I think a particular danger is the fact WHERE this virus started to spread.

Wuhan is literally THE land-bound crossroads of transportation for the most populated part of China. If you look at a map of China, geographic north from Wuhan is Beijing, geographic west from Wuhan is Chongqing and Chengdu, geographic east from Wuhan is Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou, and geographic south from Wuhan is Guangzhou. As such, the disease would have spread throughout China VERY quickly before the quarantine, given China's modern air travel and high-speed passenger rail system. Yikes. 😱😷

How many of those do you suspect are in China?

This thing started in China. It’s on Them.

This is why I think a huge number of Chinese students who returned to the US in january are going to be vectors. They rode on buses, trains and planes that probably ventured to Wuhan at least once.

And why I think this may have started elsewhere and just got amplified in Wuhan.

Australia presser ongoing...

repeating what the lady In Canada said ..

only concerned about people sitting next to people on plane...but since no symptoms not contagious

then in the next sentence “we don’t yet fully understand how this virus spreads person to person”

people flying in from China will be given info when they get off the plane where to call if they get sick

says risk is low from other parts of China since only small pockets of outbreaks

You’re the first to bring it up. Drop your hint off on a couple other posts or sites and it will go ... viral

You have information that shows the virus is not that transmissible and not that lethal and will burn out soon or are you just whistling in the dark like a little boy?

Oh boy...ok...I'll try again.

Transmissible: About 1700 cases out of about 70 million people quarantined. That's 2.4 cases for every 100,000 people...while this is a bit of an apples to oranges comparison, the death rate in America from infectious diseases in 2014 was 43/100,000. Since the infection rate would likely be higher, I'd say the China situation isn't hair-raising (yet).

lethal: 50 deaths out of 1,700 cases = 3% conditional death rate. Ebola's contemporary conditional death rate is 67%.

In 2018-2019 in the US, there were 10 deaths per 100,000 people from influenza. You had a bigger likelihood of dying in the USA from the flu than of dying from whateveritis in China.

Hard analysis always trumps hysteria. I hope that helps, son.

Best estimates are about 250k infected by Feb 4 with a 4% death rate. Run your math on those numbers, Chief

Hard analysis...

Using data that comes from a communist Chinese gov that has never, not once, ever in its existence ever admitted to anything that might make it look bad.

Uh huh. Riiight.

And out of those 1700 cases how many deaths will be added to the 50? Over 300 of them are in ICU. Even if non, 3% death rate is huge compare to Hong Kong Pandemic of 1968-1969 which was 0.5%.

Have you pickled your brain, Chief?

Your numbers are useless. Commie China won’t be telling you the truth.

In addition, the dying number will contain people that would have lived had they had more advanced health care...or for that matter..any health care.

So the ability to survive this with adequate health care is unknown. We will know soon as it has hit more advanced areas.
