Were these the same jokers who, in the beginning of January, approved go ahead on a community banquet of tens of thousands of people who brought pot luck? If I recall, they were trying to beat a Guinness Book record. They were aware of the virus when they did it.

Interesting that there was a 53 year old Chinese geneticist who was educated at Berkeley, CA died recently in China of the virus.Gotta dig for the article from last year that was discussing the Wuhan lab using bat viruses for gene therapy... That something along those lines escaped, make much more sense - employees selling lab animals at the meat market, etc, etc.
EDIT TO ADD:
Found it:
Bat adeno-associated viruses as gene therapy vectors with the potential to evade human neutralizing antibodies
Bat adeno-associated viruses as gene therapy vectors with the potential to evade human neutralizing antibodies - Gene Therapy
The prevalence of adeno-associated virus (AAV) has been investigated in bat populations, but little is known about the biological properties of this virus. In this study, four full-length bat AAV capsid genes were isolated in China, with their amino acid sequences sharing 61% identity with those...
Finally, virologists might get some hard numbers regarding infectious nature
That's a common tactic in other countries. Fire underlings to shift blame to them.

She’s the oldest of eight siblings. She tends to be an “expert” on everything. But I don’t know what her Meyers-Briggs type is. She is an extrovert and likes to be the center of attention. Does that help?
Many of them might be sourced elsewhere (and I hope to hell we do it before it bites us in the ass); but many cannot be. The lack of some will get you or someone like you killed if I haven't got it.
I used to be a County Supervisor (for a much smaller in pop. CA county.) During disasters, we would tally the expenditures and losses (for fire or flood or crops) and once that exceeded a certain amount, we could declare an emergency and ask for state assistance and funds. At a certain level, the state could declare an emergency and call upon the fed's to kick in. I imagine it is the same for health disasters, although we never had one in my 12 years. The declaration lasts for so many days then you have to renew it. Usually, a federal declaration would include all adjacent counties,
| further confirmation that the 13th case in CA was from the evac and not in the general population there. Good news always welcome |
| Toro, Ana (CDC/OD/OADC) <pvq1@cdc.gov> Mon 2/10/2020 10:19 PM CDC Confirms 13th Case of 2019 Novel Coronavirus CDC today confirmed another infection with 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in the United States that was detected in California. The patient who was under a federal quarantine order recently returned from Wuhan, China, where an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by this novel coronavirus has been ongoing since December 2019. This brings the total of number of 2019-nCoV cases in the United States to 13. CDC is conducting a thorough contact investigation of the person who has tested positive to determine contacts and to assess if those contacts had high risk exposures. For the latest information on the outbreak, visit CDC’s Novel Coronavirus 2019 website. Yes, it was one of the evacuees from Wuhan. It is in San Diego. MCAS Miramar Thanks, Ana |
I'd initially just grabbed and shared the top half (about medical supply shortages) for my AirLife Paramedic son.Shane, here is the full link and a copy of Aesop's full post including the above: Chaos Brings Opportunity...And Chaos

Chaos Brings Opportunity...And Chaos
So, as I said I would at the end of that post, I went through my E.R.'s supplies this past weekend, and made a list of items that we source from China. The list is esoteric, and very inside-baseball, unless you're in the trade. I sent it, in a memo, up the chain, so that hopefully administration will source alternative vendors for items which may become Chinesium Unobtanium any day now, until further notice, because between 50-500M Chinese are no longer going to work in the toy factories that make the things I use to make sick people well. So forget the item list, but take away this TL;DR note:
Many of them might be sourced elsewhere (and I hope to hell we do it before it bites us in the ass); but many cannot be. The lack of some will get you or someone like you killed if I haven't got it.
Multiply that times nearly 5600 U. S. hospitals, and countless clinics and doctor's offices, just for healthcare, nationwide, and you can begin to grasp the magnitude of this problem.
Then, extrapolate that to the entire economy.
Then go from second-order effects, to third order effects.
WallyMart and Horror Freight live and die on importing literal metric mega-****tons of cheap Chinese sh*t, to exist.
So when that pipeline dries up, possibly overnight, you tell me:
What does stock in WalMart or Harbor Freight open at on the market the day after they can't get their goods?
What about fourth-order effects?
Who gets laid off as a direct result?
What happens to the economy, not only for the family of Joe the Greeter and Sally the Checker, but for the folks whose groceries they don't buy, the movies they don't see, the gasoline they don't need to drive to work at the job they don't have any more, and the state and federal welfare dole they swell?
Because some little sh*theads, in some sh*thole, had to have batburgers last year, the economy, perhaps of the world, takes a punch right in the crotch.
And the rot of fiatbux means the house of cards could all come tumbling down.
Possibly in a matter of weeks. Or months. Or hours. Or never.
No one has any effing idea whether or not, nor how fast and far, such a collapse could go.
And it doesn't even require even one single person more outside China to get corona virus, (or whatever-in-hell this is).
That's enough rose-colored glasses for one morning.
Think it over yourself.
And have a happy day.
15 hr 10 min agoI listened to NPR on the radio going to work this morning (my form of oppo research). They had a segment from Thailand where the jist was they didn't want Chinese tourists bringing china flu to their town and they should just stay away.
NPR playing that (xenophobic) story in prime time told me that the MSM is about to start talking about this and the time for final obvious preps is closing quickly.
, I hear ya. My story. A well known Christian man and his Chinese wife are closely tied to the U of I campus. I48 chinese were home for the Christmas break. She is very involved with the Chinese students....he could easily have been exposed by her. And I by him. Small world and all that. It has played games with my mind. Sunday night I was in close contact with sixty kids, twenty adults at church. High fiving, fist bumping.....and praying. I see this coming to an abrupt end.
Oh, cripe, really hate to hear any story like that.
