Looks like the death toll from the new coronavirus has passed 100 mark. All Chinese for now but infected cases are discovered in many other countries. Can this be this be the plague of 21st century ?

I noticed in social media many blame the reason for this as eating snake meat, bat meat etc. Maybe it's because most of the frist cases were those who visisted large animal and seafood market in Wuhan. But these guys have been eating these meat for thusands of years and why suddenly now ? I wonder if this is some sort of  BioWarfare experince gone wrong.

China is very overpopulated and with so little space and the way they congregate live in close proximity of their animals - sharing their space up close and personal.  In this particular case it was a virus apparently that came from a wild animal that was kept by a Chinese farmer.

This is very worrisome indeed.  As of course this is going to affect the economy badly, and they say when China sneezes the whole world gets a cold.  I.e. China's tourism to the rest of the world and their almost aggressive participation in the economy is going to have bad consequences for the world economy. They have so much funding going on in so many areas of the world. Can imagine this is going to be a disaster for many international projects.
