The number of those officially recovered is lower than the number of officially dead as per the Chinese government.

https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/pandemic-inevitable-doctors-studying-coronavirus-21404708

It’s the Star, but the numbers as issued at some point in time are correct.

The pneumonia is a bad one. Stocking up a couple of months’ worth of necessities would be a good way to go.

I wonder if such a declaration in necessary in order to issue the travel ban? Of course some judge will lift it.

Uh oh...this doesn't look good...

Caption: A plane carrying British refugees touched down in the UK today, and was met by four Horseman coaches

Somebody really messed with that caption! The company name is "Horseman Coaches," NOT "Four Horseman Coaches."

Or, maybe there were four buses there to pick up the people, all provided by Horseman Coaches.

Is the caption-writer stupid and uneducated? Or playing around? Or just harried and didn't even think about it?

That’s so considerate they are giving them all a few days to scatter before the rules take effect. They really DO care! /s

Or this thing is far worse than anybody is officially letting on. We didn’t see this for the many previous viruses that were going to end the world. Something is afoot here. There is an awful lot of odd coincidences here...

* The “researcher” and her students getting sacked at the Canadian Level 4 lab and having her computer confiscated
* The Chinese researchers at the Canadian lab were experts in AIDS and Ebola viruses.
* The announcement by the Indian research team today of the four sections of gene sequences on the virus “spikes” that are identical to AIDS and enable virus attachment to human cells
* The Wuhan market proximity to the Chinese Level 4 bio lab
* The sudden disclosure eight days ago that the Chinese are looking at AIDS vaccines to fight this.

Your analysis is flawed. Very.

The flu has a .1% mortality rate - 25 million cases this year, 2500 deaths. 2,497,500 people recovered, 2500 died. 0.1% (approximate numbers, simplified for explanation purposes).

This thing has fewer than 10,000 confirmed cases and over 200 deaths. over 2% mortality rate.

Of all the confirmed cases of the WHV (Wu Han Virus) only 200ish have officially recovered and the recoveries surpassed the deaths for the first time today (because, after there were nearly 2000 newly confirmed cases yesterday, magically only a couple hundred were confirmed today). I suspect they ran out of test kits.

Now, if nobody else dies and it turns out that another 200,000 cased are determined to have occurred, your claims will have merit. Right now they’re junk.

“Beginning at 5 p.m. on Feb. 2, U.S. citizens returning from Wuhan will be subject to quarantine.”


Why not start now? Is the virus less dangerous now, and it will suddenly become dangerous at 5 P.M. on 2/2?

Cue the federal judge on the Dem payroll to overturn the travel ban.

Perhaps this time Trump would order such a judge ruling to be ignored for public safety.
