“People have and are dying of other viruses! If we focused on those numbers, I’m sure we could whip up similar hysteria”

ok. give it a whirl.

[I understand. I suppose if you live/work in a big city, especially if you’re around a larger population of Chinese people, you’d be more concerned & prone to hysteria. None of those applies to me, so I’m not. And we have NO idea yet how lethal this is]

Well if any of those other viruses meet these critera let us know.

We care about NEW viruses that are highly contagious, have a high death rate, and are spreading to other countries.

We know the threat of viruses that have been around for a while. And we take appropriate precautions.

Well, 2 of 3 criteria you mentioned are not in effect yet...”level of contagiousness”, is TBD and death rate is running less than SARS right now (like 8%, mostly males with pre-existing conditions), and yes it is spreading to other countries.

Ever since I began taking elderberry three weeks ago, I have been spared with cold and flu. Prior to taking this, I had already dealt with two rounds of that stuff! Keeping fingers crossed.

Consider this: What happens if the corona virus starts running around California’s & Washington’s homeless encampments?

I would say that if you are in the middle of a cytokine storm you might want to look at whether you should take it. Before the storm hits it might be a different matter.

Of course, in the middle of cytokine storm many have already seen a doctor.

If the fatality rate was 4 percent (China’s numbers) people would have been panicking.

ROFLMAO!! This thread should be good :)

I think a thread of this type may be needed in a more Direct situation, like a nuke going off in Canada...then I would want up to the Second info...but what the heck, it’ll be good for laughs.

Dustin Hoffman will find a cure for it in no time anyway.

If there is an “accidental” nuclear explosion


they’d just use the opportunity to update their supply of neutron bombs - no measurable explosion, air burst, just all dead on the ground.
