Wuhan, Hubei province and the COVID-19 : Comments

By Peter Bowden, published 11/3/2020

i made several trips to Wuhan, spending many weeks there. The purpose was to implement an Australian aid funded environmental clean-up program.

The Chinese have a unique opportunity to upgrade their hygiene, and as a lesson taught them by this pandemic? And retrofit millions of domiciles, with millions of made in china, Aussie innovation, as individual two-tank biological digestors that treat and thoroughly sanitise human waste.

These things can be buried under roads etc. if space is paramount? Or under basements/public parks, in some cases. the treated waste produces endless biogas that can be scrubbed and fed into another Aussie innovation, i.e., ceramic fuel cells also made in China.

And from that light, heat and cool domiciles, refrigerate food, fire up the TV and laptop etc/etc, with a 50 or 60% saleable electrical energy surplus.

And endless free hot water.

This would require mountains of steel, iron ore and metallurgical coal, for this massive economic boosting change. and end forever coal-fired home heating or coal-fired electrical energy wherever this plan is adopted as widespread implementation.

Reduce the huge smog problem that is Bejing, Shanghai etc!

Only the pragmatic Chise could do it and massively reduce their carbon footprint at the same time, given this 80% energy coefficient, combination, produces mostly water vapour!

Seriously, the fuel cell does not burn the scrubbed biogas, but rather, converts it via a catalytically assisted chemical process.

Sob, weep, Gnash teeth, rip garments, pull hair, will probably kill our thermal coal sales to them, but massively increase our metallurgical coal sales and in sufficient quantity, to more than, completely offset the lost thermal coal sales and for a least five years and beyond!

The by-products are thoroughly sanitised and reusable irrigation water, and sanitised, carbon-rich, soil improver. And given it is a closed system, is smell free.

If poo is the problem, then turn it around and make part of a pragmatic, doable solution, that can be progressively rolled out! All while massively turbocharging their economy and putting the entire nation into monumental, productive work!

Alan B the Plague is caused by a microbe not a virus. There is also an inoculation for it. A workmate had the inoculation in India in the 1940's and described it as the worse bout of flu multiplied by ten. She said she was desperately sick for a week and her fever caused her to hallucinate.
The people who have died have mostly been elderly and before anyone has a go I am 73!We really have to accept these diseases are just another part of life. Viruses are just a dna spiral in a protein envelope and it is not in their interest to kill us but just to live in us in a benign way.
I am now in a quandry I read it is terrible and will really get a lot worse and that is containable and not an existential threat (Which apparently a couple of degrees temperature increase is). See if the usual suspects had not blown their own reputations by forecasting that we died ten years ago that we may have actually had an idea what was going on.

I call bullsh!t. Note again there are no links to these supposed newspaper reports. Making up numbers to cover for being outed for making up numbers is never a good look.

Trump was one of the first to institute travel bans against China. When he did it the usual suspects said he was wrong and it was an over-reaction. Now the same bozos say he's not doing enough. Standard stuff from the TDS crowd.

SR has been as anti-Trump as it is possible for one person to be. As each of his erroneous claims (Russian collusion, 'owned' by Putin, will destroy the economy, warmonger etc etc) are shown to be so much ignorant rubbish, the need to ferret out any minor issue becomes manic. Its all pretty funny really.

Oh btw, did you know that calling it the Wahun or China virus is racist? So the 'progressive' elite now inform us?

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/calling-coronavirus-wuhan-virus-isnt-racist-but-china-wants-you-to-think-it-is

Which of course means that we are obligated to call it the Wahun virus...you know, just to piss the so-called progressives off.
