Apparently it's gonna be called SARI (not SIRI) and it's definitely branching off from SARS, but WHO's like chill bro it's alll good
Young Chinese online users (we call them Little Pinks) and/or paid users are saying USA had 6600 dead from the flu so stop intefering with China, the other rebuttal was AIDS killed almost a million did you wear condoms after?
They don't care what happens to their own people they just want to defend motherland for some reason. I feel the rest of the world outside Asia's mostly like "just be aware of it and it will arrive one day but we'll cure it it's ok" while in China it's a different story - parents been sent home from hospitals to die and a lot of patients are not diagnosed with the new disease so they don't occupy resources. Feel very sad for them.
One Chinese expert based in HK went to Wuhan for a day then rushed home the next day - he's suppose to go to the "crime scene" to investigate the origin - unfortunately the scene (a market) is very very clean right now, people were living as normal no precautions, so he bolted and next day the city's locked. It's on various international mainstream media now, only 1 local Chinese site is reporting this now.
PS Xi and the prime minister are holed up in non-contaminated areas right now, thought they should at least pretend to be in the affected area to calm people down.
