South Korea spike: Cases in the Asian country have surged past 340 after more than 140 new infections were reported on Saturday. Nearly half of the total cases are associated with a religious group in the south of the country.

Or at least, it seems serious.
100 two days ago.
200 yesterday.
Now, 340.
To read the article the other way, it seems to be saying, over half the new cases are NOT associated with the church.
Ah, so it might be a pandemic.
The mortality rate seems to be between 2 and 5 percent.
Not good but not awful.
A lot of people have already gotten better outside of China with home rest.
People die. Sometimes from old age, sometimes from getting hit by a car, sometimes by pandemics.
It is what it is and it will run its course.
No sense sweating it.
Keep Advil or Tylenol in the house and some chicken soup.
You’ll be fine.
At 5%, NYC would be 500,000 less people.
Rents would probably get cheaper though.
The mortality rate seems to be between 2 and 5 percent.

I believe that the rule of thumb is that a 10% casualty rate for any outfit that is not the USMC will require some major regrouping either during or after the event before effectively taking on another major event.
Five percent certainly has the potential, through panic, to bring society to or close to its knees. We do not have the moral backbone we once had, or the communal strength.
Nano-Silver too.
“We do not have the moral backbone we once had, or the communal strength.”
Where we live people are already storing canned food, dry food, TP and other necessities. Water is all around us.
What you say does not apply to this culture. We will get through this by ourselves as we have for many decades.
Welcome to the emerald triangle.
I hope the best for the South Koreans, but it will be interesting to see how the infection plays out there, because we can be relatively sure that the South Koreans will report real numbers, as opposed to the lying whores in the Chinese Communist Party.
Unfortunately the South Korean President is a China-appeaser and even though almost a million people signed a petition plus thousands coming out in protest for highly strict Coronavirus prevention measures in its initial stages...he didn’t take them.
I have lots of close family there. So am in prayer on their behalf.
SK’s need to strike.
Everybody stay home for a week.
Maybe then the elites would notice them.
Yes probably should have gone on strike sooner though. The president and others responded with something like “China’s suffering is our suffering. Let’s share.”
*eyeroll*
Well, better sooner than later.
Everybody calling in sick Monday morning would get their attention.
I had to look up emerald triangle.
I grew up in the Northern regions of the State of Jefferson, not too far from you up the coast—in North-Central Coos County, a little south of Coos Bay, in a valley where we had shotguns, and rifles, and four wheel drives. Not so much on our own whiskey, but definitely our own smokes, for those who cared. And I can run a trot line.
I’m now in Canada, but in a somewhat similar local, albeit one where the snow mobile is probably as important as a four-wheel drive.
And a country boy can survive.
That said, when things fall apart, it ain’t gonna be pretty.
Interest is up, and the stock market down, and you only get mugged if you go down town.
And now that the evening numbers have just been released - 87 new cases - the total number for today alone was 229 new cases, making the overall total 433. It more than doubled from yesterday’s overall total of 204.
This could go viral in S.K., and it's already looking like it is.
These headstrong people who ignore symptoms and infect others at will, are
our worst nightmare.
It's more or less like that idiot here who decided he didn't need to honor his
quarantine.
Rents would probably get cheaper though.”
But the number of democrat voters would remain exactly the same.
Keep an antihistamine like Benadryl to keep it out of your lungs.
