Nope.Anybody worried about this?
The rural areas of China are still very 3rd world. They have a lot of old traditions in eating weird stuff and other things they consider aphrodisiacs or medicinal.Why do these plagues always seem to develop in China? And how the hell can they trace it back so quickly to dead animal sold in an open market. Very peculiar
It's following this prediction graph pretty closely. So if it keeps up it will kill 1,200,000 by February 21st. The true numbers are skewed in the first place. They are a lot higher coming from a communist government like China. They're boarding up entrances to high rise apartment buildings and locking citizens in.Seems like a 2-3% mortality rate? Is that high? Seems other common ailments like the flu kill a large number among people that are already old and/or sick.
Tons of people stacked on top of each other. China has ten cities the size of new York or larger, Shanghai is almost triple the population, iirc. Combine that with questionable to poor resources, and you have a recipe for disaster.Why do these plagues always seem to develop in China?

Not to mention eating raw animals as food. Especially animals that are prone to diseases like bats, mice, or rats.Tons of people stacked on top of each other.

Excellent points, however that would seem to create additional issues trying to pinpoint where the outbreak originated. If I recall within a day or two of the news breaking the Chinese officials announced the " exact" location and cause of the outbreak. I suspect this has been going on much longer and China being China just sat on it. I suppose they're not overly concerned with loosing a few 1000 folks.Tons of people stacked on top of each other.

Quarantined 60 million people which accounts for about 10 sq. miles.As I said in the other thread, I think it's concerning. The Chinese know more about it than anyone and they are quarantining 60 million people, shutting down schools, and their medical professionals are going around in full hazmat suits.
I would agree with all of this, and probably add a zero (or two or three) to that estimate.Excellent points, however that would seem to create additional issues trying to pinpoint where the outbreak originated.
