Md Din said they were detained at about 9.20pm, while they were about to board a flight to China.

He said they were later referred to a hospital for further examination.

On Saturday, a copy of the police report filed by a doctor from a public hospital about the Chinese nationals who dodged quarantine on their two-year-old child went viral on social media.

Based on the police report, the toddler who had flu-like symptoms, was advised to be put under quarantine at the hospital.

The two-year-old patient who was referred to the hospital by a private hospital for flu-like symptoms, according to The Star.

The report added that a doctor had told the parents that the child had to be sent for quarantine at Hospital Permai and for further examination but the parents refused as they had to catch a flight the next day.

According to the New Straits Times, the parents had attempted to return to Wuhan and were detained after they tried to book a flight to their hometown.

The toddler has been brought back to the hospital and is in a stable condition, Malaysia's health ministry said in a statement on Sunday evening.

“(We are) still waiting for the laboratory results,” said Health Director-General Noor Hisham Abdullah.

In view of the current situation, the ministry said it would continue to step up efforts to prevent and control the novel coronavirus outbreak.

Suspected cases will be examined and referred to hospitals for sample collection and monitoring of symptoms.

Dr Noor Hisham warned that anyone who does not obey instructions will be jailed for a period of not more than two years or fined, or both, if convicted.

lol there's no containing it, doesn't matter, 14 days of showing no symptoms yet still being able to infect people means just about everyone in the world is going to get this unless some environmental condition (heat, cold, berder consumption) slows the rate of infection down enough



but what you CAN do is properly wash your hands (and under your fingernails!), don't jam your finger into your nose, ears, mouth, or around your eyes, and get your seasonal flu shot. it won't protect you from getting hit by this but it'll help in the future
