Quarantine of Chinese City

For those of you who read World War Z you know patient 0 was in China.

Well, the Chinese have quarantined a city of over 30,000 for a case of "bubonic plague". Now there are over 5000 cases of plague every year and it really isn't a big deal any more. So what's going on? Good time to stock up on some ammo.

Stock up ammo in China?

 

I remember reading that "the plague" is found in various areas, including the US.

But I think I typed on my FB that with the cognitive reasoning the Chinese military has, that city is probably going to get wiped out.

 

Think of it this way;

If it is a very impoverished area, less chances of getting medical attention

 

pro tip:

 

Start watching doomsday preppers, that's what I do. I figure out how to break into he bunkers for fun but now I guess I'll take notes and write down their locations too! Much cheaper than buying a bunker.

 

Lol i Tivo that show. They're nuts. Will you be making an appearance at some point on it? I watched one were a couple made a fort out of shipping containers lol

Baza

 

Oh no. I had no idea folks on your side of the pond were aware of that show. Now you must really think all Americans are nuts. Not all of us are, but I know some people who could almost be on that show.

I have to admit I like it, and sometimes it is really interesting.

 

It works both ways, I have a much deeper understanding of British culture since I started watching Almost Royal on BBC America.

The royal family, an 800 year experiment on why cousins shouldn't marry cousins. I have now have a better understanding of that expression.

 

How do you pronounce KA-BAR?

Kay-bar?
Kah-bar?
Kabar?

 

Kay (K long a)
Bar (as in an american pub)

Ka Bar, the official knife of the US Marine Corps.

 

That's basically what we get issued as a bayonet now. Just a Ka Bar with a ring on it to attach to the rifle. We pretty much put them all in a box on deployment so they wouldn't get lost.

Leatherman's, a utility tool, should be the official knife/tool of the Marine Corps now.

 

China lifts plague quarantine.

The city is now an official Zombie Free Zone (ZFZ). Hats off to the People's Liberation Army.

 

I guess the first/best course of action was quarantine

 

Ah man. And here I was thinking itll turn into another China ghost town.

 

China has ghost towns?

 

There's plague outbreaks every few years in Colorado. Prairie dogs are carriers and fleas can transmit to humans. It can't be passed directly from human to human. It's not that big of a deal. Quarantining a city over it is insane.

 

Yeah, China built a bunch of cities in hopes to have them filled out. And now its all empty.

That is an hour south of me or so. It's not the ghost town it once was. Kunming Universities have opened branches down there and a lot of the rich folk in Yunnan have moved down there as well.
