They are too smart not to be scared. Of course they’re scared. Scared doesn’t mean anything.

It is China though. They think much different than we do. They probably think they are controlling panic, thereby controlling their ability to make money.

Where as we would (and are) ignore it until the very last second in an effort to not effect our ability to make money. While on the background, someone is working to actually make money on the worst case scenario.

If hand sanitizers don’t kill viruses what does?

Can’t imagine being in Italy having lost the ability to taste the food. *shudder* Sounds like a horror novel.

China physically blocking the road to prevent spread of #coronarovirus. On the border btw Jingzhou and Yichang in Hubei province. Provincial capital Wuhan already under lockdown.

Not sure if this an old leak out of China, or new A nurse from the same hospital in Wuhan, said the doctors claim 100,000 infected. They do not have the supplies to treat, many dying in the hospital. She also stated do not believe the China government. There is English CC translation on the video. link to twitter post

What’s your problem?

I said the mortality rate ( by my calculation ) seemed to be about 3%.

No need to get ‘the vapors’ over <1%

I am just sayin compared to something like Ebola which is 75% you are RELATIVELY safe if you catch this.

Now, if the reports coming out after this are true- it may be something worse than the Chinese are letting on.

Which is kind of my point. Why all the hysteria over <3% mortality- From videos coming out it looks like people suddenly just fall over...

Maybe the Chinese are lying.

Thread has fallen off my sidebar. Seems like there should be some way to keep it as breaking or at least extended news...? Can the Mods do that?

Even 1% mortality would be very bad if, say, 30% of the population is in the calculation. That’s a lot of deaths added to the usual deaths, in a fairly short period of time. Plus, the “collateral” is huge.

Also not being discussed is that recoveries of severely to critically ill patients may take a long time. When my then under 60 y/o brother got a critical case of necrotic pneumonia, he was in the hospital for well over a week after he “got over the hump”. Rehab was over two weeks more. He permanently lost over 1/2 of his lung function.

Based on official statistics, the largest number of cases of death happen to people in the 60 to 89 age group. And no one under 30 has died from the deadly #WuhanCoronavirus yet.— William Yang (@WilliamYang120) January 25, 2020

The usual stuff, like “Five Demands, Not One Less”, “Fight For Freedom, Stand With Hong Kong”. One of the protesters was just arrested after they started walking down Nathan Road and setting up roadblocks.
