Remember, People: Only Headshots!

There is some new "mystery virus" in China.

A mystery virus - previously unknown to science - is causing severe lung disease in the Chinese city of Wuhan and has been detected in two other countries.

Two people are known to have died from the virus, which appeared in the city in December.

In at least World War Z, if not other works, the zombie virus originated in some toxic lake in China.

Those infected from Wuhan probably aren't going to arise from the grave and begin eating people. But if they do, aim for the braincase.

I hate to break it to you folks, but the living dead have been among us for some time. Ever been to the Tenderloin in SF?

It's funny. In the short time I lived in SF in 1976 I used to hear about how bad the Tenderloin was and I just didn't see it. (I'm sure it's a lot worse now, but still, they spoke of it like it was sure death if you went there.)

In 1976 most of the city wasn't too bad. My grandmother used to take me downtown on the Muni to Macys, City of Paris, Emporium, etc. Wore her hat and white gloves...we'd walk up to the St. Francis Hotel to have lunch. Back then, not so bad. Late '80s to 2000's....bad. The walking dead.

I was living sharing an apartment on Hyde St. between Bush and Sutter back then. Took over an apartment my cousin was living in. Building has since, (I read), burned down. It was a nice old brownstone.

Last time I was there was 1991 for a week or two.

My brother-in-law lives in that neighborhood of SF. I've never been there and have no desire to visit. My mother-in-law said that the last time she was there, she didn't see any needles on the sidewalk. Apparently this was an improvement over the visit before that.

More likely they will die of ARDS in a weird substandard Chinese ICU. Hope those viruses stay in China and don't make their way over here.

Looks like we are going to see this virus sooner rather than later as it has made it to Beijing before the Chinese New Year. The amount of travel associated with the holiday means the virus will have lots of transmission vectors.
