I’ve got a trip planned for two weeks in Europe this March. Thank goodness I’ve got travel insurance. The tourism industry is going to take a bigger hit than post 9/11.

That’s one of the problem areas where medical ozone gas can be very effective.

Glad to help.

You have never been able to trust the Chinese to tell the truth about pathogens in the past so until we see the survivability numbers outside China it is all pretty much speculation. I have been surprised at how much they are sharing this time around now that it is out of control, but doubt we have anything close to real numbers.

One of the posted sites above had a number go 56 dead and 52 recoveries. A 56/52 death to life ratio is horrible. But like I said, we do not know the numbers who got sick and did not seek help and survived.

To get a much closer number we need to see this thing run its course outside of China, sadly.

Thanks!

Some guy from china posted on twitter that one of his relatives was sick and an ambulance refused to come get them. Relative had all symptoms of coronavirus and died. Death was listed as pneumonia or flue, not coronavirus. I am sure there are many, many more deaths that are not being reported.

Also, the news starts out with ‘Nothing to be worried about’ so you know this is very bad. After the handwringing and doomsday reports abut SARS and swine flu, they are trying to stop a mass panic.

Something of this magnitude, a real life civilzation level catastrophe, will get covered up by all governments. No government has the assets to handle the situation. Now if this was a fake, Wag the Dog crisis, they would be screaming from the roof tops. They are really good at fixing fake problems.

Thanks for that. I just ordered a haloween fog machine and two bottles of fog juice which is propylene glycol and water.

If this really kills the flu, why the heck hasn’t the medical community picked up on it???

Seems harmless enough. Same stuff is in vaping.

Does Schumer screaming about this constitute him wagging the dog?

Another suspected case in India.
