Got a blowout on the 10ft Ifor tonight
There’s a second not that great
Currently I’ve 600’s but would like all 650’s as easier on the Jeep
Would 2 650’s on the back and 2 600’s on the front be a bad idea for a few months?

Anyone considering finding a cave in the mountains to live as a hermit for a year or so till Wuhan blows over?

Nope, it seems to be a fairly low risk strain.
IF the Chinese are telling the truth re. numbers dead, ( which I doubt) then its low risk.
Instead of a cave in the mountains, I'm swopping to Indian takeaways for a while......

China is overstocked. Not enough air space for all of them.

That's it. Some workforce tho

To be honest I am worried about it here. Not for me but both of the parents have underlying health issues with one of them having COPD, and respiratory problems are the biggest danger with this I believe.
I technically still have asthma but haven't been on an inhaler since 2008 so like I said, not worried for me.

I know it's small minded but it always surprises me when I hear if an outbreak in a far off land thinking it's a world away. Then ya hear of a person getted tested as they are only back from that region. The world we live in

It's thought the virus started in a live animal market and could be a virus from bats being sold in the market that passed to snakes being sold in the market that passed to humans through the air.

I read somewhere earlier that there is some super secure lab in Wuhan harboring a myriad of different virus and diseases. Most likely for research purposes. The US has a place like it too. Anyway, story goes, something went wrong over there and this virus got out

For now, I'd be more interested in Rabies, closer to home.

Does rabies qualify under species re-introduction under the re-wilding movement?
If so, would one get bonus points if it was found in a wolf?
Would a vegan wolf be a good compromise solution for farmers and rewilders?
So many possibilities, all that's needed is an open mind or maybe a rabid one ...

Reminds me of the Irish film "Dead Meat". I think it was filmed in Leitrim. Kovu might know more about it.

Please God there are no more instances within the exclusion zone or anywhere else on the island of Ireland. If so then we can more or less kiss goodbye to our beef industry especially live exports.

This part of the world(China, Laos, Vietnam) is the epicentre of the illegal trade in endangered wildlife. Hopefully local governments will learn a lesson from this and take proper measures to shut down for good this immensely destructive trade that has had dire consequences for iconic species as far away as South Africa etc
