I know this disease is horrible if you catch it, and I pray the number of cases remains small (it will), and that those who do catch it recover.
The US is not China or Europe. Six months from now we will look at the numbers and investigate who started this bullshit. Soros, the Chinese, or the Deep State? Wait, they are all the same.
Last year in the US 80,000 died of the flu.
The hype over this is ridiculous!
Sucks if you get it but it sucks to be hit by lightning too!
A virus is a virus is a virus. Do what you should have been doing right along. Wash your hands. Wipe your counters with a disinfectant. And if you’re sick...stay home.
I think the people of China are more vulnerable because of a couple of decades of exposure to air pollution from coal-fired power plants and the fact many Chinese are notorious heavy smokers of cigarettes.
Very true. Most people there have compromised lungs from those things, plus bad hygiene habits. No one covers their mouth when they cough or sneeze there - helping spread any virus.
In before getting again causes a heart attack.
In before the R0 numbers that never came true.
In before "the exponential" spreadsheet posting.
What is the R0 number by the way?
Eating (sick)dogs and bats doesn’t help.

China and their eating habits need to be quarantined from the world.
Thanks for posting this.
Put on your flak jacket and helmet.
As diseases go, this one is a wimp compared to other recent ones. Also consider Ebola, sars, etcc., were all news items in political election years.
Let’s break those numbers of flu patients down between Americans and illegal aliens.
Great news! Homeland Virus cops are coming to lock you and your family up!
It is amazing how many so called conservatives want the Feds to take over our lives due to this so called emergency.
That type of bs is how we ended up with Homeland Security and TSA. They make air travel miserable 24/7, and probably have eliminated zero air tragedies.
If you want Homeland Virus or whatever to be able to quarantine you and your family:
You are an idiot and not a conservative.
Then, to Mass Quarantinofornias !!!.. Sanctuary States in rapid decline!!!.. Norm’s Revenge
Ebola was much scarier. Your intestines liquify and you bleed to death internally
also SARS “recovered” patients had all sorts of problems:
“Schools were closed until the end of February in Hong Kong”
But it’s just the flu!
The hysteria was here well before the mainstream jumped on the hysteria bandwagon.
I don't accept the truthfulness/accuracy of anything coming out of China (and yes,despite what some might claim,Hong Kong is *absolutely* part of China).
The only figures I'd be inclined to believe are those coming from Japan,South Korea,the EU countries and the United States.
