^ map of confirmed cases, people who have been following this know what it means.

I am starting this topic again because once my previous topics hit 500 others started to race to create a new topic and its prevented good discussion. When i post a link i will write in bold a small description under it so its clear to everybody, other times i will just post short news lines in bold alone.

So as of now this issue has clearly gone global and it is too late to prevent containment, and long gone are the thoughts about denial of what is currently going on. If you have not started to prepare for the effects of the global supply production and safety then now is the time.

The USA is having spread of the virus but many cases are not being published. The past few days there have been reported new outbreaks in South Korea, Iran and Italy. Japan has also been growing in cases. Many countries are banning travel from Iran.

Forgive the daily mail link, i heard about this story from a local and it was the first result on a google search

Some cult leader may be the cause of a bunch of South Korean cases.

What I heard is that it started with a church congregation, but one of them is probably responsible for other cases as well.

Closer to home, the CDC is silently preparing for an outbreak :-

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/02/19/hospitals-across-the-us-prepare-for-coronavirus-outbreak-to-become-global-pandemic.html

Fits with the narrative I've been hearing about mask being an embargoed item now.

The Korean outbreak might be an especially concerned because of the American troops stationed there. Last I heard, the Army had started restricting Korean presence on their base.

Dont buy Chinas story: The coronavirus may have leaked from a lab

https://nypost.com/2020/02/22/dont-buy-chinas-story-the-coronavirus-may-have-leaked-from-a-lab/

Chinese leader Xi Jinping spoke about the need to contain the coronavirus and set up a system to prevent similar epidemics in the future.A national system to control biosecurity risks must be put in place to protect the peoples health, Xi said, because lab safety is a national security issue.

Xi didnt actually admit that the coronavirus now devastating large swathes of China had escaped from one of the countrys bioresearch labs. But the very next day, evidence emerged suggesting that this is exactly what happened, as the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology released a new directive entitled: Instructions on strengthening biosecurity management in microbiology labs that handle advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus.

Read that again. It sure sounds like China has a problem keeping dangerous pathogens in test tubes where they belong, doesnt it? And just how many microbiology labs are there in China that handle advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus?

It turns out that in all of China there is only one. And this one is located in the Chinese city of Wuhan that just happens to be . . . the epicenter of the epidemic.

Thats right. Chinas only Level 4 microbiology lab that is equipped to handle deadly coronaviruses, called the National Biosafety Laboratory, is part of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Whats more, the Peoples Liberation Armys top expert in biological warfare, a Maj. Gen. Chen Wei, was dispatched to Wuhan at the end of January to help with the effort to contain the outbreak.
According to the PLA Daily, Gen. Chen has been researching coronaviruses since the SARS outbreak of 2003, as well as Ebola and anthrax. This would not be her first trip to the Wuhan Institute of Virology either, since it is one of only two bioweapons research labs in all of China.

Does that suggest to you that the novel coronavirus, now known as SARS-CoV-2, may have escaped from that very lab, and that Gen. Chens job is to try and put the genie back in the bottle, as it were? It does to me.

Add to this Chinas history of similar incidents. Even the deadly SARS virus has escaped twice from the Beijing lab where it was and probably is being used in experiments. Both man-made epidemics were quickly contained, but neither would have happened at all if proper safety precautions had been taken.

And then there is this little-known fact: Some Chinese researchers are in the habit of selling their laboratory animals to street vendors after they have finished experimenting on them.

Instead of properly disposing of infected animals by cremation, as the law requires, they sell them on the side to make a little extra cash. Or, in some cases, a lot of extra cash. One Beijing researcher, now in jail, made a million dollars selling his monkeys and rats on the live animal market, where they eventually wound up in someones stomach.

Also fueling suspicions about SARS-CoV-2s origins is the series of increasingly lame excuses offered by the Chinese authorities as people began to sicken and die.

They first blamed a seafood market not far from the Institute of Virology, even though the first documented cases of Covid-19 (the illness caused by SARS-CoV-2) involved people who had never set foot there. Then they pointed to snakes, bats and even a cute little scaly anteater called a pangolin as the source of the virus.

The evidence points to SARS-CoV-2 research being carried out at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The virus may have been carried out of the lab by an infected worker or crossed over into humans when they unknowingly dined on a lab animal. Whatever the vector, Beijing authorities are now clearly scrambling to correct the serious problems with the way their labs handle deadly pathogens.

Solo's topic is still up and he's not warned. Why would he get warned? He blocked Crepes like most people on the board have. Crepes intentionally spoils big movies by posting major spoilers in the topic title. Let's not give him any attention.
