    "CDC director Dr Robert Redfield estimates that as many as
    1 in 4
    people with coronavirus are asymptomatic, i.e. will not show outward symptoms, but can still pass the virus on without knowing."

    BBC reporting on the wildlife trade:

    Wet markets can be "timebombs" for epidemics, says Prof Andrew Cunningham, deputy director of science at the Zoological Society of London (ZSL). "This sort of way that we treat... animals as if they're just our commodities for us to plunder - it comes back to bite us and it's no surprise."

    I really hope some good can come out of this experience in changing the way we treat wild and farmed animals.

    I don't believe any conspiracy theories at all about this virus. It takes zero stretch of the imagination for anyone who's been to a Chinese wet market to understand that a disease would spread like this.

    Are they all passenger flights, or could some / many be cargo, mail flights?

    so many comments on that tweet showing Asia with few flights while US is rammed with flights, calling it FAKE and when looking on flightradar24, I would agree its fake as FXXX.

    one of the UK news channels ran a story about the airline downturn and showed passenger planes being used for cargo, with all the seats full of boxes, so possible also that some are passenger planes with no passengers.

    The term "herd immunity" should just be replaced by "herd death".

    Fortunately it's not just the "herd" dying, but some notables as well, or this plan could continue...

    This was the state of Singapore two weeks ago (Prime Minister canvassing for votes for a planned upcoming election in a local hawker center, around March 22nd, distributing hand sanitizer). No social distancing nor masking visible.

    Two weeks later the country is in semi-lockdown...
