This kind of virus can kill humans - it's a fact. New channels only make us feel anxious. I hope that the situation is not as horrible as some of us think about it.

I've not read the whole article yet, but the first part itself has a bunch of interesting info.

"Uncanny similarity of unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag"


Abstract:

"We are currently witnessing a major epidemic caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). The evolution of 2019-nCoV remains elusive. We found 4 insertions in the spike glycoprotein (S) which are unique to the 2019-nCoV and are not present in other coronaviruses. Importantly, amino acid residues in all the 4 inserts have identity or similarity to those in the HIV-1 gp120 or HIV-1 Gag. Interestingly, despite the inserts being discontinuous on the primary amino acid sequence, 3D-modelling of the 2019-nCoV suggests that they converge to constitute the receptor binding site. The finding of 4 unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV, all of which have identity/similarity to amino acid residues in key structural proteins of HIV-1 is unlikely to be fortuitous in nature. This work provides yet unknown insights on 2019-nCoV and sheds light on the evolution and pathogenicity of this virus with important implications for diagnosis of this virus. ..."

I note attach to Asian lung worse, spread go less other country. Can be hope.

Are you referring to the research that suggests that this 2019-nCoV mainly attacks ACE2, of which Asians have have 500% more of in their lungs than do blacks or whites therefore leaving asians more succeptible to 2019-nCoV and also likely rending it more potentially lethal to them than others?
(Also more lethal/succeptible to males than females.)

"2019-nCov was reported to share the same receptor, Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), with SARS-Cov."
"A comparison between eight individual samples demonstrated that the Asian male one has an extremely large number of ACE2-expressing cells in the lung."
"We also noticed that the only Asian donor (male) has a much higher ACE2-expressing cell ratio than white and African American donors (2.50% vs. 0.47% of all cells). This might explain the observation that the new Coronavirus pandemic and previous SARS-Cov pandemic are concentrated in the Asian area."

I think the most important thing is not to panic. You need to understand that if you are not an employee of the epidemiological service, then you can not do anything but to protect yourself. If you try to walk less in public, wash your hands more often - then everything will be fine. It makes no sense to panic and discuss this if you are doing everything you can to do.

The Coronavirus will not last long.

It was made in China.   Cheesy

Good one. But China is a big country and in this case "Made in China" doesn't help...

You are right but I think this will help It is detrimental to their country. The coronavirus is now only confined to China spreading to Nepal. China being a developed country, must find solutions to this problem.

From the neocons published Sept of the year 2000 (not 2001) as "Rebuilding America's Defenses."

Quote
...  And advanced forms of biological warfare that can “target” specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool.  ...

The document is more famous for seeming to predict the events of 9/11 a year later when many of the PNAC authors had gained power via the GW Bush admin:

Quote
...  Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor. ...

The document seemed to contain a fair amount of 'predictive' power to be sure.  More and more as the years drift by.  Anyway, the concept of biological weapons which target specific races and ethnicities is quite old.  I've been aware of the possibilities and theories for at least 30 year.  The likes of Rumsfeld seemed pretty confident that they were going to be usable in the near-ish future and could be 'useful.'

The WHO have finally declared it a "global outbreak" weeks after people have already started begging for a shutdown of travel to and from China. Like they really waited while China was already busy shutting down cities. They only alerted now that it's in all of China's regions.

And so it begins...

Friendly reminder that the flu infects millions of people and further proceeds to kill hundreds of thousands of people every year. I wouldn't say coronavirus is the biggest deal yet but the United States needs to cut travel to regions in China that have high incidents of the virus to prevent this from actually impacting the US.

There's going to be tons of fake news out there regarding this virus -- because what's better for the media then a global outbreak. WHO has just declared this a public health crisis, not surprising at all, but this is going to get interesting and interesting very fast.

In the coming days, weeks, months -- I'd ensure to double and triple check your sources when people are reporting that someone has corona in your area, and make sure that news companies aren't trying to take advantage of the chaos that is going to occur. I've even heard this sort of bullshit in my town, where people are saying that some people have the corona virus in my town but all it is is someone is being checked for it and they're currently quarantined.

The other day I was asked if the coronavirus could influence the price of bitcoin. China has approximately 2 billion inhabitants, it seems that 80 people have died so far. But common flu kills much more than that in African countries and no one says anything. It is certain that it is a new virus and an antidote has to develop quickly. But then I think the world will start buying bitcoin to protect itself, I think there is a lot of speculation.

Pretty good run-down in the first half of this vid of stuff which is already know by people who's information sources extend beyond the mainstream media outlets and heavily censored 'social media' platforms:

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d21t5ft6R0

Shows where U.S. biological warfare labs are located, information about ethnic targeted bio-weapons, where SARS fits in and who said what about it after studying it, etc, etc.

Good one.  But I would say that it could have been made anywhere.  I'd start by looking at the various bio-warfare labs scattered about.

I absolutely would not put it past the Chinese govt to develop and deploy such a thing against their number one enemy (their domestic population) if it served some useful purpose or if they were directed to do so by their controllers (e.g., as a trade for having moved capital there over the last few decades.)

At the same time I would not put it past quasi-adversaries in the West to deploy the goodie in Wuhan as a starting point.

One way or another, it won't stay a Chinese problem for long so where it started doesn't really mean a lot.  One operative with some liquid could start it wherever they so choose and could have it pop up anywhere else which was advantageous.

Could it be from the gooks eating bats?  Sure it could.  But that psy-op being spread around social media lends exactly zero support to the hypothesis.  As a matter of fact depending on how social media was used to spread the idea (which I've not researched) it could be that the fact it spread via social media might be taken to strongly indicate that the story is a flat-out lie.

We'll know more as time goes by.  At those of us who expand our foraging range to outside of the mainstream media will.

The whole situation is rather frightening but you have to realize that what makes it frightening is the media hysteria. There are other diseases that are spreading now and nobody talks about them. Take the measles in Europe or the influenza in the USA. You probably haven't even heard of it and it's the fault of the media, meanwhile the number of victims is much bigger

snip
Wuhan is under quaranteen with the surrounding area containing 50 million Chinese although there's only 6000 people infected.
I don't know why they would ban travel since these people can't leave their city anyways.

It's not those stuck in Hubei's cities that's the problem, it's those people that are symptom-free that are outside. Those that are still moving freely across the country and those still travelling abroad. They're already spreading it without being sick enough to confine yet. We can expect the number of sick people to drastically jump within weeks as the infected come out of incubation.
