There's another case eight kilometres in the other direction from me, now -- that's 8km either side.
The Royal Navy "bracket and bump" gunnery methodology comes to mind...

The title "Communication"reminded me of a story they used to quote while I was with GE.
While he was Chairman, Jack Welch used to host banquet dinners to employees who had completed more than 30 years of service in GE, and retired. At one such dinner, Jack was giving a speech, and noticed an elderly person having a conversation of his own, towards the last benches. Jack, wanting to have some fun with him, pointed to this elderly employee and asked him - "Hi, what do you think was the problem in what I was just telling?". The elderly employee, was smart, and though he hadn't heard a word of what Jack had just said, replied - "Communication, Jack, communication! Communication was the problem". Which was correct, Jack nodded.
So, everywhere communication is the problem, indeed.

Communication will always be the number 1 problem companies have to deal with. People are terrible at it.
Social Media - A platform that makes it easier for the crazies to find each other.
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it.
Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

I had undermined it much. And I realize why there exists a role called "Project Manager". In some teams, PMs could be rendering some useful service, but our case is plain 'lip-service'. Just doing a very lightweight role. If the engineering leads could develop some good domain knowledge, vocabulary & some articulation, I guess the role of a Project Manager could lose relevance, at least in our company.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Mind you, spotting a new flu-like illness during flu season is akin to the haystack/needle thing, so it's only vaguely short of miraculous that Chinese doctors spotted it within a couple of weeks.

Here there is a new conspiracy-theory... it seems that there is some kind of "bio-research lab" in the near of Wuhan that many fingers are pointing as ground zero
EDIT: I just googled... as it seems there are more than one biotech companies over there

Yup!
Never ignore a good conspiracy or hate theory!
They're always more fun than boring, mundane ol' reality.
The reality here is that a disease mutated, someone caught it, and it spread -- but where's the fun in that?
The only people who should care about where it mutated are the people who need to find out if the place where it started is likely to give rise to more nasty mutations.

If it was the case that it started in the US would that not imply that there would be evidence of infected US citizens that show they had it before the first case appeared in other countries? Unless perhaps the tourists created it to fill the boredom on the flight over...
Although I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the US would cover up any evidence that proved they started it, so who knows.

AFAIK, no government official, from any of the East Asian nations, has made such a statement, so it's just more twitter fodder.
