Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

From what I am reading online, Wikipedia for a quick look at the demographics, Wuhan is the capital city of Hubei Province, is the largest city of Hubei with a population of about 11 million people.
From Wiki:
"It is a major transportation hub, with dozens of railways, roads and expressways passing through the city and connecting to other major cities.[25] Because of its key role in domestic transportation, Wuhan is sometimes referred to as "the Chicago of China" by foreign sources."
So no, it's not isolated by any means and seems largely connected to other major cities. But I can appreciate how different cultures could play a role in the rate of spread. That's a good point. I haven't sought out the numbers related to the spread in Wuhan mostly because it's unknown if any information coming out of China is accurate or not. Can it be trusted?
How many in Beijing or Shanghai got it?

Actually it can, it being far worse for those with underlying conditions, such as a compromised immune system! It's not generally fatal for young healthy folks.

Also not suppose to travel while in isolation what do they do? Go to their cabin in Northern Ontario, yep do as I say, not as I do.

If you're in a car travelling from one place to another, how are you spreading the virus? You're indoors.

And I'm assuming his cabin is somewhere in the Canadian wilderness, so not much chance anyone else is going to catch it.

Why give it to innocent critters? Humans have already passed nasty diseases to our wildlife.
