Viruses are really alive. The GBS thread went over this. A "good" post described them a predatory chemistry.

But viral infections can cause brain damage through secondary health effects. That never goes as demonstrated by general posting behaviour in the forums.

Serious question though:
Does north korea have significant traffic of chinese citizens? Are they the true madagascar in this scenario?

viruses do not maintain their internal condition or homeostasis. they are life-like but are not alive. :colbert:

Macau's hotels will still be open, right? What about the all you can eat buffets?

Still, a lot more clear leadership ability than Carrie Lam, who still isn't sure whether to completely shut all of China's traffic into HK or not.

HK is a part of China. how are they going to keep out traffic that is already there?

By accident, meaning a scientist didn't know he was exposed after genetically modifying the 2012 strain with gain of function properties.

Overall, pretty stupid to play with bioweaps in a country of billions. Thats poo poo you do on one of those manmade islands far off the coast where everyone working there is basically bubble boyed for their tenure never to see society.

Yes, it would be a pretty dark stain on the CCP internationally if such carelessness was discovered. But then again this is the same place where a few years ago CRISPR babies were born.

I estimate the true causality numbers to be ~500,000 as of today.
