Many “cases” showing no china connection. I think this is the flu that has killed the weak for years. But now that all flu victims are tested, there is a name for it.

And the conspiracy nut in me thinks the media is playing this long established flu as Corona to make trump look bad and markets crash.

It’s not nothing. The market crashed because China is closed. But the actual virus in this country is being hyped to harm Trump

Yeah and every other leader and every other government official including Donald Trump and VP Pence are all conspiring. Because they are ALL taking extreme measures to stop the spread of the virus in their own countries. Every. Single. One.

It is not a nothing burger.

This is a new virus that is spreading globally and humans have not adapted to it yet. The 1918 flu killed 40 to 50 million, then humans adapted. Even today we are not entirely sure what stopped the 1918 flu.

The fear feels synthetic and my Spiderman senses are NOT going off at all. This is fake and engineered by Leftist to crash our economy and blame President Trump.

Why has every single government in the entire world instituted extreme and unprecedented measures (including by his own admission President Trump) to stop, slow or contain this virus?

I guess we’re just imagining all the dead people in, well, a bunch of places.

Even if everything you say is true this will saturate and then overwhelm our health care system if it gets loose, and we have community transmission on three continents - and no information about what’s happening on a couple of others.

So telling people to go back to sleep is actually causing harm.

This is not the end of the world, but the CV is not the flu. It has a higher transmission rate, higher mortality rate and it can infect others from asymptomatic carriers.

So if you want to ignore this, feel free, but don’t interfere with rational people taking reasonable precautions.

How many of those flu deaths were actually the WuFlu, and no one knew?

It’s not the actual numbers that are at issue. It’s the supposed logic behind their use.

It’s not 2% in 3rd world countries. It’s 3.5% of those listed as sick have died so far. In a spreading infection, it is not very meaningful except trivially as a ratio between how fast it infects and how fast it kills.

It’s 50% of those who have gotten sick have recovered.
It’s 17% of those resolved died outside of China and Iran - which is slightly up since last Tuesday. (In General, takes longer to recover than to die). 21% if you also remove Singapore and Hong Kong as being part of China.

The death rates are going to go down, and there are reports that cohort studies show mortality rates of 3.2-4.5%.

Why don’t you acquire the virus. Then tell us how the experience was a ‘nothing burger’ if you survive

There is someone here who is clearly a Dr or a radiologist.

He indicated he didn’t think it had been here for that long.

He is basing it on the Xrays. People would have been alerted to the glass shard look and would have looked for what caused it.

I am skeptical of his assessment but can’t say he is wrong. Seems to me glass shard people could have been misdiagnosed.. There are a number of things that can cause it.

and those 20-some so-called ‘vaccines’ are going to be worse the the disease itself. you know all the companies will be held blameless for any damages/deaths that come from them.

“Only the very old and very young die.”

Why spread disinformation here?

Coronavirus kills young Wuhan doctor

A 29-year-old doctor in Wuhan has become the latest victim of the coronavirus as China reported infections in prisons in three provinces, as well as clusters in Beijing.
