Wuhan virology institute denies rumors
The Wuhan Institute of Virology has denied online rumors that one of its graduates was “patient zero” of the coronavirus outbreak. The institute has been the subject of numerous rumors and conspiracy theories since the outbreak began.
A statement (link in Chinese) from the institute said the student in question is healthy, has been working outside Hubei province, and has not gone back to Wuhan since graduation.
“Patient zero” refers to the first person to contract and spread a virus, beginning an epidemic. In the Covid-19 outbreak, patient zero remains unknown. An article published in British medical journal The Lancet studying the first batch of 41 patients in Wuhan said that the symptom onset date of the first patient identified was Dec. 1.
Lab researchers and medical experts around the world have also denied rumors that the virus was man-made or leaked by the lab. The Wuhan Institute of Virology is the only P4 level biosafety laboratory in China, the country’s highest level of biosecurity.

Since some here are in philosophizing mode tonight...
a question...
At which point does regular job become rather meaningless?
When savings equal 50 yearly salaries? 100? 1000?
Personally, I think that the number is very individual and depends on whether you like you regular job or not.
However, I would think that at 500-1000X most would consider at least easing out of a regular job and, maybe, pursue some personal growth hobbies or activities (travel, yachting, art, collecting, etc).
I am still working for a living and will be for a duration, hopefully.

LOL

2 new cases, 10% increase in cases under investigation.  Not a great sign.

To date, a total of 15 cases have fully recovered from the infection and have been discharged from hospital. Of the 35 confirmed cases who are still in hospital, most are stable or improving. Eight are in critical condition in the intensive care unit.

Honestly: How many dead are we supposed to have tomorrow?

Their are a lot of great cars that you can buy that will actually appreciate in value, as a good investment, even including some Lambos..
Don't buy a newer Lambo whose value is falling off a cliff, buy a classic Lambo whose value is steady and going up from here..

Off the top of my head some good investment cars would be an e30 M3, Porsche 951/928.. 911s might be a bit overbought still but will hold great value..

You guys are talking about buying modern electronics packed cars that will be a maintenance nightmares destined for the crusher.. (Mercedes)
Maybe a classic Mercedes Cosworth would be a good option..  

For anything relatively new I would look into the new Corvettes.. Probably faster than them Lambos and cheaper to buy/maintain, more reliable, etc..

I don't like newer cars much though..
No way I'd sink money into a new Range Rover.. You'd probably lose more money on the rover than you would on a new Lambo..
Those things are very expensive new and depreciate like wildfire due to their incredible unreliability, always breaking..
They are owned by India's Tata and have been plagued by horrible quality control in their Chinese manufacturing..
Google "Land Rover china" (coronachan bites them recently) and then "Land Rover china quality control" to see about their recent issues..

HEALTHCARE WORKER AMONG BRITS INFECTED

A healthcare worker at Worthing Hospital is among the eight confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK.

Staff at the West Sussex hospital received a memo on Tuesday telling them a member of staff working in A&E had been infected with the disease.

A spokeswomen for the Department of Health said that all services at the hospital, including surgery, were operating as normal.

It is understood the healthcare worker at Worthing Hospital is not the same person as the doctor working in Brighton, who is also one of the eight cases.

CORONAVIRUS PRISONER' WAS DRUG-DEALING KINGPIN EXTRADITED FROM THAILAND

An alleged drug-dealing kingpin is at the centre of a suspected corona-virus outbreak at a high-security jail.

Mark Rumble, 31, arrived back in the UK on January 27 after being extradited from Thailand to face charges of conspiracy to supply class A drugs.

He collapsed in his cell at category B HMP Bullingdon, near Bicester, Oxfordshire, days later.

Tonight hundreds of inmates were confined to their cells as panic spread.

An entire wing at the jail has been shut off with three cons now being tested for coronavirus.

BOJO SAYS RELAX

The PM has said the UK should be “confident and calm” amid the coronavirus threat.

He has urged Brits to “simply follow [the NHS'] advice”.

He spoke as cases rose across the UK.

Having a larger more educated workforce should pay off in the long run.  If the costs are insanely high like current private college costs then maybe you're right though.

2 new cases but significant decrease in cases under investigation.

I hate all of you punny folk so much right now.
