Coronavirus Live Thread. Live Thread 1
2/23/2020

Posted on 02/23/2020 1:57:16 PM PST by Vermont Lt

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.

Good source. Everyone screaming: “Where are the CDC tests?!” It’s gone past embarrassing.

Consider this: It's pretty obvious that there's a LOT of Chinese going to America and a lot of American's going to China. This disease is here and was here long before anyone was making noises about it. If Pandora's box is already opened then the last thing our government wants to do is panic people. So what's a logical step? Perhaps clumsily not be able to get test kits out? That way there's no way to confirm or deny that there is coronavirus out of control.

...,and the vaccine be as likely to kill as cure.

Vaccines prevent, they don't cure. And no, any vaccine released will probably have a few / 100k mortality rate. They might not have good prevention rates, at least the early ones until they get it right.

The stock market and the “economy” are the least of your worries.

Not exactly since that is the #1 priority for the Powers That Be. The little people's lives come are secondary to keeping the big machine going.

“But it’s ok to post drivelous speculation, like 10% mortality with 100% infection rate, Chinese incinerating 1000’s of extra victims, etc, etc.”

Actually, yes. Why even have this thread otherwise?

But, if it really bothers you, why not start a “CNN-Approved Coronavirus Thread” where you keep us skeptics and doubters of our wonderful Deep State from posting? No one from here will bother you on that thread, promise!

Bah!
More panic-inducing is the belief that the government is lying. China can stand that, they expect it, we can’t.

Yep, the information from South Korea is what bears paying attention to.

You can’t believe anything the ChiComs say. I have to assume the South Koreans will paint a much more accurate picture.

I believe as of now there are 3 cases in Seoul, this could be the tripwire, a city of 10 million, with a density of 17,000 per square kilometer.

This thread (and others) has great info. It also has complete speculation and drivel like 10% (not referring to 1919 but coronavirus). It's no different from any thread here except there's a justified skepticism with Chinese numbers.

Even at 2% mortality the virus is very serious. The rate in Italy is 1% but it's still very early in that outbreak.

You know better than 750 million Chinese.

Most of the 750M don't have the virus, or they do and the mortality is incredibly low. The young healthy people dying is a big concern of course, but we don't know that rate at all.

I like the threads. The useful information in them is very valuable.

Two wrongs dont make a right.
Wrong Number 1 - Being hamstrung by your dependence on China.
Wrong Number 2 - Using incompetence as an excuse to not control wrong number 1.

Let’s hope the powers that be will learn a valuable lesson and not put all of your economic eggs into one basket.

......but they won’t!
