Hats off to the Chinese for their lockdown.
I thought the technology that showed the temperature of individuals in a crowd was impressive.

Three different Chinese airlines currently have aircraft at Gatwick... be interesting to see if they leave or not :-\

After watching the news at lunch, it was indecisive on a total lockdown , surely any decision is better than no decision ? Someone needs to grow a set..

Four people in Scotland being tested for it.

Unlike England, they still haven't eliminated mad cow disease in Scotland, just watch any Wee Krankie video. ::)

On the news this morning it showed footage from Wuhan where the diggers were preparing the ground for the building of a new 1,000 bed hospital which they said would be up and ready within days :o
-
That fact is much more scary for the west than any virus they might export.
-
56 million in lockdown
Public transport stopped in 18 cities
3 cases in France.
That is some undertaking to build a thousand bed hospital in a week and another 1300 one in a further two weeks.

Yep, 10 days to be exact. A hospital over here would be three years in planning and procurement alone.

Don,t think they have many NIMBY,s in China. As the 7 gorges dam project bears out.

Up in London today & it's Lunar new year so London China town is packed with relatives & visitors. WHO have tested human-to-human infection rates at 3.8% +/-0.2%. This translates into a contained infection rate if 72-75% of infected people don't pass it on to a 2nd person, if they do we are into pandemic territory. :o :o :o Simple to do the maths from this, where we are an open borders, travel freedom sh*t street. So, I will see you all on the other side & I'm grabbing 1 of the hotter seats in hell where I don't like the cold. :P
If Lord Opti & Uncle STEMO fall off their perches it is much more likely to be from their very, very old ages, rather than any illness. :P :P :P

Makes me wonder if they knew something was afoot a while ago. I (and every other arriving passenger/crew member) was scanned for increased body temperature when I flew out to Shanghai on 04/01/20.
I suppose it could now be standard practice at all PRC airports, I don't remember it when I was last out there in 2017. :-\

It's weird seeing those pictures and videos of deserted streets, with nobody out and about and all the shops with their shutters down.... :( :-\

Any town centre looks like that on a Sunday.

Yes, when you have 1.4 billion people to call on it is so possible.
The previously mentioned news report on the mechanical diggers at work shows how they can do it. Dozens of them each covering,I reckon a piece of land about 20 feet across, digging away like a swarm of ants. Very impressive! 8) 8) :y
-
I wonder who and what was on that land before the diggers turned up? ::)

Just a few peasants shops and an apartment block ;D

One thing is for sure, what the State wants from its people they get.
No planning enquiries there! ::) ::) :D ;)

If you disagree with what the state is doing, your immediate living relatives are invoiced by the state for the cost of the bullet they used to resolve the issue with you. :o :o

Ok, sorry.
They learned it from Joe ;D

Yes, even the Nazis did not offer that insult to the relatives of those murdered by the State.
They were far kinder, giving the bullets freely into the victims bodies as a parting gift from the Third Reich! Then taking their possessions in compensation for the State's inconvenience! :'( :'(

If I do become infected by it, I will try to remember that others are infected with something even worse.
