    Thank you for this line and for reiterating the focus of this channel. When there is so much polarizing opinion from the 100% pro-China and the 100% anti-China crowd, this is a breath of fresh air and really leading by example on "getting on with it."

      WE owe China big time for trying to protect the REST OF HUMANITY.
      Even if their quarantine fails we still owe them for the huge amount of effort they have gone to and the economic sacrifice they have made and the personal sacrifices the citizens have made .
      They DID NOT have to effectively shut down their country for us but they have JUST IN CASE IT WAS SUPER BAD MORTALITY RATE.
      With the information so far it appears we are just looking at a potentially new virus as deadly as flu but even then we will have 100s of thousands of deaths a year from it across the planet.

      live attenuated vaccines must always be kept at refrigerator temperature. If these vaccines have not been kept at refrigerator temperature it can have reduce potency or giving no protection at all. Bringing an large quantity of live attenuated vaccines around in the "bush" in Africa, and/or other underdeveloped countries can be a logistical nightmare and a huge challenge due to the requirement of it to be at refrigerator temperature.

      For sure, in the long run, the international company will reconsider picking another country based on the outcome of this coronavirus.

    Some insight into the manufacturing situation around dealing with the CoronaVirus:
    With all the workers on break, all the medical supply factories are either shut down or barely running. I work for a medical device company in the US, and every single one of our suppliers in China (both past and current) have contacted us. They all need supplies, particularly alcohol pads and face masks. One of our suppliers said they need 1 million masks for the government of Shenzhen. They are willing to pay US prices and ship them by air, but unfortunately no one seems to have them in the US, or at least those that do aren't very willing to sell their stock (since new stock won't be coming out of China anytime soon). We are selling whatever alcohol pads we can back to our alcohol pads supplier, but we were already low on stock before this started.
    I've heard from pharmacies here in the US that they are running out of the masks as well, because people are buying them to ship to their families in China.
    EDIT: They are now asking for thermometers as well, we are going to ship all the thermometers in our inventory as soon as we can secure a space on a flight for them.

      This is 100% true. After online supply (dental medical) ran out, we have bought up masks from farming communities outside cities.
      As a result of the medical mask supply shortage schools in HK are closed and many offices are asking their staff to work from home.

    Just letting you know, your beard makes your N-95 worthless. No seal, no deal. "I'm really attached to my beard. Do I really have to shave to wear a respirator? Yes, if you are assigned to wear any tight fitting respirator, such as a disposable N95, half-mask or full-faced cartridge respirator. Even a day's stubble will compromise your protection by interfering with the mask to face seal."

    Thank you so much Scotty for doing this. I was in Shenzhen for the lunar new year this year just before the corona virus broke out. When it happened, I had no idea what was going on. My wife is Chinese, her family, my in-laws are Chinese... and I can't hardly speak Mandarin at all... I had very little understanding of what was happening at the time. The only thing I really knew is that a new virus similar to SARS had broke out, and we should all wear a mask, stay home and wash our hands after touching anything. Luckily for me, I was on hiatus from my job and a planned 2 month stay turned into a 7 month stay without missing any work. I know it got really hard for a lot of people, but me not so much. I was lucky. And while I was there in Shenzhen, I saw it all. It was crazy times. It's 9 months later, I am back in the US, and we are still dealing with this virus. China is doing extremely well. The US, not so much. Super sad. But looking back at this video and seeing and hearing your message about what happened in retro-spec really makes me feel good. Hearing you talk about those events back in January and February 2020 and being so cool and rational and empathetic about the situation really feels good. So yeah, again, thanks for posting this.

    Hi! Really enjoy your videos and this was no exception. I’m from Australia and it’s hard to tell what the factual parts of the news are. So it’s nice to hear from someone who has been a lot and has proper on the ground contacts rather than circulated news channels.
    Keep up the good work!

      On a side note, disappointed that I couldn’t do a bit of miracle work on a piece of audio gear that I was inspired to try and fix after watching your clips more. Small PCB’s and Cheap soldering irons don’t mix well!

    Living in Munich, where at the moment 5 people have the virus, may call me strange but in my eyes quarantine a city might be a drastic action, but it makes sense, especially during holidays where everybody is on the go.
    That gives a chance that the epidemic may not turn into a huge pandemic.

      It turns into a pandemic when the virus crops up in other countries. The WHO declared it a full Pandemic on Tuesday night.

      I think incinerating those infected for the greater good wouldn't be too unreasonable. Id prefer not to see 200 million people die to this virus.

    Here in Korea I’m seeing a few more masks in clasrooms, and in one Hagwan, the owner getting students to wash hands.
    I’m glad to see more hand washing, but there is still room for improvement.

    Hey Strange Parts,
    I just had a long conversation with a friend about COVID and it made me think about this video. I remember reading about COVID in sparse news stories in November and December of 2019. I had learned a lot about ebola in biology class so obviously I was pretty concerned when I heard what was happening in wuhan. I remember seeing your video and thinking "finally someone else with a platform is talking about this". This video and the information greatly shaped my knowledge of COVID from the beginning of the pandemic onward. I may be alive because of you. I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your experience and the information you gave in this video. It was definitely a step outside of your normal scope but I'm so grateful you did it.
