historians and archaeologists wonder about the last civilizations. They cannot understand how a flourishing civilization or an empire suddenly disappeared from the face of the without any traces of the cause for its demise.

We may be witnessing the beginnings of the downfall of the great Chinese Empire with the Wuhan virus.
The coronavirus is infecting many parts of China and is slowly spreading to other countries consists of a rapidly spreading virus, known as 2019-nCoV.
From Los Angeles times

Some experts hypothesized that China’s response is an overcorrection to its handling of the SARS outbreak in 2003. Chinese authorities were criticized for not acting quickly enough, allowing the deadly virus to infect 8,000 people worldwide.

“People were very angry that they failed to share what was going on rapidly,” said New York University bioethics professor Arthur Caplan. “They definitely may be trying to look transparent or do the best they can.”

And if there’s one country that could pull off these large-scale quarantines, it’s China, he said.

In addition to being ruled by an authoritarian government, Chinese people tend to be more community-oriented and willing to do things for the greater good than Americans, who are more focused on their individual liberties and freedoms, Caplan said.

“Those values have muted some of the protesting and dissent that you might get if you tried to do it elsewhere,” he said. “China can clearly enforce.”

Caplan pointed out that telling people to stay inside the boundaries of a massive city is less restrictive than a traditional quarantine that forces people to stay inside their homes all day. Most people who live in Los Angeles, for example, don’t leave the city on a daily basis.

Still, any restrictions on freedom are touchy in the United States. Here, public health officials often refrain from using the word quarantine as to not stir backlash. When a nurse flying into Newark airport was quarantined because officials feared she had Ebola, she, with the help of the ACLU, later sued then-New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

people will likely begin — if they haven’t already — obsessing about sore throats and other cold symptoms, worried they have caught the coronavirus.

McGory compared what’s happening in Wuhan to shutting down Chicago, as both are major university-filled cities in the middle of the country.

“How long could you shut Chicago down before chaos ensues?” he said. “We’ll see.”

I am more concerned about India and its response.

Some of the news reports pictures and videos produce more levity rather than confidence in their response.

I see experts talking about "we have to be more careful" WTF you mean by "careful"

I see medical providers wearing incomplete barrier clothing standing in the open and checking the temperature of passengers alighting from a Air India plane.

What kind of protection was provided to the cabin crew?

I see providers using a Mercury sphygmomanometer for checking the blood pressure once again wearing incomplete barrier clothing.

No details are given as to what tests were done to say all those persons who were brought in from China were tested negative for the coronavirus.

Where did the testing cartridges come from and what kind of testing was done nobody tells any specifics.

And this is the chaotic Democratic densely populated country next to two the authoritarian China.

for billion+ population they have four isolation beds!

Now let the union health minister and defense minister answer how many body bags and barrier clothing is available in the country.

I am reminded of lack of body bags the Indian Army to bring back dead bodies
recently in the Tawang crash.

Indian Armed Forces Don't Have A Single Body-Bag To Ensure A Dignified Final Journey For Its Fallen

and some years ago in the Kargil war.

"The last time the central government floated a tender for body bags, or even coffins, for the armed forces was almost 16 years ago and burnt its fingers.

“Right after the Kargil war and the commencement of Operation Vijay in 1999, the government had put an order for 3000 body bags and 500 aluminium caskets for the martyrs. Out of this, we received about 900 body bags and 150 caskets from a company in 2001,” an Army official told Outlook. “The total cost of acquiring this equipment was around USD 4,00,000 at that time.”

After the news of the coffin scam broke out and the government and army were accused of having purchased the coffins at allegedly 13 times the original amount, these body bags were ordered to be kept under the supervision of the Patiala House sessions court.

In March 2017, the Supreme Court passed an order for the ministry of defence to take back the consignment of 900 body bags from the Patiala court. But it remains in court as the CBI has not released all inquiry documents."
