This is the Chinese coronavirus flag.
The coronavirus has now infected more than SARS ever did
One month after the new coronavirus was discovered, the virus has infected more people than the related SARS coronavirus did when it broke out in 2002/2003.
The newly erupted coronavirus has now infected more people than the related SARS coronavirus did during the SARS outbreak in 2002/2003. The latest official figures released by the Chinese authorities on Friday show that 9809 people have been infected with the new coronavirus. In comparison, a total of 8422 people were infected with SARS between November 2002 and July 2003, after which the WHO declared that the risk of infection at SARS was over. In addition, the Chinese authorities suspect that an additional 15,238 people are infected with the new coronavirus.
213 people have so far died of the new coronavirus, while the SARS outbreak killed a total of 916 people.

It’s sometimes said that, “Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.” Or, as a dear friend of mine once put it, “I don’t believe in coincidence. I believe in God-incidence.”
Thanks be to God, I’ve recently accepted an offer of employment in my field, and will shortly be relocating to be more near that job. For me, that means an out-of-state move. I am thankful… IMMENSELY thankful, for the opportunity, in so many different ways.
As part of my expression of thanks, I had written a note of thanks to one of my Flickr contacts recently, and wanted to share the essence of that letter with you all.
