All UK hospitals ordered to prepare “Coronavirus assessment pods” where people can be assessed and Coronavirus isolation areas.

This is not a drill.......

ZeroHedge were removed from twitter because a journo (if you can call them that) from Buzzfeed actively worked to kick them off by labelling one of their articles "doxing" an identity of a scientist involved in the theft of Corona-virus from Canada. Although the information was publicly available in various media releases.
Removing your competition is a well known practice on social media, and is a valid component/tactic of online media outlets. Based on the lefty views of these mung-beans you can see the trend.

Either way, Dr. Francis Boyle, the author of the US Bio-Weapons Act has outed the WHO and China for knowing the nCov is a Bio-weapon.
No vius mutates with HIV insertions while leaving traces of the crispr gene modifiers.
Dont we all feel like a sacrificial lamb, as always.

A look at the biology side of this bio weapon/HIV thing shows it is fake news. A “study” was done in India that found that there were minute commonalities in genetic sequences between coronavirus, SARS, MERS, HIV, etc. The authors then alleged that wuflu was therefore an engineered bio weapon.

the paper has since been retracted. But not before the indian media and conspiracy theorists had started spreading it.

The apparent technique of chopping up the virus is called “blast” and scientists say that of course some fragments will be shared among many, many virii.

To put that another way, what. they did was akin to dissecting a cessna and then saying that because it has wheels and a propeller, it is a reengineered P51 Mustang.

Rumours abound from China that deaths are well underreported. Thankfully (at this point) the virus isn’t as transmutable as other viruses but we can’t afford to be complacent.

All foreign pilots working for China Southern Airlines, Hainan Airlines, and a host of smaller mainland Chinese carriers have been placed on indefinite unpaid leave, according to multiple sources and a memo seen by the Post.

Isn’t that the nature of ‘contracting’, big money whilst there but the downside is it is ‘unstable’ when things go a bit haywire.

As bad as it is everyone knew the risks of contracting in China. It’s not just China, if your a contract pilot your income is as good as your contract.

Now back onto the Coronas...

Flights from China are still arriving. The crew are not citizens or permanent residents - are they returning to China on the outbound flight?

The Chinese government has threatened punishment for local government administrators who fail to contain the virus. Amazingly, the rate of increase numbers are showing a big downturn. In other news, reports of many patients being turned away from hospitals and dying unrecorded. The Chinese seem to have adopted the Trumpian doctrine of calling the truth fake, and the fake truth. Pesky facts are getting in the way of a robust economy.

Li Wenliang, R.I.P. You tried to warn us.

There must be a bit more info from the expat pilots who are still in China on how things are going and whats going on? It's hard to make sense with the media hysteria, are people dying on the streets and starving to death or is life going on with some strong containment measures in place?

There is a few token direct cargo flights weekly from Sydney.
Thanks for that.

Bit of a nightmare for the Aussies trying to get out of PEK I guess. Frustrating for sure.

Settle down, Stalin.

I'm hoping this is your "humour as a coping mechanism" moment, but if not - you may yet get your demented wish

The only way to avoid a potential pandemic is for this novel pathogen to remain largely contained in place. If you'd study the various breakout models you'd appreciate that (as is presently playing out in the epicentre) the ability for the medical community to test / isolate / treat is paramount. Once these services are overwhelmed you're facing a probable breach of the dam walls ....and in the absence of a vaccine (6-12 months), it will be everywhere. And I don't mean that metaphorically.

I hope we all get to look back and be thankful that early containment of the virus to predominately mainland China saved the day -- or at least bought us valuable time to develop a vaccine.
