Maybe Mao too can be thanked indirectly in educating the populace with backward beliefs to develop bad hygiene habits and culinary tastes.

China virus spread is accelerating, Xi warns - BBC News
China's president tells a high-level meeting that the country faces a "grave situation".

Even Xi is panicking.
Assuming of course that the CNN people aren't themselves a bit too busy coughing blood...
Wait, how did he rape the chinese culture in that regard?

When he did his communism on the people. Shit like the great leap forward and the cultural revolution erased old cultures to be replaced with his brand of society.

Because there are multiple coronavirii I modified the title slightly to specify it as the novel Wuhan Seafood Market Pneumonia which is caused by a coronavirus.

A team from Hong Kong visited Wuhan and the leader, a noted epidemiologist, said that this was "ten times worse than SARS". Since SARS infected a bit more than 8,000 people, that correlates with the leaked videos of Doctors saying that there are 90,000 cases. It's probably not even a case of the Red Chinese government intentionally lying: They're probably saying confirmed cases that have been subjected to RNA analysis of the virus are still less than 2,000; the other 90,000 cases or so everyone just knows has it, but they haven't been able to process test samples yet.
The videos of people collapsing and dying as they walk down the street and of bodies stacked in hospitals are quite disturbing however and suggest the government is lying about the death toll, and in fact, are generally much too complicated to fake, because they involve obviously the interiors of hospitals and large numbers of responding personnel and authentic Chinese-type ambulances.
The government is building another 1,000-bed SARS-type infection hospital in Wuhan (in only six days, the video of a hundred diggers working simultaneously on the site is rather impressive--prefabs, of course), and seizing hotels to convert into quarantine sites. More hospitals of this type can be built in other large cities and probably will be as the outbreak spreads.
Quarantine is effective, but only when it is at the home level. The government needs to promptly deploy troops to the streets of every city, place all the reserves under military order, and lock down the entire country. The disease would burn out if everyone remained in their homes for a month. The people in the infected homes would die and the rest would live. This is ultimately how we beat the Spanish Flu; ultimately, people just stopped leaving their homes and society isolated into small groups which weren't interchanging for long enough to break the cycle of disease progression.
Past modeling on a Coronavirus outbreak of this type has been done. The outbreak is dovetailing with the modeling nicely. It suggests 65 million deaths in one year, or about 0.8% of the world population. The Spanish Influenza killed 50 millions, but the world population was much lower at the time. However, it would definitely be the worst disease outbreak since then.
I would strongly disregard any claims of millions infected ... The 90,000 number is plausible at this stage, but not such wild claims off of radio shows.

Construction of a second emergency hospital in Wuhan has begun and it will be finished in 15 days; the first emergency hospital will take six to complete, so it will be finished in another five.
This means that the Red Chinese government expects the outbreak to not peak for at least another month. The second hospital has 1,300 beds, 300 more than the first. During the SARS outbreak they only needed one emergency hospital of 1,000 beds that took a week to build. Thus, this outbreak is being projected to last two to three times longer and involve two to three times as many infections in Wuhan as Beijiing had during the SARS outbreak, at a minimum.

Tweet about it being "Trump's fault" is a load of crap. I am married to a Chinese woman. Guess what, when we visit family here in Baltimore, we ate just this dinner alone?

- Pig's feet
- Chicken feet
Guys, this tweeter doesn't know what the hell they are talking about.
Asians themselves make fun of the fact they'll eat ANYTHING.

I'm *German*, shall I get into the list of weird foods that we germans eat?
Raw ground beef on rye bread
Brains
Don't get me started on what goes into sausages
never read the recipe for sauerbraten, it'll ruin it for you.
No, seriously, don't read that recipe.
That's not even getting started on things like Worcestershire Sauce.
China does not have a monopoly on eating weird shit.

By the end of this there's probably going to be a counter culture against eating bats when the recovery begins.
Beijing transportation in and out to be suspended and possible vaccine in 3 months.

Kholodets is delicious, but sometimes even Russian food seems tame in comparison to what Germans eat. The raw minced pork jelly one ...
Of course, I also love Japanese natto.

The Romans too had their fads like domesticated rodents after fattening them up.
Sverdlosk had something to do with anthrax?
Basically the fears from the eye catching click baiting news is that a lab was set up to study viruses and it may have leaked out. to cause the outbreak like a B movie plot.
I don't know how true that is but one internet theory was when it came to disposal of viral test subjects, instead of incinerating the bodies they were sold to make a profit by negligent personnel to the market. Someone buys and eats it for the outbreak to start.
US warned virus could 'escape' from lab near coronavirus epicentre
In 2017, scientists spoke of their worry about a laboratory in Wuhan built to research SARS and Ebola.

Yeah, no. That sounds like someone cribbed the plot from the Stand.

Either that or the Contagion movie.
"If I'm going to die, then you guys should not live too!"
"Phftooo!"
The communist chinese culture seems to encourage being a self-centered douchebag that gleefully screws everyone else over.

Looks like everyone is being told "out of the pool"
And it seems some bureaucrats in Wuhan are going to get blamed for all this.
