People tend to make the common mistake of believing that a situation will last forever.

Probably... I mean, it's already here - and a 14 day infectious during incubation window means you got a lot of people walking around with it and don't know it.

edit: the hope is that it doesn't mutate and bring more deadliness

Hey did you know the Trump appointed CHUD director of the CDC worked with a group in the 80s that said AIDS was god's judgement against gays and the moral decay in america brought on by single parent homes.

he also dumped like 20 mil in tax payer money into an aids drug that everyone said wouldn't work because he didn't want to say he hosed up.

so we're probably fine

Yeah basically this is the unknown if it mutates more serious. It's pretty much guaranteed to hit almost all the world at some point, just a matter of time. capitalism only guarantees it further. As it is, yeah it sounds like it'll suck but unless you're an olde with emphysema, you'll be fine. Apparently also has little effect on kids, at least mortality wise, which is good

"The first person known to have been infected by the Wuhan coronavirus had never visited the city’s seafood market – regarded as the epicentre of the outbreak – according to Chinese researchers, who also called for extra precautions against airborne transmission of the disease between humans."

So all of my pet bats have been coughing and sneezing the past 13 days since I switched their food to some fish I bought from a Chinese wholesaler... any advice? I have like 200 so the vet isn't an option (who could afford that????) I don't think I could stand to bury them, so I think that I might just release them??? Medical advice only please

Oh wait this also seems important:

"The researchers, seven of whom work at Wuhan’s Jinyintan hospital, designated for patients with the illness, revealed on Friday in The Lancet medical journal that symptoms of the new disease were first reported on December 1 – much earlier than the Wuhan government’s initial announcement on December 31 of 27 cases of the pneumonia-like infection."

reminded of the war nerd article about nukes, the glorious release from this cycle of pain and suffering. coronavirus is shouldering the burden of guilt, doing what we lack the courage to do, releasing us to blissful nothing, easing our passing not so much into but through death, to radiant nirvana. hail corona, latin for "sun".

As interconnected as everything is, nobody wants to be the one to make a call. Governments don't want to stop all travel, because in a sense they will be disconnecting from the larger economy. WHO doesn't want to make a call even though they should be isolated from political influence, it's obvious they aren't. Although that footnote change today might be a way for them to try and alert more people without causing panic.
