Many people are convinced that China’s lockdown worked, prevented infection and that we should immediately follow suit. I disagree. An article in The Lancet, a medical periodical, studied the early phase of China’s epidemic, and concluded that the virus had spread to all corners of China before they even started the lockdown in the Wuhan area.
So by inference, they had positive cases that began probably in early December 2019, probably even in November. The so called lockdown started on January 23-24th, when they realized they had several atypical pneumonias in their hospitals in Wuhan, linked to the COVID-19 virus. By the time they implemented social distancing, the virus had already infected thousands. By that time it was too late.
Like the common cold, coronavirus is spread not as much by people contact, but more by environmental factors. This means if you are in a congested city, there will be more sickness. If you live in the county, less so.. The approach the world is taking to this virus is dead wrong. Social distancing does nothing. The best thing to do is just take precautions like you would for a common cold. This is virus that doesn’t require person to person contact.
People are just vectors for environmental spread. It will run its course in 6-8 weeks and that will be it. We might as well enjoy our lives, because there is little that one can do to stop it. The saving grace is that it is not as lethal as as the misguided experts are saying. Chance of death = 0.22%. Most of the deaths will occur in individuals over 70.

It’s not airborne. Measles is an example of airborne. The WuFlu spreads via droplets either suspended in the air or left on surfaces where it survives anywhere from a few minutes to a few days depending on the material and environmental conditions.
No, we just do not have enough data yet since we can not trust the data coming from China or Iran. Keep an eye on Japan, S. Korea and Italy at least they will report honest data.
Moron doctor is moron.
It only takes a small amount of common sense to know a virus can live on a surface.
I would not take the chance, based on this one person’s opinion.

Virus can live on surfaces five days! Please take care.
Obviously, this virus does not behave in quite the way that it has been described by the media. The following link no doubt deserves a thread of its own, but I am reluctant to start another Corona-virus thread.

Yes, the media knows that this will be the end of the world, er, Trump.
They've already proven that licking a toilet would be safer than licking the fold down food trays on airlines.
Complete chaos and or misinformation and or conflicting information is the only thing that will save the democrats.
I would too.
This is EXACTLY what a leading CDC researcher told me a month ago.
Because “social distancing” is the Orwellian term being used for forcing people out of their jobs and business and denying them basic freedoms. And yes, it’s very harmful
It’s airborne.....Cruise ships, planes, TSA agents, etc. The alarm went out 2 months ago. No one listened. Trump should have grounded every single aircraft the first time China started digging up streets.
Monday: keep your distance
Tuesday: distance doesn’t matter
So much crap. So little credibility.
It would be amazing if it hadn't. Why aren't there numerous other Chinese cities experiencing major outbreaks like Wuhan did?
Don't tell me "they locked everyone down with an iron fist" either. Even the ChiComs can't lock down 1.5 billion people that tightly especially when the seeds had already been sown.
Agreed
