Ah, and of course I LOVE IT. Grown up with the cartoon series, really pushed me to the science and the real psychology :D

Good luck aussies! Love from the new global center of the epidemic......Bergamo (it's ridiculous to say, we always want to be famous for Atalanta soccer team and our cultural heritage, not for this! Totally not! Every day now there's the Army truck procession with the coffins of deads going to other cities crematorium, it's surreal).

If the virus really did start the way that I've been reading (in "wet markets" in China, where endangered animals are killed and then eaten). That is some evil stuff. Makes the virus a karma of sorts.
Not saying for a second, that all the people in Europe and elsewhere deserved it. But those people doing that to the defenseless animals I don't have sympathy for. For everyone else, completely undeserved.
The virus can't live in DEAD animals.
And of course if you "eat" it you can't get a pneumonia (really really strange).
More likely a bat bite.

LESS deaths, finally ! -100 comparing to yesterday here in Lombardy.

The new numbers in the USA are frightening. I said that the USA was in for a bad ride. I reckon there will be more cases in the USA than in China in the next week or so. We've a lot of USA residents on this site. Good luck and avoid getting this if you can.

Aren't all animals butchered for meat defenceless? The type of wet market suspected as the origin site is special only because they bung in all sorts of animals together. Slaughtering a pangolin, a bat, a chicken and a snake on the same slab, and storing the amongst one another - that's your problem.

It could have either began from a bat bite, or from the aerosolized particulates from the freshly killed and processed meats at that open air wet market in Wuhan.

Problem is your gastric acid can destroy every existing coronavirus.
You can't get this simply "eating". It's nearly impossible.

I wouldn't trust any news coming out of China at the moment. They've removed all embedded foreign journalists from circulation, and are now controlling the entire narrative on the issue. This could still be tearing through their country, and we wouldn't know about it.

You're a smart guy but why China would risk to be caught on a subject SO globally pivotal ?
