Jesus! Will you people chill the fuck out with regard to the above incident! Back in the cold war we played bump and tag with 10K ton destroyers in the middle of the Ocean. We have some indication that our subs played even deadlier games against their subs. Our aircraft (both sides) have come close to shooting the opposition down.
Bumping vehicles is NO BIG DEAL!
Let it go and move on.
People are killing, being killed etc...in the grand scheme of things this ain't shit.

Interesting. I've had a number of readers here state that the Coronavirus wouldn't affect the global economy. Now we see this. The dominoes are falling. First Japan, now S. Korea. We can expect to see Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, The Phillipines and others affected soon.
What should be concerning for many is that stuff like this has ripple effects. From the potential for instability in less developed nations to changing the outcome of elections in the first world (like the presidential election in the US).

White House does not trust info coming out of China with regard to Coronavirus...
“The @WhiteHouse said this week it does ‘not have high confidence in the information coming out of #China’ regarding the count of #coronavirus cases, a senior administration official told @CNBC.” https://t.co/yAeNxfNDN0— Andrew Erickson 艾立信 (@AndrewSErickson) February 18, 2020
Hmm.
We know that China likes to put lipstick on pigs.
What if things are much worse than we're being told? What if the numbers that are being released are only the tip of the iceberg?
This should be another datapoint to consider when we think about this thing.

Yeah. Call this tinfoil hat but I'm beginning to think this was a weapon that got loose. Why the low death count? First a virus like this that was targeted at say the US would (at a time of the attackers choice) cause critical damage...especially if it could be aimed at targets like bases or industry.
Next is the fact that viruses mutate. That's what no one is talking about. What if this thing goes Incredible Hulk? Hubei is getting hammered but I don't think the rest of us should be resting easy yet.
