Beat it, crackpot. This thread is for serious ppl not uneducated dolts. BTW, between you and me, I’d be ok if a wicked virus took out folks like you. You’re truly useless.

I have — yet another — dumb question:

Where are the cases in India, Africa and South America?

Surely by now the Wuhan Flu has spread to there as well


Not a dumb question

there are a few India..but not a huge amount..but many rural villages too

many experts believe there are some in Africa but no way to test enough ..some suspected cases turned up negative..lots of Chinese in Africa for business

“And we’re tired of you people helping the Left push this hysteria!”

You’re trying to suppress open discussion with ridicule and derision.

And if you had the power to do so, you would ban and censor it. You would do so because you are emotionally invested in a world view.

And I’m astounded at the ignorance of so many Freepers who believe a disease outbreak is a leftist plot to bring down a POTUS.

“VERY curious how IRAN of all places has so many infected and dead. Were they working with China on an engineered virus?”

I talk to my sister she was missionary in South Korea and has Korea friends that attend that church.

The church was doing missionary work in China up until the first of Dec. She also believe they had a communion service recently.

Explain why you “serious people” are ignoring the fact that more people are dying and being hospitalized from influenza A and B? You never deal with this! All you do is offer your bull sh*t conjecture!

The only nuts are you Coronavirus Groupies! You are helping the Left push this as some type of pandemic, when it’s not even close to meeting those requirements! You are assisting the Left in tanking our economy, but you’re too hysterical to see it!

Quite possible. They cannot explain how it appeared in Iran and just say "they have strong trading arrangements with China". If that were enough everyone working at Walmart would be bedridden by now. There's more to the story...

lol.

It is often a fine line between a crazy conspiracy theory and a brilliant insight.

Everybody stay calm... :-)

The danger from flu has absolutely nothing to do with a new corona virus. They’re separate and distinct and equally as dangerous so stop with the KooK conspiracy theory. It’s real. On second thought, disregard the threat. We’re better off if you get a full lung full.

As usual the US CDC is a full month behind the curve.

Only a month behind is fast for a bureaucracy!

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

I read a news story this morning that the 12 cases reported in Vietnam have all recovered or in the process of recovery including a baby....and no new cases. There’s so much conflicting info. The hype will be way more damaging than the actual virus.

Dumbass people. “OH DEAR EDNA, LETS EMPTY OUR RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS!!! 0VER 100 PEOPLE NOW CONFIRMED WITH THE SNIFFLES!”

Talked with a Venezuelan friend this morning. He has family stuck there and is very concerned about the virus. Mentioned the many Chinese,Iranians and Russians there. If it hits there I don’t see how we can stop it.

Yes, they are.

But that does not alter the reality.
