so... what are the conspiracies theories flying around over this

economic warfare against china? vaccination producers generating a need? world population control?

lol heard someone said its always been around, its being made a big deal out of now

A new theory is that it was engineered to kill off the old population, particularly in Asia, where supporting them through pensions has become a burden.

Neither China, Japan nor South Korea have sustainable pension systems due to low/slowing birthrates and a rapidly aging population.

Ask said virologist how do we wash our hands the correct way?

Because I want to make sure I do it right, should this nasty pangolinbatsnakespawn arrive in Guptastan.

He did not specify, but its not as if you are doing it to prepare for an operation or anything. He said it as if it were common sense. He is a retired Professor of Medicine and I value his opinion

He is the virologist who worked with Prof Chris Barnard in 1967 during the first heart transplants

Asian markets spiralled downwards on Friday, tracking a collapse in New York and Europe as the coronavirus spread rapidly around the world with the WHO warning the deadly epidemic was now at a "decisive point".

Tokyo and Jakarta were hammered more than four percent, while Shanghai, Sydney, Seoul and Bangkok tanked more than three percent each.

The casualties have put equities around the world on course to record their worst week since the global financial crisis more than a decade ago as investors run to the hills on fears the virus will smash the global economy.

Was just going to post this. Here is comes.
Once it comes to SA. Knowing this country it's going to lead to xenophobic riots and all the rioters are going end up being infected because they where physically assaulting infected people.

I expect Kim Jong Un to summarily execute anybody who have it, or who may have it.

Norks not going to be happy about that.
