That first number is wrong. It's only if you catch it....
So assume you catch it total probability of death is

Oh 2/3rds of **** all

It’s not the deaths.....which by the way are still accurately to be calculated from reliable data.

It’s the impact on the population of infection and the implications for businesses. These factors create problems When combined with a MASSIVELY indebted globally economy and MASSIVELY FAKE stock market highs.

You believe this will happen anyway. Ergo there's no reason to cancel a given individual's trip to Venice

The reason to cancel is that there will be no museums, cafes, hotels or people around so it will be pretty dull plus why put yourself at risk of infection by traveling to the Europe hotspot and also air travel is the worst place to be right now!

In the unfortunate circumstances that I win Catman, keep the wine and take it to the next SM event you attend. Everyone can have a drink on me. We’ll all be in need of one at that point!

Cheers Wattie.

Several relatives are in southern Thailand until early next week and I just heard from them tonight that they've had a ball. Not a Chinese bugger to be seen anywhere, so the holiday was much more pleasant than usual.
Navigating major airports on the way home, including Bangkok, will be a bit dicey though.

John Campbell said earlier today, that he'd seen more official reports of recovered patients in China testing positive for the virus. This was first announced a few / several days ago.

A couple of weeks back, a UK news channel reported a claim on Chinese social media, that the virus had escaped from a laboratory in or close to Wuhan. I'm extremely sceptical about anything on social media or mainstream media, which isn't attributed from a reputable source. However, as more features of this virus become known. As well as how the Chinese government have reacted from the outset. If the CDC in Atlanta, USAMRIID, or Porton Down in the UK announced that they had evidence that the virus was not naturally occurring and that the Chinese had lost control of a bioweapon, lets just say that I wouldn't fall over in shock. Or, it could be basic incompetence involving a natural but virulent disease, on the part of a nation with little experience of operating level 4 laboratories.

Last summer the CDC shut down USAMRIID (the US Army equivalent to the CDC) because in at least two instances, containment in its level 3 and level 4 labs had been breached. Level 4 labs work with the most dangerous diseases such as anthrax, ebola and other hemorrhagic fevers etc., as well as extraterrestrial materials. USAMRIID has been operating level 4 biosafety labs since the early seventies.

Where is the only biosafety level 4 facility in China? Why, its in Wuhan of course! It's only been operating (officially) since around 2015.
