Wow, the way she dodged question at the end about how the Chinese treat minorities and how it might affect treatment for the virus...Fucking spineless.

Seems the Chinese are not bothering with child sized bodybags. Just stuff a bunch of them in a regular bag. It will all be burned anyway.
Warning: NSFL
Bleach, according to some sources.What in the hell is this substance they keep spraying everywhere with tank trucks and mosquito foggers? What IS this?
The Spanish flu itself was pretty terrible. 3% death is actually a big problem. More than individual risk for death here, this is a disruption for the globalized world system. Chinese exports are down a quarter as of last week, quarantine measures have started in Beijing, and the Chinese government, according to just about everybody, is lying out their asses about the real statistics. The CCP is willing to pull out the stops when they think their grip on government is on the line, and that's where the real megadeaths may come in to play.
I think this is could be a lot like SARS where the virus kills people of East Asian descent but just about nobody else. The mortality rate in China will be much higher than the neighbors because Chinese facilities are getting overwhelmed and their air pollution is as bad as smoking.

In the alternative, I saw a video taking another way. Some westerners who spent time in China thought it might be a pesticide- it looked to them like the same stuff they spray in public to kill rats and cockroaches.
Either way, this could just be public health theater: doing something so that the public sees measures being taken, rather than to achieve anything real.
So I talked with my parents; and they decided to wait and see. My mother made sure to get insurance, so she can cancel whenever she wants, at no cost; besides the insurance. If Train Dodger is right, in another month or two it will become fairly obvious how much trouble we're all in. I have managed to convince them to make some basic preparations just in case; mainly in terms of making sure we have enough water to go with our food that we can hole up in our house for a few months, if things get bad.
Stock up on Iodized Salt. Canned Meats, Dried Fruit, Dried Beans, Rice, Powdered Milk, Bleach, Soap, Toilet Paper, A manual can opener. Batteries, A Kerocene Heater, Kerocene Lamp, A BBQ Grill, Charcoal, Toothpaste. Listerine style mouthwash, A USMC Kabar or US Navy/ US Army Combat knife (A good knife is damn handy) Water Purification tablets, Vitamin C tablets, Granulated Sugar, Rat Poison, Ant and Roach poison, Gun Ammo if you own a firearm and last but not least matches plenty of matches.So I talked with my parents; and they decided to wait and see.

What you'd expect in a post apocalypse killing over a resource.
Good news is they didn't die they later recovered.Pretty much goes to show how fragile civillization is.
Are you talking about the Mandarin post?'Attacked' and 'killed' is a pretty serious translation failure, if I'm reading your second post properly...

Yes I know I am a paranoid old Squid but my Daddy lived through the Great Depression and hammered being prepared into my head. So please take my suggestions to heart.
Propoganda purposes?Well, I just found out what the substance is that they're spraying everywhere.
China is sending trucks to spray bleach on entire cities as the country struggles to contain the Wuhan coronavirus
Public health and infection control experts say spraying entire towns is "a little over the top," because coronaviruses don't live long on surfaces.www.businessinsider.com
It's bleach, apparently. Bleach and/or peroxide.
Why are they just spraying it everywhere? What the hell? Wouldn't it be more useful on specifically contaminated areas?
Is it possible that the your information on how deadly the Corona Virus actually is, has more to do with the Chinese health care system being utter garbage? That, once its gets to a half-way competent nation, it proves to be not nearly as dangerous as it is in China?Well, I just found out what the substance is that they're spraying everywhere.

That depends on the leaership and I doubt if the worse case happens to infect lots of people any half-way competent nation's health care can withstand an onslaught of infected patients.Is it possible that the your information on how deadly the Corona Virus actually is, has more to do with the Chinese health care system being utter garbage?
