Here is a list of all the Coronaviruses that I've found that can occur in Asia (It's not a complete list, but it's the ones I've found thus far):
```Miniopterus bat coronavirus 1 (more or less worldwide)
Miniopterus bat coronavirus HKU8 (same as above)
Rhinolophus bat coronavirus HKU2 (China)
Scotophilus bat coronavirus 512 (China)
Human coronavirus HKU1 (Hong Kong)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related_coronavirus / SARS (China)
2019 novel coronavirus (China)
Bulbul coronavirus HKU11 (China)
Porcine coronavirus HKU15 (Hong Kong)
Rousettus bat coronavirus GCCDC1 (possibly included, given how a few other coronoaviruses transmitted through the same bat end up originating in China)
Bat Hp-betacoronavirus Zhejiang2013 (China)
Pipistrellus bat coronavirus HKU5 (Japan and/or Hong Kong)
Rousettus bat coronavirus HKU9 (China)```

notice how most of them are in China lmfao

2020-02-12 18:57:54 UTC  

is h1n1 or whatever there?

2020-02-12 18:57:55 UTC  

suspect it's down to population density + number, combined with being in an environment where the animals that carry the source virus are

2020-02-12 18:58:00 UTC  

probably

2020-02-12 18:58:20 UTC  

but also due to some of the species (Rousettus in particular) being native to the area

2020-02-12 18:58:24 UTC  

much like the case of Ebola

2020-02-12 18:58:27 UTC  

the WHO is currently praising China 😛

2020-02-12 18:58:54 UTC  

@wacka H1N1 is in an entirely different class of virus than SARS

2020-02-12 18:58:57 UTC  

apparently

2020-02-12 18:59:22 UTC  

so not in the coronavirus family?

2020-02-12 18:59:29 UTC  

nah

2020-02-12 18:59:34 UTC  

it's from the Orthomyxoviridae family

2020-02-12 18:59:51 UTC  

they did all the research for bird flu right down the road from my first office

2020-02-12 19:00:07 UTC  

nice

2020-02-12 19:00:38 UTC  

and my business partner is a bit of a hypochondriac so I made sure to let him know 😛

2020-02-12 19:01:23 UTC  

then we got a contract with them .. and he had to go down there every day... to the GSK office.. but I think it was a whole different area... its pretty big place

2020-02-12 19:06:28 UTC  

LOL, The Express aren't trying to spread panic... umm, honest...

On the coronavirus about a week ago I was in a ward next to the isolation unit the york cases are in at the RVI

2020-02-12 19:34:12 UTC  

UNCLEAN!

2020-02-12 19:34:32 UTC  

they had a fucking police guard and Sci-Fi tier darkblue LED's on the corridor leading to it

2020-02-12 19:34:41 UTC

2020-02-12 19:34:52 UTC  

probably UV light

2020-02-12 19:36:34 UTC  

from what my oncologist told me its designed as a fucking fortress

2020-02-12 19:36:44 UTC  

with good reason

2020-02-12 19:36:57 UTC  

you don't want unauthorised people getting in or out

2020-02-12 19:37:08 UTC  

exactly

2020-02-12 19:38:37 UTC  

even the doctors inside are volunteers that agree to be quarantined with any patients inside

2020-02-12 19:38:58 UTC  

and some triple airlock system

2020-02-12 19:39:04 UTC  

damn

2020-02-12 19:39:09 UTC  

sounds like some Resident Evil ass shit

2020-02-12 19:40:08 UTC  

the ward also had a full lab and pharmacy built in so nothing has to go in or out

2020-02-12 19:40:26 UTC  

its fucking crazy

2020-02-12 19:45:50 UTC  

Why are the Lords getting a payrise

2020-02-12 19:45:54 UTC  

Scummy

2020-02-12 19:47:10 UTC
