We’re not getting the true figures from Iran. I think they have 100’s of cases, though they’re only reporting 28.
They hid the spread of the virus because of their parliamentary elections, and they wanted people to vote & not be deterred by the news of the virus.

I hate to be pessimistic and I was, initially, optimistic, this could be contained. I don't see this being controlled at this point.

Bu-but the new cases reported in Wuhan have been DROPPING sharply each day.

Sigh...yep.

Governments have a fine line to walk..it’s tricky. Many competing interests.

“one-tenth of humanity is now in some sort of quarantine/lockdown situation.”

People are sheeple.

Wow- this is a really important article. Lends real credence to the escaped-from-lab theory.

I’m naturally skeptical so have been unconvinced by either lab/not lab so far. But have you ever seen China take such measures against the flu? Every year it kills many thousands there yet they don’t blink. But, this time they went full on lockdown. They KNOW something.

Thanks for posting that link. It’s what I’ve been hearing from inside Iran also. People are very frightened.
There are a lot of Iranians in Turkey & a lot of travel goes on between the 2 countries,(also between Turkey & China - until Turkey closed its air travel with china about 2 weeks ago). I suspect Turkey will be reporting cases soon.

Pretty alarming. It seems to fit with your info as well.

I like Dr. Campbell because he’s sane and doesn’t resort to hyperbole - he’s measured and responsible. Because of that, when I hear him truly worried I know it’s for cause.

What ultimately happened to that young woman. Did she ever ‘recover’ and stop shedding virus?

Better to just take the vitamin C. Sugar (even fructose) is the last thing you need if you are sick.

Given their ‘under’ numbers, it’s probably double that in real life.

We likely won’t consider stopping flights from Japan till next week at the earliest. We can’t disrupt business interests you understand...
