I'm sure this is just a coincidence.
A laboratory in Wuhan is on the cusp of being cleared to work with the world’s most dangerous pathogens. The move is part of a plan to build between five and seven biosafety level-4 (BSL-4) labs across the Chinese mainland by 2025, and has generated much excitement, as well as some concerns. |

Meanwhile in local news, a plane from Wuhan that took off just before they closed it down has been permitted to land at Kalibo airport. This is an airport that services one of the Philippines hottest tourist destinations, Boracay.
This won't end badly. Definitely not.

Normally, it's bird flu, monkey pox, or whatever and wall-to-wall "we all might die!!" coverage, which is a good sign it's nothing. This time, most of the coverage I see is tilting towards "this will be under control fast, don't worry". In my lifetime, I can't recall a quarantine on ONE city, much less multiple cities with a combined population of 20 mil. Really not sure what to make of this. |

It’s the 6th or 7th largest city in China depending the source. |

Is snake to human transmission a very significant finding/factor when it comes to viruses?
Link to an article on drudge regarding a study that there is evidence it went from bats to snakes to humans. https://www.studyfinds.org/chinese-coronavirus-outbreak-traced-back-to-snakes-study-finds/ So, while the very beginnings of 2019-nCoV appear to be linked to bats, researchers also found evidence that the coronavirus at some point made its way into snakes before ultimately reaching human patient zero. It was this aforementioned ability to recombine within the viral receptor-binding protein that likely facilitated the virus’ cross-species transmission from snakes to humans. |
