My son is a senior in high school, should I be worried?
The simulation predicted 65million people from every corner of the world would be wiped out in just 18 months.”
Thanks Lucy....
seniors and children probably the most at risk...
The current rate of fatality on reported cases only is 3%.
Enough to crush every healthcare system in the world.
I’m asking how many people died of other viruses! My guess is, the numbers are higher. Why no focus on other viruses?
Some scary videos on youtube. Look for #Cornonavirus.
What is scary they quarantine millions of people. You do not quarantine that many people for a small number of deaths. Something does not smell right here. Is China hiding numbers? They hid it the last time. Now 10 cities over 40 million people in quarantine now.
...”at least I think it’s the flu...”
Could it be a hangover?
I will just stick with my flu preventative, which is Sambucol. It retards virus replication in the body, so it should be good for this plague.
That pic is of what is apparently called a “plague doctor”.
I’m holding out for the A&Wvirus.
False analogy - common flu has been circulating for months. The coronavirus just appeared, no vaccine, and causes viral pneumonia. Flu leads to pneumonia in only a few cases
Remember most (all?) of those are in China.
No one in their right minds expect Chinese healthcare to be anything but pure crap.
Does Malware Bytes remove this virus?
My brother is headed there in a week and said the same thing. He is going to see how things go.
3% to 6% was the factality ratio of the Spanish Flu. Over 65 million die depending on your source. Wiki has it at 50 to 100 million die from that outbreak.
14 day incubation period is pretty stealthy.
Imagine if it wasn’t ‘discovered’ until after asia’s New Year celebrations- it’d be everywhere.
But the numbers would be much worse if everyone hadn’t already been killed off by Fukushima...
We may be worried about “clumsy CPC handling” but I would say it will be worse here because of our incompetent divided government and corrupt media. There will be people keeling over in the streets and dying and still all the media is going to be talking about is Fakepeachment.
They can test for this virus. So, if people test positive, it rules out other infections.
This is a luck of the draw kind of thing. God’s plan.
One person may fight it and another’s system gets overwhelmed and you croak.
Like the flu.
We experienced that in my family. Normal healthy young student. Gets told by the Doctor she has the flu. Less than two days later dead from sepsis and pneumonia.
It’s all well and good for people to go around on these threads mocking people for being concerned.
Until it hits their family.
You have to live your live and take some precautions.
Only office able to is the CDC currently. They have 50 more test requested today.
They can test for this virus. So, if people test positive, it rules out other infections.
....
You’re missing the point! People have and are dying of other viruses! If we focused on those numbers, I’m sure we could whip up similar hysteria!
My Grandmother died of the Spanish Flu in 1918. My Dad was only 5 months old.
