... 'Normal flu, if I get that, I'm going to infect on average about 1.3 or 1.4 people - if there was such a division,' he told Dr Xand van Tulleken on Channel 4's Coronavirus: How to Isolate Yourself programme.

'If those 1.3 or 1.4 people gave it to the next lot that's the second time it gets passed on. By the time that's happened 10 times, I've been responsible for about 14 cases of flu.' ...

Anyone old enough to remember apricot pits as the cancer cure?

Sadly, when ingested, the laetrile turns into cyanide.

She also says Democrats are taking it more seriously than Republicans.

Because Democrats watch too much garbage TV from CNN and MSDNC?

I think that’s probably true too. But that’s not a good thing.

Oh its a very good thing. Republicans have a heck of a lot more sense of perspective. Tell me, which states have by far the most infections and the most deaths? The deep blue hard core Democratic States of California, New York and Washington States. If they are so clever, how come they are screwed up more than anyone else?

Because we have real populations that do real business and are not a bunch of redneck,, rural cow dung shoveling, sister marrying hillbillies?

I know you’re not the sharpest tack on here but even you can see where 10s of millions of people might be more susceptible.

now let me let you get back to shoveling #### :)

This country has no chance because of the hatred for each other on both sides, not just one.

:)

"Yeah, and I’ve yet to see any good studies on lasting lung damage for those that survive."

Wow, there must be some reason for that. I wonder why? They've had days to find out!

;D

But it won't be so funny, when we do find out.

But many more older people are following the suggestion to self-quarantine. At least the smart ones.

Older people, by nature, stay home and watch TV or whatever far more than younger people. That has always been the case. They have much less energy .

If you ask me, those packed subway trains in New York have always been an excellent way to transmit any disease spread by air. Its no surprise NYC is one of the places with the highest incidents.
All these crazy “Green New Deal” people, if everyone went into mass transit like they are advocating, and the next “pandemic” comes up, it will swiftly spread in packed trains before anyone even realizes there is some new disease.

Not this old person. Plenty of energy, lots of activities. But I’ve been home almost 2 weeks because I follow instructions.

Me too!

Oh, and look at the stats from S. Korea, which seem to argue against the premise of the linked article; 38,000 tests, 8,961 positives (2.6% of those tested) and 111 deaths for a mortality rate of 1.2%.

Another very compelling reason that this is in fact a bio weapon.
