    Start worrying........NOW!

    New China virus: Officials warn it 'could mutate and spread further'

    SOURCE: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-51202000


    anakinfan edit 7/24/2021:

    Some clarification around our policy for discussing Covid.

    Posting disinformation and/or conspiracy theories is a bannable offense. People are literally dying because they have bought disinformation peddled elsewhere on the Internet. We are not going to contribute to that here.

    Disinformation includes but is not limited to:

    —“plandemic” type conspiracies or conspiracies about the virus being “political”
    —gaslighting of Covid survivors (of which there are several here), those who have lost family members or friends to Covid, or doctors working with Covid patients

    If you cannot discuss Covid within these parameters, do not discuss Covid at all on this site.

    On a long enough timeframe, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

    Sounds like SARS has been doing push-ups, and now it’s going for a run.

    Because this is from China I think the only rational response is to panic, boycott the entire country, and then unquestioningly support any similar viruses that break out in the US.

    Its only a matter of time until something like this happens (particularly given China's markets) but still feel like a really bad time for something like this to happen. Not that there's ever a good time for something like this.

    Don't worry, Americans; Trump has dismissed concerns, noting "it's just one guy from China".
    Plus, any virus that touches THE CLEANEST AND PUREST AIR IN THE UNIVERSE would die instantly.

    On a more serious note, the UK is to start screening passengers on flights from Wuhan at Heathrow Airport. News said there are three direct flights a week from the city and flights will be diverted to a remote area of Terminal 4 to go through the screening process. However with the virus now in other countries I think they're playing catch-up at this point.
