I’ve lost count of the countries that were gonna do us in.

Even nonsense here about Iran sinking a whole lot of our ships in a war.

China is a 3rd world Joke that doesn’t have enough common sense and enough antibiotics to stop the spread of a virus.

I know a lot of people died in 1918.

Developing pneumonia is what is killing the Chinese.

There was no penicillin in 1918 and there’s very likely an incredible shortage in 2020 china.

And they’d rather watch their people die than ask for outside help and drugs.

Some super power.

It's a VIRUS. Antibiotics don't work on viruses.

Antibiotics are directed at bacterial pathogens. They are useless for viruses. A limited number of antivirals directed at impairing viral replication exist with inconsistent performance. Vaccines directed against viral antigens take a couple weeks for the recipient to generate an effective titer of antibody. If the virus mutates in a way that changes the antigenic target, the virus is no longer subject to intervention by the existing antibody. We’re early in the process of finding a stable target antigen on this new corona virus.

Maybe China doesn’t have enough common sense to run a Level 4 microbiology lab either.

This could be a colossal mistake due to subpar building practices in China. This Level 4 microbiology lab in Wuhan is very new.

What if the virus was being weaponized for use against the west and escaped by accident from the lab because of shoddy construction.

In Sean Hannity terms, this would be a big effing boomerang back on the Chinese!

Just like I said about the Soviets and Chernobyl, these people are like children playing with matches!
