In the early days of diseases like this, you need to read up as much as you want, but keep your mind open on just about every aspect of it.

Observations and characteristics seem pretty sound at times. The only thing is, they frequently aren’t.

Several days ago it was a known fact that symptoms didn’t have to be present, to transmit the disease. Wrong.

Let that be a lesson to us across the board.

People in positions that should lend the credibility, are as capable (and perhaps more so) of making some very misleading and sensational comments.

It will all pretty much make sense in the end.

But now, it turns out that information was wrong. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the German government’s public health agency, has written a letter to NEJM to set the record straight, even though it was not involved in the paper.

Politics.

...and the bat they rode in on.

And to think the imbecile Chinese were throwing their poor pet cats and dogs out the window on unfounded rumors they might transmit the virus. They didn’t wait to check out whether that is actually true. I wouldn’t lose sleep if these turds did the same to themselves. It’s just their own weaponized virus coming back to bite them.

I would like to see the ages of those who died from it. Over a few decades I have seen more people die from a comorbidity or a secondary infection than the flu. Yet the powers that be, insist the death was from the flu.
Roll up your sleeves, and open your wallets. Its for the children.
I thought the weaponized deadly disease fearmongering days were over.

Yep - scare stories spreading faster than the virus...the flip side of the article is that 75% of the cases may not require anything but cold and Flu symptom relief OTC “meds”.

I felt like a cold was coming on a couple days ago and started nasal swab Zicam and Mucinex before heavier symptoms came up...seems to be on the way out now.
