There were heavy traffic from freeway for miles coming home from my open house. I thought there was auto accident and thought nothing of it until I saw the event at a new Vietnamese Buddhist Temple. Oh, this is the Chinese celebration of year of rats. Last night I thought I heard gun shots fired at mid night. Check through a neighborhood website that people lite fire crackers in celebration of a Chinese New Year.
So what is new? I read through an Indian newspaper that the Central China snake virus that broke out all from a wild life meat market. You can buy camel meat, baby wolf cubs, snakes, rats, raccon, live foxes, monkey, scorpian, civet(cat like animals) as well as dogs etc. for food consumption. Their meat possess warm energy to invigorate folks blood circulation in the winter. That is a 2000 year old recipe.
A few days ago I blogged about how the viruses spread and had to update the fatalities stats at least once a day. This morning as the viruses spread it added 15 more death in China. People infected can result in a death fatality hours if not days. Most of infected death were market workers and hospital staff. In Taiwan, a patient walked in for fever treatment has been identified as positive and he was in contact with 6 hospital workers now the people in contact are being isolated for observation. How did he get through the airport? Well, he took aspirins and was not detected by the thermometer.
As of this morning 1/26/2020 there were 56 deaths and 2,082 confirmed tested as positive patients. This is 2.7% of death rate. China started the construction of second field hospital that will house 1,300 patients in a shorter time from ground up in 14 days. It seems to have gone out of hand as Shanghai and Hong Kong Disneylands are closed. In Shanghai they just reported first case of break out.
As the mutant virus develop more ability to affect human, Canada just declared 1st case. US has two known cases so we know this virus is spreading fast.
I have surgical masks, thermometers ready and canceled all traveling plans. I use hand sanitizer disinfectedas often as needed. People are selling Disney(DIS) stocks expecting a so so market if not depressed next week at Wall Street.
Welcome to the year of rats. Well, rats!
