Is this just a coincidence?

I fully admit this is definitely fear porn territory, but if only 25% of this is accurate china is screwed. Read the full blog, lots of Twitter feeds and translations with accounts of the situation on the ground.

Also, if you do come down with the Flu, curl up with a cup of hot tea and read The Stand by Stephen King

Some people on other forums mention the movie medical thriller Contagion. I see the trailer video on Youtube and later in day see short video end of movie, which depicts how the virus start and it is sort of creepy.

Fiction describing the unknown has no place in a serious discussion.

That is scary. I just read somewhere else that dirt was being piled high to prevent people from leaving infected areas. Common sense tells me that hospitals are either out or running low on supplies.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this came from a mishandled biological weapon the Chinese were working on in Wuhan. No government in the world would admit the truth... because every government works on secret biological weapons, including ours.

They are looking for hotels without A/C in Wuhan.
So far they found 85. Not clear how many rooms total.

They hurriedly are building 2!!! additional hospitals- why are they so sure they would need it so fast?
Somebody is not talking... looks like they know more than they let on...
