It’s a nothing burger.
It’s a typical flu outbreak fed by mass hysteria and click bait news.

If there is an “accidental” nuclear explosion over Wuhan we may assume this virus is more deadly then they are reporting.
Reminds me of the 1971 movie Andromeda Strain.

Obiwan is very worried.

There, there honey, it is too early to tell...but just in case, where do you want the ashes sent.....?
How about some stats on how many people in these same regions died of other viruses?
How many people died of other viruses this week?
True, but if they’ve already moved the PLA into these areas to take control, it means they are very worried.
You laugh.
During the SARS episode I had idiots show up in the ER wanting to be tested.
“Have you been to Hong Kong?”
No
“Have you been to Toronto?”
No.
“What makes you think you have SARS?”
I have a runny nose, how do you know I don’t have SARS?
“I don’t. If you live the next couple of days I’m confident you have a cold”.
“We’ve had 11 Flu-related deaths here in DFW this year. Nobody seems to be panicking over that.”
Flu kills 0.1% of the infected worst case.
This virus is tracking at 3% or more. And it is far more easily transmitted. And it is stealth with a 14 day incubation.
You can take it seriously, or not. Nobody cares.
Nice try, but you completely avoided answering my question...
It was a little bit frightening...
Right now the mortality rate is still about 3%. Hasn’t changed. And those are people who weren’t hospitalized.
We haven’t heard of anyone who has received early treatment who has died.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
Johns Hopkins game planned a coronavirus pandemic last year.
Event 201 simulates an outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus transmitted from bats to pigs to people that eventually becomes efficiently transmissible from person to person, leading to a severe pandemic. The pathogen and the disease it causes are modeled largely on SARS, but it is more transmissible in the community setting by people with mild symptoms.
The disease starts in pig farms in Brazil, quietly and slowly at first, but then it starts to spread more rapidly in healthcare settings. When it starts to spread efficiently from person to person in the low-income, densely packed neighborhoods of some of the megacities in South America, the epidemic explodes. It is first exported by air travel to Portugal, the United States, and China and then to many other countries. Although at first some countries are able to control it, it continues to spread and be reintroduced, and eventually no country can maintain control.
There is no possibility of a vaccine being available in the first year. There is a fictional antiviral drug that can help the sick but not significantly limit spread of the disease.
Since the whole human population is susceptible, during the initial months of the pandemic, the cumulative number of cases increases exponentially, doubling every week. And as the cases and deaths accumulate, the economic and societal consequences become increasingly severe.
The scenario ends at the 18-month point, with 65 million deaths. The pandemic is beginning to slow due to the decreasing number of susceptible people. The pandemic will continue at some rate until there is an effective vaccine or until 80-90 % of the global population has been exposed. From that point on, it is likely to be an endemic childhood disease.
That is the type of pic often used with Thieves Oil.
I am getting all my supplies in. Meds, Food, Etc. So I can limit my exposure. I am fortunate in that I don’t have to go into a work environment.
Those that do, look at different methods to combat disease so you have it ready.
Try different things..
Like I swear by hydrogen peroxide in the ears even though there are claims it can’t and doesn’t work.
