Better have a drink or two before reading as some of the news isn't good.

Virus appears to be treatable with existing HIV medications.

This is interesting because I was just thinking about the Spanish flu. I'm completely cut off from all news and info so this thread was the first I'd heard of it. The Spanish flu was way cooler

Just last year, the protests in China....in Wuhan.....about pollution and other things had people in the streets. Clashes between police and citizens were at a very high level.

Now, people are being told to hide from a virus. The streets are cleared.

Things are getting worse in China and the extent of the bodies being cremated is showing up on satellite scans over the Wuhan area (sulfur dioxide) and in some parts food rationing has began.

How badly is this likely to affect China as an emerging world power?

How badly is this likely to affect China as an emerging world power?

Flu victims: 40,000
Population: 1,400,000,000
Percent: .003

If China stops their propaganda bs, minor. If they continue to subdue media and taking drastic measurements on their own population, major.

Let's hope it never gets to that level, 2nd wave Spanish flu is pretty much GG. So in regards to the news, people got corona virus on a cruise ship, people had to stay on cruise ship, more people got sick. It's a mystery.

How is China, and other world powers, optimizing this to their political favors?

So China's numbers were incomplete (who knew....) but it's not a disaster.

To put a realistic perspective on the situation: it's mainly China that is in problems because their infrastructure can't handle the situation. For the Western world it's much less of an issue, currently. The priority is to sustain the outbreak
and to push the vaccination process asap.

I'm working together with hospitals from Singapore, which is close within the outbreak vicinity, currently a general "recommended" quarantine process is active (stay at home as much as possible)

It's a test for humanity, to be honest. These kind of outbreaks will happen more often, as long as we -as a world population- can react fast enough accordingly, we can handle it.
