Looks like the quarantines for the #2019-nCoV outbreak are starting to affect supplies of parts and components used in producing products such as Nintendo #Switch gaming consoles and #Tesla vehicles. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/51353147
I guess that's the bad side of JIT and similar inventory management practices which reduce the inventory of incoming parts.

Medical official briefly admits #2019-nCoV #coronavirus fatality rate is 4.9%.
(Remember to take this with a grain of salt, as there is no way to confirm this number and the official numbers are still showing a far lower 2-3% rate.)

@geniusmusing It sounds like they could use some help in the SpeciesForce*, where they're fighting #2019-nCoV. @sean
* The name is made up, but I would not be surprised to find that there was a special unit created to deal with just such an outbreak.

Many people talk about omg what if it mutates and becomes more fatal, but the power of the #2019ncov so far has been its ability to be carried without even causing symptoms.There are three main scenarios, one unlikely and two likely:1. Flares up and dies out: This is what happened to SARS and MERS. Easy to diagnose, easy to contain. Our current virus i…

They're about to announce an official name for the #2019-nCoV #coronavirus. That's important because coronaviruses can cause everything from minor colds to deadly respiratory conditions like #SARS and #MERS. They want to get specific.

36% of US cases of #2019-nCoV are in the San Francisco Bay Area
Still no reason to panic. That’s 4 out of 11 US cases.

http://status.hackerposse.com/url/20047 [cnet] #2019-nCoV #coronavirus ... 12,000 known cases, 250 known deaths; nations imposing travel bans to prevent the virus’ spread. Much less deadly so far than related coronaviruses #SARS and #MERS. Possibly originated in snakes or bats, with bats (being mammals) considered more likely. Not known to be spread by foods (consuming dece…

By the way, I'm not talking about going to extremes. I'm saying that if necessary, it is sensible to be able to avoid public places for a few days.
.
I don't see the current #2019-nCoV strain of #coronavirus as a civilization-ender. Nor was the #SARS strain or the #MERS strain. As I said, take it seriously enough to prepare, but do not panic.

@moonman @dielan At last report, #2019-nCoV #coronavirus still had a 2% fatality rate and has already infected more people than its relative #SARS did over a period of almost two years. If it gets loose here and tag-teams with #influenza, it could kill thousands. Or more. . I think it is justified to take it seriously. Not to the point that you poop in your pants and sit in th…

#NYPost: Chinese nurse whistleblower claims 90K infected with #2019-nCoV. https://nypost.com/2020/01/26/coronavirus-whistleblower-nurse-says-china-has-90000-sick/
I personally think this level of infection would be difficult to hide for more than a few days. Despite quarantine rules, people in the hardest hit areas would probably start fleeing by foot looking for ways to save themselves.

The US #CDC’s page on #2019-nCoV: http://status.hackerposse.com/url/20010 As @clacke@libranet.de pointed out, the Wuhan outbreak currently has an estimated fatality rate of 2%, which is extremely high. Fortunately, it has only infected a very small number of people. Compare to its relative #SARS which struck around 8,000 people over a period of a year or two, killing near…
