Why was that girl putting away the mask and exposed herself when talking to the reporter?? She would've caught by the virus then! The reporter should've known this and he too should've followed the precautions.

It's interesting that the city with government labs studying dangerous viruses also experiences the random evolution and outbreak of a new dangerous virus. What are the odds?

A guy with a channel named Serpentza says A LOT of Chinese people don’t use hand soap. His friend just used hand soap for the first time yesterday. Huh? Wtf

God bless the people of Wuhan, may they recover from this epidemic asap!

I think you can expect three months.
There are going to be clusters of infection before it disappears I would imagine. Then when they finally find a vaccine I will take time to making of it. The best source to come back this is to stay very clean and healthy as possible. One thing that is easy to do is to stay well rested

China's 2020 New Year gift to the world. That said, I am happy the country and its people are handling this nicely. I only wonder what'd India and their people will do. That is one poor country and very poor coordination to anything.

HK CE should close borders with China, esp those using land travel, where controls r lax n too numerous to detect. people may not hv any fever when they left home, nor any on arrival. loads of people cough, hv runny nose or sneeze. doesnt mean they r all potential risks. however, during SARS, symptons came out later. the origin is always China, n those comg to HK fm China, even if only one day. think clearly, why take risk of increasing viras carriers cmg in.?
