Just imagine that outbreak with today's movement of people. If they could not vaccinate against it practically everyone in the world would get it and it would just depend if you survived it or not.

China coronavirus spread is accelerating, Xi Jinping warns



The spread of a deadly new virus is accelerating, Chinese President Xi Jinping warned, after holding a special government meeting on the Lunar New Year public holiday.

Sounds sensible. Longer term though, it looks like the Chinese have a big job on their hands getting to grips with the causes of such diseases taking hold - hygiene and not eating 'exotic' and potentially contagious animals.

They also need to do away with the complete quackery that is traditional Chinese medicine which the 'lost generation' are so fond of.

Yes. Definitely. A lot of progress has occurred in China so quickly that it's amazing not only what has occurred but what is lagging behind.
