Figured we would start numbering the threads.
Some points to keep in mind:
1. This thing is not “just the flu.” 2. 1/10th of the worlds population is in some sort of lockdown. 3. Generally, we don’t buy the Chinese numbers But if anything they are low. 4. Everyone is welcome to post, but don’t bore us with your “you are panicking” posts. They are tedious.
It’s Sunday night and the Walking Dead is back. Let’s talk Coronavirus.
Someone wrote the other night that the complications come not from the test, but the use of some kind of equipment that is not common.
I guess it’s the use of that equipment that can discern between different kinds of CV.
What I DO understand is that this is not a “litmus” test. You don’t simply take blood and stick it in a machine and have it tell you what’s wrong.
Worldwide 200,000 but mostly within China as the government steps up measures to curb the spread of the virus.
Why won’t the admins make this sticky? I tried pinging them, to no avail.
... The protective suit consisted of a light, waxed fabric overcoat, a mask with glass eye openings and a beak shaped nose, typically stuffed with herbs, straw, and spices. Plague doctors would also commonly carry a cane to examine and direct patients without the need to make direct contact with the patient.

Travis infected have to go. They were being sent to Costa Mesa but that’s on hold until a judge rules tomorrow.
Everyone upset.
New case-Canada
TORONTO — Today, Dr. David Williams, Chief Medical Officer of Health, confirmed a new presumptive positive case of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in Toronto. Ontario’s first three cases are all resolved, with each of those patients having two consecutive negative tests at least 24 hours apart.
On February 21, an adult woman arrived to Canada from China and presented at North York General Hospital’s emergency department at the advice of Telehealth Ontario with an intermittent cough that was improving.

Lessons from the History of Quarantine, from Plague to Influenza A
I think there’s a reason for everything that POTUS says.
I don’t doubt it, regarding the China Apocalypse ...with the factories, etc.
stop with the ‘flu kills’ meme! This is not the “flu” There will be no vaccine for at least 1-1.5 years and will be based on whatever is the current strain. by then, this bio-weapon will have mutated several times and the vaccine be as likely to kill as cure.
Maybe I just haven’t seen them but it seems like they should be all over the place.

that’s an assumption - making a video after recovering is not the first thing on people’s minds - more like “if I am reinfected, will I die?” as many do.
Are you kidding, if kids don’t get their daily school lunches delivered at home, they will be screaming from the rooftops. I cannot even imagine what outrages they will come up with being quarantined. It will be a goldmine of daily opportunities to make the President look bad, even though their socialist icons are (and will be ) handling it much worse.
There are no atheists in foxholes
being an elite isn’t going to save one from a bio-weapon

Guaranteed the ‘right sort of people’ have access to stuff that might prove to help.
If there’s anything out there that will help, they’ve secured a supply for themselves.
as of 10 or more days ago in China in the previous 60 days over 100,000 people died - that’s 50,000/month*. THIS IS NOT THE FLU!!!

Is Trump even getting good information? God help us if Rosenstein’s sister is advising him.
I read somewhere earlier today that China just nationalized our N95 mask factory that’s there.
... There will be no vaccine for at least 1-1.5 year
This is an RNA virus, notoriously hard to develop a vaccine for those
