Yep, new strain. New test kits to public facilities next week. Key health workers identified for future call up, or so I hear.
Big question is mortality rates as foreign govt. numbers are unreliable as is their media. We shall see when it gets here. Numbers seem quite low at present, hype and fear, a valuable objective, is established.
Unsure abt. vaccine but sources seem confident, so probably done deal for limited dist.

G Beck also mentioned yesterday how many rely on auto parts from these countries.
i have been seeing Gm. headlights and etc. coming from China.
This virus has the potential to effect many things.
The wider it spreads into more diverse populations, the more likely the virus will recombine with something else and change its behaviour. Any talk of early vaccine availability will fuel speculation that this is a man-caused outbreak.
If there are isolated cases in the US and Europe, the notion that it has not reached India and Africa does not seem credible.
Prepare individually and watch is about all we can do.
