There's been plenty of opportunity for this virus to spread globally by now. It's probably no accident that it is only cropping up as a major issue so far in areas of the northern hemisphere that are going through their winter flu season and is not an issue in subzero or tropical conditions.

Nah. More likely the northern hemisphere has better detection. It's fuckin sub zero here and folk still getting infected. Wuzhen is subtropical. Where that got into your theory? Never hot, never cold. It's the free movement of people that caused the Spanish Flu to propagate, in the wake of WW1 with everycunto going home. Same now, folk returning from the Chin, spread it to places hot and cold. Time will telt if the virus can live there successfuly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to Wuhan loads of times. Hot as hell in summer and a bit cold in winter, mostly because there wasn't heating in many places. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Closest I've been is Nanjing and it's definitely on the chilly side in December and January there. Before Hubei province got locked down any number of people from there would have been in places like Thailand or Indonesia on holiday to get a bit of sunshine with nothing much happening in terms of epidemics because flu like viruses don't last on surfaces when the weather is hot and humid. Meanwhile a group of South Korean bible thumpers visit Wuhan and cause mayhem upon returning to South Korea and Chinese construction workers manage to spread it to Iran where it's also relatively chilly at this time of year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sortmeout Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 My work place have now invoked self-containment for anyone who has been to any of the countries affected or had any contact with anyone who has arrived back from any of around 20 countries in the last 14 days. I had relatives arrive home from Vietnam about 6 days before the 14 day cut off. Gutted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worktheshaft Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Trump says they are beating the virus bigly. Has put Mike Pence in charge, says he has great talent for the job.

Whether that Seoul closure really will be only a week is open to speculation. I've got holiday coming up in April and asked my boss today what the travel situation was likely to look like by then. We then had an off-the-record chat where the gaffer where we were advised it would be unwise to book flights too far into the future. April is considered too far into the future to be wise. We got the "on the record" message not to book flights until June and to book flexi-tickets or ones we can cancel as far away as August Hilariously, we are not to visit Singapore, Malyasia, Korea or Japan (with their excellent healthcare systems) but toilets like Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos are fine. Total nonsense. Edited February 27, 2020 by Booker_d 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Switzerland has entered the race with its first confirmed case, the positive result coming from a resident of my very own Kanton Aargau. I might delete that post I made yesterday where I said I’d been feeling a little under the weather. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
