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.

If the State department was defacto owned by foreign governments...we should assume ALL government departments are owned.

Which foreign government would benefit from an epidemic in the US?

Yep....and, she confirmed that only those coming from China/overseas are being tested.

What the heck is up with that?

Like you said...a LOT of good info, there.

They are telling us right here in black and white. Wow.

“However, it’s important to note that current global circumstances suggest it is likely that this virus will cause a pandemic. In that case, the risk assessment would be different.

What May Happen

More cases are likely to be identified in the coming days, including more cases in the United States. It’s also likely that person-to-person spread will continue to occur, including in the United States. Widespread transmission of COVID-19 in the United States would translate into large numbers of people needing medical care at the same time. Schools, childcare centers, workplaces, and other places for mass gatherings may experience more absenteeism. Public health and healthcare systems may become overloaded, with elevated rates of hospitalizations and deaths. Other critical infrastructure, such as law enforcement, emergency medical services, and transportation industry may also be affected. Health care providers and hospitals may be overwhelmed. At this time, there is no vaccine to protect against COVID-19 and no medications approved to treat it. Nonpharmaceutical interventions would be the most important response strategy”

ALL foreign governments would benefit from an epidemic here. There people are pouring funds into US for safe haven
So that’s not a helpful way of looking at this IMO.

I just see CDC self-interest.

Self interest?

How so?

If they’re not going to do anything, why do we need them at all?

All designed to ‘assist’ him in losing in November.

They’re actively Katrina’ing him with this.

It feels like the ultimate coup now... I’m even more worried about him on this trip now.

If we have an epidemic here, it will be because CDC actively sought it.

Several have claimed it is incompetence but there it is, they are saying exactly what kind of disastrous result their inaction will lead to.

I can only assume Trump approves of this.

And by saying no drugs have been approved for treatment for this...Insurance won’t COVER any drugs used for treatment for this.
