A lot of information but it turns out to be an ad for a VPN (virtual private network. Why?

Santa got lost?

I watched the whole thing, and my ‘takeaway’ was the ineptitude and authoritarian nature of the central government when it was first detected actually helped the contagion get out of control.

Link to the 2nd video is much more interesting. Yes, 1st video borders on an infomercial.

[In_Iowa_not_from]

Exactly, as what several Freepers have noted. Also, 2nd video talks about how WHO kowtows to China and has been downplaying the seriousness, as Freepers have also noted.

Really? As if the first clickbait was not enough?

I look at things like the Chinese government’s shutting down so much stuff, quarantining whole cities, disinfecting the out of doors, telling people to get rid of their animals, the source is near a known bio lab.

Things that make you go hmmmmmm.......

Now over 100,000 people have been infected in China. 14 day asymptomatic but contagious period. Now looks like close to a 50% mortality rate.

This is starting to look like a weaponized virus that accidentally got let lose from China’s P4 facility. If so, millions will die.

Or it could just be a nasty virus that is going around.

We call it Novel Coronavirus....Chinese call it “Wuhan New Crown Pneumonia”. It’s a pneumonia??? A viral pneumonia that spread very easily?

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

[piytar]

Basically yes.

I didn’t see a VPN ad in the 2nd one (or maybe I wasn’t paying enough attention), which is unusual because these guys have been putting VPN ads in their videos for years. And before that, they put in plugs for a brand of motorcycle.

If I remember right, the South African guy is a motorcycle mechanic and the American guy is an engineer of some sort—they aren’t medical people. I find their videos interesting as they lived in China for years and have an insider’s perspective on what has been going on in China (corruption, the brutal communist government, lack of sanitation, etc).

Did not view the second. Waste of time....
