Whatever picture the Chinese government paints is always 10 times better than reality.

Xi Warns Of 'Grave' Situation As China Rushes To Build Virus Hospitals

https://www.ibtimes.com/xi-warns-gra...pitals-2909130

President Xi Jinping warned Saturday that China was facing a "grave" situation as authorities took more drastic steps to halt the spread of a virus that has killed 41 people and is overwhelming hospitals at the epicentre of the health emergency.

The world's most populous country scrambled to contain the disease that has already infected nearly 1,300 people, building a second field hospital to relieve overwhelmed medical facilities and closing more travel routes as the country marked the Lunar New Year holiday.

I wonder if we are going to put a moratorium on anyone coming from China to here?

The U.S. State Department arranged a charter flight for Sunday to bring out all its diplomats and other U.S. citizens — about 230 people — after temporarily closing the Wuhan consulate, the Wall Street Journal and New York Times reported, quoting an individual familiar with the operation.

The reports followed a State Department notice on its website that all essential personnel had been ordered to leave the city of 11 million.
So are these people going to be quarantine when they arrive to be sure they are not carriers?

As the glaciers melt the viruses that were trapped in time are being released
I hope we have time to build up an immunity to them!

I still don't believe you. I have little doubt that is what they advertise as alcohol content, but I can get drunk just fine on regular cans of Bud, and absolutely cannot catch a buzz from Corona.

Like I said, a couple that my wife and I are friends with was way into that beer, and I told them I didn't think it had any significant amount of alcohol in it. They thought I was crazy, so the next time I was at their house, they said they wanted me to drink a bunch of them, and they would keep track of the number, and see what happened. After about 2.5 hours, they said I had 10, which I believed, because they were kind of pushing them on me. They asked me if I felt drunk, and I said "not at all".

Hilarity ensured when the wife looked me over pretty good, and said "You know what is really scary? You don't look or sound drunk at all either!"

It's not like it matters, I would never pay for what is basically a flavorless beverage that you have to shove a chunk of lime into for it to taste like anything. I'll drink it if that is what the crowd is drinking, but I would never choose it regardless of how much alcohol it does or does not have.

This corona virus crap was being researched in canuckia. Two Chinese nationals stole it and shipped it back to China last year. The Chinese either mishandled it or are deliberately doing a test of biological warfare.
It's how the US knew what it wad right away and had potential vaccines in less than 24 hours. Discuss....

Meanwhile, over in China, people are accusing the CIA of inventing and releasing this virus.
