If Americans can’t take 2 weeks or rolling 2 weeks of shutdown, they darn sure won’t be able to handle a WW3. I’m guessing those that want to be arrogant and run around screaming ‘rights! rights!’ are either panda virtue-signalers or are such because they don’t like themselves enough to spend some downtime with themselves. People who are centered seem to have few issues with a staycation, willing to trust and knowing that Trump is working hard to secure income and protect jobs (and employers) during this time.

H1N1 apparently took about 0.03 percent of its victims, at most, in the US. Unfortunately, WuFlu appears to be taking about 1% to 4% of its victims (out of all confirmed cases), depending on the country, except in Italy, where it seems to be 8% or 9%. The ratio of deaths to total resolved cases is sometimes significantly higher.

The US government has to shutdown because of the flu clown posse. Great work guys.

Sounds like Harris County needs a full shutdown, except for essential businesses. Given the ease of spread of this thing, I would have started at just one confirmed case. With our lack of testing — currently being remedied — I would have to assume at least 9 more locals were also infected and that it could be starting to go wild there.

50,000 is on the high side for flu.

The average is high thirties, I think.

Not commenting on anything other than the severity.

The country doesn’t have the ACTUAL numbers of the MANY people who recovered at home without going to the doctor would bring the mortality percentages way down!! There have been a huge number of people who have had this and thought they had the flu recovered and went back to their lives!!!

I have personally have never been on one of these threads. In addition I was not inferring that you personally were panicking, though I guess my response could be construed as such. I was trying to be generic with my response that the correct response for those who believe it was a bio-weapon, is to get mad not panic.

So are you actually in China, or are you communicating with someone in China? I want to know more of what your situation really is for you to give actual on ground accounts within China.

Also, why would China unleash the more deadly strain in Iraq & Italy?

Thank you - rather sobering about our “leaders”.

I know my mid 70s mom and my MIL follow the virus closely as does the rest of my family on both sides of the Pacific.

Yep. The media and Democrats are still laughing their asses off seeing how easy it was. And they are kicking their asses for not doing it earlier.

No, it will eventually burn out in you. Unless it mutates inside you...but unless you are continually reinfected you will adapt.

How widespread are your cases? Are nearly all counties infected yet?

Keep in mind that the trillions of dollars of federal debt spending during the CV epidemic, and the states' loss of tax revenues from shut-downs, has to be paid off aftewards somehow. That will almost certainly take the form of years of 10+% inflation and much higher taxes.

The price we will pay for this Chinese virus will be at least ten years of a much reduced standard of living.

And it will happen again unless we destroy the Chinese Communist regime in China, as we destroyed the Russian Communist regime in the former Soviet Union.

This is the THIRD dangerous epidemic to come out of China in the past twenty years. The previous two were SARS and HN1. The Chinese Communist regime has established that it is a threat to humanity, and most definitely is a threat to us.

It doesn't matter whether this is because the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is doing this because it is corrupt, or evil, or plain incompetent (actually it is all three). The point is that its inherent nature is a threat to America and the world in general. The Chinese Communist Party must be destroyed for us to be safe at home.
