Stupid? Really?

Tried to order a phone yesterday. Didn’t get even my first 5 choices. All out of stock.

Do you think this will get better now that SK will be essentially shut down like China?

Actually I do.. And the Mass Emergency Mgmt updates.

Please point out where I am spreading misinformation.

I know your type—you hang out with volunteer EMS people. You get the “updates.” You sit at the bar and you are “the smartest” guy in the world.

Please tell me about how the hot spots in Korea, Japan, Germany and Italy are not concerning.

Tell me how hundreds of plant sits downs and restrictions put on 1/10 of the world population is “drambug.”

Go back to the bar. We neither want or need you here.

PS I can start a go fund me page for you to go to Wuhan. You can take a walk around and hug everyone you meet.

According to revelations, the Pale Horse ends up controlling 1/4 of humanity. China has vaccinated troops ready to roll ? Or do we include their allies right now. Iran for example. Pakistan. Etc. Or does that mean 1/4 of humanity is infected ?

Lancet paper - Feb 20, ‘20

Preparedness and vulnerability of African countries against importations of COVID-19: a modelling study

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30411-6/fulltext

Egypt, Algeria, and South Africa were the countries at highest importation risk from China, with moderate to high SPAR capacity scores (87, 76, and 62, respectively) and IDVI (53, 49, and 69, respectively; Figure 2, Figure 3).

Countries with the second highest importation risk ranking included Nigeria and Ethiopia, with moderate capacity (51 and 67, respectively), but high vulnerability (27 and 38, respectively), and substantially larger populations potentially exposed (figure 1).

Morocco, Sudan, Angola, Tanzania, Ghana, and Kenya had similar moderate importation risk and population sizes; however, these countries presented variable levels of capacity (ranging from 34 to 75) and an overall low IDVI (<46), reflecting a high vulnerability (except Morocco, with an IDVI of 56).
All other countries had low to moderate importation risk and low to moderate IDVI, with most having a low SPAR capacity score, with the exception of Tunisia and Rwanda. No substantial change was observed when the larger basins of attraction for the airports of Beijing and Shanghai were considered

IIRC the pale horse killed 1/4.

Imagine this bug kills 5%

The rest will be from lack of medical care taking care of the coronavirus patients (don’t have a stroke or heart attack just now)

Plus, nobody will have antibiotics. That alone will spike the death rate. It will be the 1920’s all over again. Actually not, IIRC they had sulfa drugs in the 20’s. More like the 1890’s. Don’t get an infected hangnail.

Now add in supply chain disruptions. Food, seeds, chemicals, fertilizer, etc.

IIRC most municipal water plant chemicals come from china. Everybody will be under boil water forever.

If your water system uses a pump or other equipment...what’s the MTBF of that. Once it breaks down what will you do for water? etc.

I can see how a massive global supply chain disruption could take out 25% of humanity from the add on effects.

Would NOT want to be in a large city at this point.

so, if the virus is shed in urine, could it be detected prior to the time symptoms are actually expressed? could a urinanalysis be more definitive than the nasal swabs?

“Go back to the bar. We neither want or need you here.”

Go back to your ‘bug out location”. It’s always the low IQ crowd that are the drama queens.

And I’ve seen China insinuate that once things get started back up, all supply will be for China. rest of the world will be SOL.

Hope we don’t need antibiotics for a few years...

Why don’t you tell us the morbidity rates of this virus compared to all others and the R0 rate.

You drama queens said the same thing with SARS and every other virus. A little information is always dangerous with the low IQ crowd.

Nah.

They were ‘taught’ at the elite universities. By pinkos who were taught by those who began the long march through the institutions.

Guaranteed.

They didn’t learn so much from those who were there before them so much as they waited for the old folk to retire so they could run things the ‘new pinko way’.

more on Italy “patient Zero”

BNO Newsroom
@BNODesk
The 38-year-old man had traveled to China and was never sick, but he had dinner with Italy’s first known patient which is why he was assumed to be patient zero

It was already known that he tested negative, but he could have recovered on his own. Further investigation has shown that he didn’t develop antibodies, which suggests he was never infected

A big dip in the market might be the first signal we get before the Great Titanic starts letting us know we hit an Iceberg.
