coronavirus facts thread.

The virus is a biological weapon, the reason why Chinese lock down the cities of tens of millions and send personnel with hazmat suits is because they know exactly how infectious the virus is and covered up the secret virus early on by arresting journalists.

Ask yourself this: why did they try to cover up the outbreak early on? Was it because they dont want to cause panic to the public or they dont want people to know the virus was a secret biological weapon? And why covering up an outbreak that was originated from just a market? No matter how dirty a market is and how many exotic animals it sells, i don't believe it can be a breeding ground for deadly viruses. There are way many more markets out there that are way dirtier and have more exotic animals than Chinese markets in inland Hubei. Why is the virus so infectious (a doctor was infected through eyes and one patient can infect 14 medical staffs)? And why does the virus have a long incubation time up to one/two week and the disease's symptoms can't be detected by screening measures? Also the virus can make people just collapse. Such collapse of people can only be caused by virus attacking their victim's lung cells or the cells of other organs (doctors call this an organ failure). Being infectious, having a long incubation time and the ability to bypass screening process at the airports and to make people collapse sound like a weaponized virus to me. There are chemical weapons out there like radiation that are used for assassination due to its ability to kill a victim not immediately but in a long time after exposure. Also Beijing is by official statistics the most infected city outside of Hubei. Why not any city in provinces neighboring Hubei but Beijing? This means the first virus spreaders either stay in Beijing or Hubei or often travel between the two provinces. What kind of people would often travel between Hubei and Beijing or stay in Hubei but often come in contact with people from Beijing? People working for the government. Also considering the Chinese response to the outbreak, why locking down cities of tens of millions, sending people with hazmat suits, building "hospitals", transporting people in metal box, spraying disinfectants in other cities like Shanghai and blocking the roads in and out of Hubei by any mean necessary (even pilling up dirt on the road knowing that it would stop only cars but not the flow of people)? Had they only known that there was an outbreak of an "unknown" virus, why did they resort to such draconian measures? I've never seen people infected with SARS being transported in a metal box nor SARS has ever caused a lock-down of cities. Such draconian measures can only mean for damage control of a known virus.

Isn't 'Corona' a beer brand?? LOL

My friend just came back from Chongqing, China, one of the 12 cities that are currently on lockdown.  He left a few days ago to Taiwan as soon as he heard there was going to be a lockdown.  He landed in SFO yesterday, and he said the airport did not screen anyone or him.  He told them he came from China; they asked him "Wuhan?" he said, "No," and they let him go without taking a temperature. As soon as he got out of the airport, he went straight to a local hospital because he developed a dry cough.  He wanted to ensure that he did not get the Coronavirus, so he did not go home but to the emergency department.  He waited for 5 hours before he was seen, and waited there for close to 13 hours before a test came back confirming that he was negative for Coronavirus. Thank goodness he tested negative, but imagine countless more people like him, and how many people they could have potentially exposed on the plane, at the airport, and in the emergency waiting room. He told me the condition in China is actually much worst than what they let out to be.  There are no food, or medical supplies.  People are freaking out, and a massive amount of people left to nearby countries such as Thailand and Vietnam so they can avoid the lockdown.
