Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

Per NYT-
“ China is requiring people to use an app so they can be assigned a color code — green, yellow or red — that indicates their health status. However, the app appears to send personal data to police, in a troubling precedent for automated social control.”

We're suddenly worried about China's social control when that country had the one-child law ... for how long?

I posted as it’s an update on the virus and what the home of the outbreak is doing. It’s not meant to comment on their overall history or imply it’s as bad as things they’ve done in the past.

this is the same as "it snowed, so global warming is fake" -- with influenza high heat and humidity doesn't eliminate the virus but it slows the spread which makes it easier to contain the outbreak and we have no idea what effect it has on covid-19

I thought the friendly conditions for coronavirus were cold & dry or hot & wet. Like the only places left that are safe are Phoenix and Ithaca.

Presumably this also affects that "social credit score" thing they do over there.

Pretty sure coronavirus hasn't made it to the tropical paradise that is Grand Forks yet. ;)

To be fair, what are the facts behind this?

Are these people who caught it somewhere else and came back to Tampa? Or, did it actually spread in Tampa? The second question is the important one.

From a BBC story I heard today, the reason they found the Kirkland case was the CDC changed their guidelines from testing people who had traveled to anybody the doctor thinks displays symptoms. The case was somebody who hasn't traveled at all, so he picked it up locally. They theorize the virus has actually been active in the area for weeks, under the radar.

Of course that also suggests the infection and lethality rates are lower than they thought, too, so yay I guess?
