“Would someone help me understand that if this virus is less virulent and has a lower lethality than the flu why I should be overly concerned?”
I tried telling the Mayor of Wuhan that and he shut down the city anyway. Then I called Bejing, Shanghai, etc. Nobody believed me. Destroying their economy over a tiny case of the sniffles!
Definitely a snarky response to a legitimate question....
China’s response to a new virus of dubious origin definitely raises concerns. Of course, their government doesn’t care about their people so if they lost 60-100 million their leaders would still sleep well at night.
There is some evidence the virus was engineered, the Chinese government’s reaction seems to support that theory although that’s just supposition. If it was and they were unsure how it would react I. The general public, their over the top initial reaction would be warranted.....
But now as legitimate facts are developed by the CDC, not seeing the facts support the current hysteria.....
