Coronavirus Live Thread. Live Thread 1

[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.

I am going to pay close attention to Seoul as it is the first mega-city outside of China that faces this virus.

[Jane Long]

Whoa!!!

EVERYONE!!! Listen to this CDC update!!

[DouglasKC]

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

My point is that it's here. There was travel for weeks if not month between China and the US before corona was a blip on anyone's radar screen.

[DEPcom]

Good ideal Those are better indicators then China except for Iran.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Are you on Null and Void’s Bring out your Dead list yet? He pings us to these coronavirus update threads, among other disease-related items.

[dfwgator]

Especially Italy, since it blows up the theory that only Asians are impacted.

That is horrifying.

On a few levels.

[Lazamataz]

I am.

Until I die in a few months.

[Jane Long]

Please listen to this CDC update!!

Again, as per other threads, this CDC person (Nancy mesinmiere?) is reported to be Rod Rosenstein’s sister.

[Jane Long]

FYI....

The CDC document guidance doc, that Dr Nancy refers to, in this teleconference ...

Actually you aren’t. I though you wuz, but you ain’t!

[Jane Long]

Several conferences that were scheduled in the upcoming weeks, for Japan...have been postponed. :(

[metmom]

Americans still sleeping

Normalacy bias.

[janetjanet998]

only 406 new cases in China but 150 more deaths

[justa-hairyape]

Singapore should handle it the best of that group with Iran at the bottom. We may see unrest break out also in Iran.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

“And so, at the end of the pandemic, 400 Americans died from the Coronavirus, but 6 million others died from this massive, unidentified viral pneumonia that blew up out of nowhere!”

[Lazamataz]

I get those pings already tho.

Still, add me again, just in case.

Oh, and again, as a backup.

[null and void]

Done da done done...

[riri]

100% what I think they are going to attempt to pull off.

I know you are joking but I have zero doubt this is the plan forxas long as they can get away with it.
