Coronavirus – The African Connection
The three main areas of Chinese business in Africa are transport, which generally means building airports and railways; energy which means building power stations; and grids and metals which means mines.
One of the airports the Chinese funded and built is Bole International Airport in Ethiopia.
The flights from China arriving at Bole International come from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Hong Kong. Just yesterday the Chinese government added China’s 5th largest city Guangzhou to its list of locked down quarantined cities. Which strikes me as news. For Guangzhou to have been quarantined means it must already have a large number of cases. Guangzhou is not near to Wuhan, the source of the Corona virus outbreak. It is near to Hong Kong.
It is linked to both by high speed rail and internal air travel. Guangzhou airport is in fact the third busiest in China and the 13th busiest in the world handling over 65 million passengers per year.
So… the spread of the Corona virus in Guangzhou has got so serious that the Chinese government has quarantined it. Yet till now flights from there to Ethiopia were running. Of course I have no idea how many passengers were actually on those flights nor where they might have originated from. But the rail and air links from Wuhan and other cities to Guangzhou and the fact that Guangzhou is therefore the hub to which any workers going to Africa would have passed through, does raise a few questions. Remember, 1500 per day on average (meaning in ‘normal times’ which these are not) through Bole international from China alone.

Coronavirus 'Super-Spreader' Infects 57 In Hospital As China Continues To Refuse CDC Help
Disturbing Details
A New Report on 138 Coronavirus Cases Reveals Disturbing Details including the emergence of a super-spreader.
One patient, admitted to a hospital in Wuhan, China, infected at least 10 health care workers and four other patients [actual suspect total is 57 see study below].
The patient who infected so many health workers had been placed in a surgical ward because of abdominal symptoms, and the coronavirus was not initially suspected. Four other patients in that ward also contracted the disease, presumably from the first patient.
The incident was a chilling reminder of the “super-spreaders” in outbreaks of other coronavirus diseases, SARS and MERS — patients who infected huge numbers of other people, sometimes dozens. The phenomenon is poorly understood and unpredictable, an epidemiologist’s nightmare. Super-spreaders led to considerable transmission of MERS and SARS inside hospitals.
Super-Spreader Infects 40 Health Care Workers
The JAMA Report, published on Friday, is among the most comprehensive articles to date about people infected with the newly identified virus.

50,000 New Infections/Day In China?
Prof. Neil Ferguson, Vice Dean Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College in London, estimates 50K new infections per day.
10 Key Video Points
1. 50,000 new cases a day in china
2. Infections doubling every 5 days
3. Death rate is still unknown
4. China likely to peak in March
5. Epidemic peak is still a month away
6. It will be very hard to control this epidemic the say way we did with SARS 15-20 years ago
7. Cases are always underestimated
8. Death delays are as long as three weeks
9. Reported deaths outside China are not reassuring because of delays
10. We still don't know the full effects
Stop the Ridiculous Flu Comparisons
People are still comparing this outbreak with the flu.
Stop already!

Update (2240ET): And so the epidemic reaches China's capital Beijing. As gnews reports, as the coronavirus spreads from Wuhan, China has been implementing “closed management” by putting 80 cities under lockdown, and on Monday, Beijing authorities also issued a “Strict Closed Management of Residential Communities” in an epidemic prevention and control announcement (link here). It is an official declaration that Beijing, the country’s capital city of China, is now under lockdown.

All those clueless hacks who warned us for years not to trust China's economic numbers, yet were so gullible to believe any coronavirus pandemic "data" released by Beijing are going to look pretty stupid right about now.
Hubei just released its latest round of coronavirus outbreak figures, and in a clear confirmation of the 'conspiracy theory' that China had altered the way it was reporting Covid-19 deaths and cases - clearly in order to suggest that things were improving and you should go back to work, while ideally buying stocks, the province at the epicenter of the Coronavirus pandemic just came clean and the numbers are stunning.
The number of cases exploded by 14,840, resulting in a total of 48,206 cases, including 13,332 clinically diagnose cases:

My respect for Zerohedge has increased a lot recently. Almost nobody trusts the "official" stats any more.
icnif77:
Yeah, despite it is a blog site, I 'measured' Zero posts any NEWS first. Sometimes they do c&p from other sources, but that happened rarely.
It was much better website in the past ... it changed few years ago.
I am there (my 1st am read) longer than 20 years.
5-6 articles per page on Corona ... if you look for nCoV-19 news/stats, one must head to Zero, first.
