    And those companies all still depend on Chinese manufacturing. Your company used to order AC units from Chinese factory A but started ordering them from India instead? Well too bad that Indian factory still needs nuts and bolts for the AC unit from Chinese factory B, or the steel/aluminum/materials from Chinese factory C.

    Wuhan and Hubei in general will be fucked for basically an entire generation now, even after the virus is over with, that place is going to carry a Chernobyl type stigma from outsiders, unless some dumbass new social media challenge trend happens (like with, ironically enough, Chernobyl) and morons decide to swarm the place for "teh lulz", tourism, workforce recruiting from outside etc will be devastated for decades there.

    Yep, the only thing that might soften the blow is the nature of the Chinese people, but that collectivist nature will be tested by the germophobe tendencies. I think most there even recognize how there's not much to be done to stave off the stink of having a nasty virus named after your city. People aren't going to call it COVID-19 in 20-30 years.

    Flying back from our honeymoon in June and connecting through Beijing. I've felt like a lot of this has been overhyped, but it's getting to the point that I cancelled that flight and booked a different one through Korea.

    Disagree. You have to be highly undereducated to think that you have a higher risk of getting sick in the future in Wuhan/Hubei.

    I was speaking to the outside world (outside China). I dont see the Chinese population changing their behavior much because of this. Just over-reactionary outsiders that dont understand epidemiology or statistics in general.

    It will be interesting. I already posted this, but the push to support will likely outweigh the germophobic tendencies of the Chinese, at least that's my gut instinct. The collectivist nature should also help. I think it's fair to say there will be a stigma that will have a nonzero impact though.

    South Korean outbreak due to religious service.

    Enough cases that they’ll have a pretty tough time quarantining it, but this should be a good test of a “first world country’s” ability to manage a small outbreak.

    34 people have tested positive for coronavirus in the US

    From CNN's Michael Nedelman

    There are 34 people who have tested positive for coronavirus in the United States, according to an announcement Friday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    This includes 21 cases among repatriated individuals, as well as 13 US cases.

    "We are keeping track of cases resulting from repatriation efforts separately because we don't believe those numbers accurately represent the picture of what is happening in the community in the United States at this time," Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told reporters Friday.

    About the cases: The 21 repatriated include 18 former passengers of the Diamond Princess cruise ship that docked in Japan, plus three who had been previously evacuated from China. There are 10 additional passengers among the Diamond Princess evacuees who tested positive for the virus in Japan, and who Messonnier said will likely be added to the official US count once the Japanese test results have been adjudicated.

    The 13 US cases include seven in California, one in Massachusetts, one in Washington state, one in Arizona, two in Illinois and one in Wisconsin. Among these cases, there are two instances of person-to-person transmission, one in Illinois and one in California.

    The 13th US case was confirmed overnight in Humboldt County, California. County officials offered few details but said a close contact with symptoms was also undergoing testing, and both are self-isolating at home.

    Yeah it’s a pandemic. I know they say there’s a window to still confine it, but I think that ship has sailed.

    On the bright side, these mysterious cases popping up make it really likely there’s a ton of non-symptomatic or minimally symptomatic infections we aren’t catching, lowering the real mortality rate.

    old and sick people remain fucked though.

    So a bit of personal story I guess

    My cousin is a doctor in Beijing, her current assignment has her serving as a physician in a white collar minimum security prison (think disgraced government officials, money laundering CEOs etc) so the amenities and such aren't that bad. Typically she'd work there a week, come home for a week, then rotate with someone else, kind of like on an oil rig.

    When the virus outbreak started, first they decided to quarantine her and her co-workers for 2 weeks at home, then work 2 weeks on 2 weeks off. She finished her quarantine period a couple of days ago and went to work, but I heard from my uncle yesterday that they've now decided to infinitely quarantine everyone, meaning every doctor that was at home stays at home and everyone already in the facility stays there "until further notice".

    The feel I got from my uncle and her is that this is going to last at minimum 2-3 months if not longer. So its pretty stressful, not to mention her daughter (my niece) is only 2 years old and is currently staying with my aunt and uncle in Shenyang and won't be able to see her mom for who knows how long.

    No one I know of in China has gotten the virus but the situation is pretty shitty. The conspiracy peeps from Mainland are throwing around the idea that the virus was developed by people, but no one thinks the Americans did it, they think its from the communist government and lost contain of it.

    This seems odd as hell. Much more odd than any other anecdotes I've heard. Why would they do such a thing in Beijing at this point?
