Wuhan Expats Fed Up With Foreign Media Hype

quote:

Many journalists have been posting in the group looking for people to comment. One from the UK’s Evening Standard got just that. It read, “How about doing articles on road accidents in Asia and ensuring the entire Asian media see them?”

Daniel Pekárek sized up the opinion of many a Wuhan expat today. “Seeing the reactions from outside world, especially in western media, racist, political comments and so on is so disgusting, people should stop this.”

Other requests from journalists have come from Australia, Italy, France, Canada, Ireland and the Philippines. Carr also asked whether there is any way to ban journalists from the group.

Just wondering, if you get exposed to the virus and recover you get immune to it right?

I think it's more like you 'level up' and can take on new viruses, Corona won't respawn

So is this actually a big one unlike SARS/bird flu/pig flu?

Who knows. It seems exceptionally virulent (long incubation while communicative, airborne, object persistent), with a pneumonia like mortality rate. It could get pretty no bueno.

But we don't have much info yet. All the conspiracies are not helping know what's accurate either

Not necessarily, having immunity to one virus can give you immunity to other related ones, such as with cow pox giving people immunity to small pox

People are singing and chanting 武汉加油!(Let's go, Wuhan!) out their windows. I also saw a clip of food trucks coming in and they had red banners across the front with that too. Supermarkets are overnight shipping supplies in from other cities in China, and the news of where / how to get food is easy to find on WeChat.

Have to agree with that article earlier on the expats reaction to the international coverage. Anyway, the singing out the windows was uplifting.

BUT if this poo poo broke in a major American/European hub we'd be ten times deeper in poo poo by now, the totality of the response from the chinese government is impressive

I also got it and it was basically a mild flu but it lasted like a week. I was real young so it was just a week of bed rest and video games basically.

Ebola is like way less contagious than most people think it is. You have to get the actual bodily fluids to catch it, and by the time people are spraying blood from their holes they're already about to kick it anyway.
That's kind of what I meant, that this poo poo could spread much faster than Ebola and get more people in total.
