www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-51403795Coronavirus kills Chinese whistleblower doctor A Chinese doctor who tried to issue the first warnings about the deadly coronavirus outbreak has died, the hospital treating him has said. Li Wenliang contracted the virus while working at Wuhan Central Hospital. He had sent out a warning to fellow medics on 30 December but police told him to stop "making false comments". There had been contradictory reports about his death, but the People's Daily now says he died at 02:58 on Friday (18:58 GMT Thursday). The virus has killed more than 560 people and infected 28,000 in China. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51398039Coronavirus: Third UK patient 'caught coronavirus in Singapore' The third person in the UK to be diagnosed with coronavirus caught it in Singapore, it is understood. He is thought to have tested positive for the virus in Brighton before being taken to hospital in London. The government is now telling travellers arriving in the UK from a total of nine Asian countries and territories to check for symptoms. They are advised to stay at home and call the NHS if they are ill and have flown home in the past 14 days. The initial advice had only covered mainland China, but now also includes: Thailand Japan Republic of Korea Taiwan Singapore Malaysia Hong Kong Macau Anyone returning in the past fortnight from those place who has symptoms like a cough, fever, or shortness of breath should stay indoors and call the NHS 111 service. The Department of Health said they should do so "even if symptoms are mild", adding: "These countries have been identified because of the volume of air travel from affected areas, understanding of other travel routes and number of reported cases. This list will be kept under review." The new UK patient is understood to be a middle-aged man who was isolated at home, tested positive and was taken to St Thomas's Hospital in central London, where he is being treated at a specialist infectious diseases unit. It had previously been reported he was at Guy's Hospital in the city. It is the first UK case in which the virus was contracted outside mainland China.

Wuhan Ordered To Round Up Infected Residents For Mass Quarantine Camps: Pandemic Updates Profile picture for user Tyler Durden by Tyler Durden Thu, 02/06/2020 - 14:47 0 SHARES Summary: Senior CCP official orders Wuhan to round up infected residents for mass quarantine camps Beijing completes second coronavirus hospital in Wuhan Wuhan hospital confirms that doctor who was one of first to warn about virus died on Thursday Economists warn China faces difficult dilemma in deciding when workers should return to work Total cases eclipses 28,000 as death toll climbs to 568 Taiwan halts visas for citizens of Macau and Hong Kong Germany confirms 13th case 2 suspected cases found in South Africa Dubai reports 3rd death outside China * * * Update (1615ET): A senior Chinese official has ordered Wuhan authorities to immediately round up all residents infected with the novel coronavirus and place them in isolation, quarantine camps, or designated hospitals, according to the New York Times.
City investigators have also been ordered to go to each home and check the temperature of every resident, as well as conduct interviews with infected patients' close contacts.
"Set up a 24-hour duty system. During these wartime conditions, there must be no deserters, or they will be nailed to the pillar of historical shame forever," said Sun Chunlan, a vice premier in charge of leading the CCP's response

Nothing brings out the spirit of free enterprise than a crisis such as this.. And Goes to show..the Chinese are Just like us.. Chinese City Provokes Public Backlash By Stealing Shipment Of Facemasks Profile picture for user Tyler Durden by Tyler Durden Thu, 02/06/2020 - 15:20 0 SHARES Here's how bad the shortages of critical supplies like facemasks have gotten in China: A city with only eight confirmed virus cases has provoked an outpouring of public rage by stealing a shipment of facemasks bound for another city, which has many more patients infected with the virus.The government of Dali City, situated in the southwest province of Yunnan, ordered the "emergency requisition", according to state media reports. Hospitals, towns and cities across China have been scrambling to get their hands on whatever medical supplies they can as the outbreak drains resources, sparking a country-wide shortage as the number of confirmed cases nears 30,000 (with the real number still suspected of being much higher). The masks stolen by Dali were on their way to the city of Chongqing. When Chongqing told Dali to give the masks back, the government replied that it was too late, and that the 598 masks had already been distributed to its citizens. That didn't sit well with Chongqing, whose government pitched a fit, igniting the backlash on Chinese social media. "Is that a thermometer in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
Shortages are particularly serious in Wuhan, the city with the largest number of cases. The central government said on Saturday that Premier Li Keqiang, the official charged with overseeing the government's response to the outbreak, had asked the EU to help China source more masks. The US has reportedly sent supplies as well.

Praise Gawd For Timely Miracles... www.zerohedge.com/health/wuhan-institute-virology-and-chinese-army-submit-patent-gilead-anti-ebola-drug-fightAmid growing speculation that nCoV-2019, aka novel coronavirus, aka the virus behind the Wuhan Coronavirus epidemic, was developed in a lab (and not just any lab, but the BSL-4 rated "biological weapons" grade Wuhan Institute of Virology, located in... well, Wuhan) which was then released accidentally (or not) among the broader population - a thesis which China's official press is scrambling to refute even as more supportive evidence emerges by the day - we would like to point out that earlier this week, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which as Nature in 2017 said studies the "world's most dangerous pathogens", has jointly with the Military Medicine Institute of the People’s Liberation Army Academy of Military Science, i.e. with China's Army, applied to patent the use of Gilead Sciences’ remdesivir to treat the current coronavirus outbreak. The company has partnered with Chinese health authorities to run a Phase III clinical trial to assess remdesivir for treatment of the virus. The drug was originally developed to treat the Ebola virus, but wasn’t effective. According to preclinical assays the drug might be effective against the coronavirus, 2019-nCoV, as was published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). The drug was given to a U.S. patient for compassionate use on day seven of the disease and their condition improved on day eight. The new clinical trial of an anti-Ebola drug to fight Coronavirus, will be conducted at Friendship Hospital in Beijing, China. The trial will enroll 270 patients with mild and moderate pneumonia caused by the virus. “Gilead is working closely with global health authorities to respond to the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak through the appropriate experimental use of our investigational compound remdesivir. While there are no antiviral data for remdesivir that show activity against 2019-nCoV at this time, available data in other coronaviruses give us hope,” the company stated. The Wuhan Institute submitted the patent application jointly with the Military Medicine Institute of the People’s Liberation Army Academy of Military Science. Researchers with both organizations noted in a paper published in Nature’s Cell Research this week that both remdesivir and chloroquine, used to treat malaria, may be effective in stalling the coronavirus.
That said, "even if the Wuhan Institute’s application gets authorized, the role is very limited because Gilead still owns the fundamental patent of the drug,” said Zhao Youbin, a Shanghai-based intellectual property attorney at Purplevine IP Service Co. “Any exploitation of the patent must seek approval from Gilead." The Wuhan Institute indicated it filed the patent application on January 21 - days before China started officially releasing case information to the public, prompting questions how the Institute was so well prepared and knew just what the appropriate treatment against Coronavirus may be, but also noted it would temporarily drop the patent claims if it had the opportunity to collaborate with foreign biopharma companies to battle the epidemic.Despite the recent breakout of market euphoria, where traders are now convinced that containing the pandemic is just a matter of time, the World Health Organization (WHO), however, is trying to downplay media reports of any drug breakthroughs against the outbreak, stating there are “no known” drugs against the virus. “There are no known effective therapeutics against this 2019-nCoV and WHO recommends enrollment into a randomized controlled trial to test efficacy and safety,” the organization stated today. “A master global clinical trial protocol for research and prioritization of therapeutics is ongoing at the WHO.” Gilead’s remdesivir is an experimental drug that isn’t licensed or approved anywhere in the world. It is being rushed into clinical trials in China. Gilead’s chief medical officer, Merdad Parsey, told Bloomberg that the drug could enter clinical trials in China as early as next week in patients with moderate and severe symptoms. zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b792-20bd8d8fa069.storage.googleapis.com/s3fs-public/styles/inline_image_desktop/public/inline-images/remdesivir.jpg?itok=2PqPe1edChina can manufacture chloroquine and currently wants access to remdesivir. Bloomberg points out that the country’s decision to seek a patent “instead of invoking the heavy-handed ‘compulsory license’ option that lets nations override drug patents in national emergencies, underscores the delicate balancing act before China as it signals commitment toward intellectual property rights alongside curbing the virus outbreak.” “The fact that they have applied for a patent means there’s growing awareness about this in the country,” said Wang Yanhu, a senior partner at Albright Law Offices in Beijing. “The government is compelled to avoid using the compulsory license because it has been making efforts to show China respects intellectual property rights and the abuse of compulsory licensing will draw international criticism.” Gilead is presently shipping enough doses of the drug to China to treat 500 patients and is increasing its supply in case the clinical trials are effective.

I know by this time you are all sick and tired as I am of reading what politicians and armchair experts are saying. That's why I go out of my way to bring to UCB the unspoken unheard of voices..The REAL DEAL at the very front lines of this epidemic. Despite all the doom and gloom..there are real heroes that need to be seen to be believed. Why? Because I care..and well... I'm just that kind of cat. China’s bodybuilding doctor gives update from FRONTLINE of fighting coronavirus Already reports are coming in of miraculous cures just by her presence and bedside manners.
The baby-faced body-building sensation who swept the internet with her stunning cosplay snaps has given an insight into the battle against the coronavirus with updates from the Chinese hospital where she works as a doctor. Yuan Herong racked up hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers for posting saucy photos of her sculpted body. The beauty, who is dubbed ‘Chun-Li’ for her resemblance to the iconic Street Fighter character, always stressed that bodybuilding was just her hobby after she swapped a full-time fitness gig to move into the medical profession. Far from just dressing up as a superhero, the model is now carrying out the role in real life on the frontline in the battle against the novel coronavirus, which has already claimed over 250 lives. The social media star revealed more of her other side recently, as she shared updates from her life as a medic. “I'm a doctor. Must [be] on the front line. Do my best to help the epidemic,” she wrote. 171 cases of new pneumonia were cured and 15,238 suspected cases were found,” another post read. “The healers are all treated through traditional Chinese medicine and other symptomatic treatment. We will try our best to do a good job in prevention and treatment.”

So what are youguys sayin.. we better stop eating both bats and snakes? Plus cancel that culinary Wuhan holiday while we're at it?
purr P.S. if the Chinese gov was involved in creating this bug the silver lining might be they probably (if they are sane) created both a vaccin and serum alongside the pathogen to protect their own military and population.

we better stop eating both bats and snakes?Oh Nothing that drastic Purr Im sure they looked at the pig problem for guidance..best baseline data anywhere...and saw their efforts never really stopped it...so we get to the next phase of hybridized triage.. They have a slew of stolen patents already but have to make it look like they just came up up with it...as I alluded to in my Thank Gawd post/ This just got loose before primetime.. But as of right now.,,it seems they will be applying the klingons solution to their problem as there is no vaccine..and it can be contracted again.
The disease was accidentally created at some point after the Augment Crisis. Due to the Klingon Empire's fear of the genetically engineered Human Augments that took over a Bird of prey with ease, the Empire decided to create their own version of the enhanced warriors to combat this threat. After examining the wreckage from the captured Bird of prey, Doctor Antaak discovered that elements of Augment DNA had survived the vessel's destruction. Using the samples they had taken from the genetically modified Human embryos that were left over from Earth's Eugenics Wars, the Klingon scientists attempted to engineer their own super soldiers. However, the results were unexpected as the warriors did develop enhanced strength and intelligence but the superior nature of the Augment DNA began to overwrite the Klingon elements with the resultant warriors having a more Human appearance. While attempting to stabilize the procedure, the doctors found a subject who had suffered from the Levodian flu, something that the researchers were unaware of at the time. The augmentation process resulted in the flu virus being incorporated into the Augment DNA thus creating the Qu'Vat virus. The once carefully controlled experiment thus became a dangerous epidemic that threatened the Klingon species with extinction as continued infection resulted in the death of the subject. In order to find a cure for the disease that was destroying their civilization, the Klingon empire attempted to capture Arik Soong in order to procure his aid in creating a cure. However, their attempts failed due to high security involved in the detention facility where Soong was being held. Thus, the Klingons arranged for Doctor Phlox to be kidnapped by Rigelian mercenaries along with the assistance of Section 31 agents. Phlox was forced to work with doctor Antaak to create a stable variant of the Augment virus. However, Phlox sought to cure the Klingons of the disease, not create Augments for the Empire. Ultimately, he worked on a countersolution which he did not reveal to his Klingon overseers which was curing the disease during the initial stages of augmentation when the cranial ridges disappeared and some minor neural reordering occurred but before the fatal neural pathway breakdown. At the same time, the Klingon Empire had authorized containment by any means and ordered Admiral Krell to destroy the infected Qu'Vat colony where Phlox was working. Even after he had found a cure, the Admiral was unwilling to accept it and sought to destroy the Klingon base. However, the intervention of the Enterprise and the Columbia prevented the goal from being achieved. Furthermore, Phlox used a transporter to beam a canister of the virus onto Admiral Krell's vessel, thus infecting him and his crew. Thus, Krell ordered his forces to stand down and the cure developed by Phlox was distributed to the infected Klingons throughout the empire. (ENT episodes: "Affliction", "Divergence")

WHO claims Africa is the world’s ticking time bomb.
China is Africa’s biggest trade partner.
If the coronavirus comes to Africa, it will not be stopped.
Africa has poor medical containment.

The consensus is growing that yes its very contagious...but not as lethal as Sars..Africa already has some pre existing although poor infrastructure for delivery of HIV and Aids drugs which we can guess might be effective..in minimizing system shock..barely If designed...it was a success in how fast it spread..tweaking to kill..or target special groups..may get as simple as the dial a nukes we have.
I expect some white washing or watering down if its discovered it was a stolen Canadian sample.. www.zerohedge.com/health/white-house-asks-scientists-investigate-whether-2019-ncov-was-bio-engineered

Real Time Corona Map Map even though we know its dependent on whats reported..courtesy of John Hopkins note the mortality is about 2+ percent but recovery about 8% ..0r 2k+ so there is a big chunk of infected people..confirmed..but ...something is wrong with these numbers..
Update (1100ET): This is bad news for airlines, casinos and virtually every business (restaurants, bars any other business) in the nightlife or entertainment fields. A team of German scientists have determined that the coronavirus can survive for up to 9 days on a surface.
When you quarantine 400M people..1/3 of med staff infected..possibly even Party leaders families, you can bet there will be regime destabilization..or to put it politely..loss of confidence
Collateral damage...dying pets..left unattended after roundup..just like 9/11 reported parks 20k dead ducks...estimated deaths humans..20k ...Tick Tock

Frank..We Hardly Knew Ye
No sooner does the WH announce an investigation to determine whether the current plague is Bio Engineered..Then the Canadian Scientist at epicenter of a theft of Virus Cannisters suddenly dies..and not from old age and of all places..Africa...
Update (1135ET): It seems that Mr. Plummer made a habit of getting the biological material he was working on "stolen," as we found a report from 2009 in the Winnepeg Free Press that details the theft of 22 vials of biological material was "confirmed by scientific director Dr. Frank Plummer." Plummer, allegedly, alerted authorities to the missing material on the same day a former vaccine researcher was arrested by FBI special agents after U.S. Customs discovered the vials stuffed in a glove in the trunk of his car at the Manitoba-North Dakota border crossing. Some of the vials included genes from the deadly Ebola virus, but local scientists say the material is not infectious. But more than a week after the theft came to light, police said no one from the lab has reported the incident. Plummer has said the researcher signed a form declaring he did not steal anything from the lab and understood he was not allowed to. The national lab does not conduct searches of staff when they exit the lab and does not routinely take inventory of the thousands of vials containing non-infectious biological substances. However, court documents allege the former researcher stole the vials on his last day of work at the virology lab in January because "he did not want to start his research over from the beginning when he entered into his next fellowship" with the National Institutes of Health at the Biodefense Research Laboratory in Maryland.Frank Plummer was the key to the Chinese Biological Espionage case at Winnipeg’s National Microbiology Laboratory. Breaking: India launch investigation against China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology Exclusive: Coronavirus Bioweapon – How Chinese agents stole Coronavirus from Canada and weaponized it Exclusive Interview: Bioweapons Expert Dr. Francis Boyle on the Origins of Coronavirus (transcript) Must read piece published worldwide: Coronavirus – China’s Secret Plan to Weaponize Viruses Update: Chinese Biowarfare agents at Harvard University caught smuggling deadly viruses As GreatGameIndia.com detailed earlier, in a very strange turn of events, renowned scientist Frank Plummer who received Saudi SARS Coronavirus sample and was working on Coronavirus (HIV) vaccine in the Winnipeg based Canadian lab from where the virus was smuggled by Chinese Biowarfare agents and weaponized as revealed in GreatGameIndia investigation, has died in mysterious conditions. According to CBC, Plummer, 67, was in Kenya, where he was a keynote speaker at the annual meeting of the University of Nairobi’s collaborative centre for research and training in HIV/AIDS/STIs. Dr. Larry Gelmon, who helped set up that meeting, said Plummer collapsed and was taken to hospital in Nairobi, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
No confirmed cause of death has yet been released. Plummer was born and raised in Winnipeg, where he headed up Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory for several years. He was also involved in an innovative research partnership between the University of Manitoba and the University of Nairobi, established before the world was very aware of HIV/AIDS. “He helped to identify a lot of the key factors that are involved in HIV transmission in the early days,” said Keith Fowke, a professor in the medical microbiology and infectious diseases department at the University of Manitoba. “He was so hopeful that he was on the path that would end with discovery of the HIV vaccine — the road he had started down almost 30 years ago,” said Plummer’s colleague, Dr. Allan Ronald. What is not mentioned in the CBC report however is that Plummer worked in the same National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) in Winnipeg, Canada from where Chinese Biowarfare agent Xiangguo Qiu and her colleagues smuggled SARS Coronavirus to China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology where it is believed to have been weaponized and leaked. Infact, as GreatGameIndia reported in our exclusive report on Coronavirus Bioweapon, as Scientific Director Frank Plummer was the one who acquired the SARS Coronavirus sample of the Saudi patient at the NML Winnipeg Lab from Ron Fouchier, a leading virologist at the Erasmus Medical Center (EMC) in Rotterdam, the Netherlands who was sent the virus by Egyptian virologist Dr. Ali Mohamed Zaki who isolated and identified a previously unknown type of Coronavirus from the Saudi patient’s lungs. Fouchier sequenced the virus from a sample sent by Zaki using a broad-spectrum “pan-coronavirus” real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method to test for distinguishing features of a number of known coronaviruses known to infect humans. This Coronavirus sample arrived at Canada’s NML Winnipeg facility on May 4, 2013 from the Dutch lab received by Frank Plummer. The Canadian lab grew up stocks of the virus and used it to assess diagnostic tests being used in Canada. Winnipeg scientists worked to see which animal species can be infected with the new virus. Research was done in conjunction with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s national lab, the National Centre for Foreign Animal Diseases which is housed in the same complex as the National Microbiology Laboratory. This Winnipeg based Canadian lab was targeted by Chinese agents in what could be termed as Biological Espionage. The viruses was reportedly stolen from the Canadian lab by Chinese Biowarfare agent Xiangguo Qiu and her colleagues and smuggled to none other than the Wuhan Institute of Virology where the virus is believed to be weaponized and leaked. Further, Frank Plummer was also working on HIV vaccine and interesting recently published study be Indian scientists found HIV-like injections in Wuhan Coronavirus – the key that made the jump to people possible. The Indian Scientists came under massive online criticism by Social Media experts and were forced to withdraw their study, in retaliation of which now the Indian authorities have opened an investigation against China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology. Although it should be noted that now China has started using HIV vaccine to cure Coronavirus.Frank Plummer was the key to the entire investigation on the origins of Coronavirus Bioweapon. But will the Canadian government open an investigation into this matter? Unlike their American counterparts who have charged the Chinese Biowarfare agents trying to smuggle deadly viruses from Harvard University, the deatils of the Canadian investigation on the Winnipeg Biological Espionage case is shrouded in secrecy.
