did you just watch netflix? why are you trying to murder me!

new scientist is -not- a credible science journal

it's a leftist rag posing as a science journal

Well

2019-nCoV seems to not be as shit for young white people

good

in terms of how bad it is:
Asians>Africans ≥ Arabs > Whites
IIRC

I'm not sure how bad it is for pacific islanders

but it's probably worse than Africans or Arabs

i hope they have a plan in hand for making sure it spreads to sub saharan africa

I'm also not too sure about Native Amerindians, but I'd assume that they've got it about as bad as whites do

Arabs already went through a similar virus (MERS) a few years back

so I doubt it'll be all THAT bad for them

WHO is updating on coronavirus again if anyones interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nctK1xavQ-k

Also, China seems to be in a unique position for Coronaviruses

insofar as they're more likely to be massively fucked by them

for two reasons

No point following the updates - fuck all I can do about anything

1) There have been several viruses from the Coronavirus family in the past couple years that have been spotted in China
2) This group of viruses in particular seems to affect Asians the most (not just 2019-nCoV, but Coronaviruses in general*)

*this is **mostly** true, except for the rare cases of coronaviruses that end up in other parts of the world (such as MERS)

you can buy supplies

like what?

it's a virus, there's nothing you can do about it

you can avoid people

lol

i burdened myself with crushing debt to live in the countryside, i already 'avoid people'

do you have supplies?

like what?

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

is h1n1 or whatever there?

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

probably

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

much like the case of Ebola

the WHO is currently praising China 😛

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

apparently

so not in the coronavirus family?

nah
