Flu

Tracking cell phones, Apparently 140k have abandoned Wuhan, this would explain why. Army has seized rice fields.

I'd like to see the number of wuhan registered cell phones with long term contracts that have simply fallen off the radar...

There maybe more cases of coronavirus in Canada than it appears . This isnt the 1st report that I heard that doctors are not allowed to run tests for Covid19 unless directly travelled from China recently. Like WTF?

guys the regular flu killed 80,000 Americans last year and 3000 Canadians.

Have some perspective. It's not a pandemic yet.

Its 2 months old Jazz and comparing it to the flu silly at this point in time. Btw it just met the WHO's official definition for pandemic, but they decided they arent going to call it one. Too scary of word I guess. The time to nip it in the bud is right off the bat, no pun intended. The lack of proper procedure is a concern. 10% of the worlds population is now in quarantine and I'm not interested in being part of that statistic. However I said weeks ago that I think this is going to be nasty lesson in exponential growth for the general public. Let's hope to god I'm wrong and by some miracle it gets under control, but stocking up on some extra shit wipe is never a bad idea.

Btw listened to some of that Zeihan video, some may find him witty but I think the guy is a total goof, value 0.

His humour aside, you don't see anything in his global insights that match up with reality? I see him pretty spot on for most of that. He called wexit tensions 6 years ago.

Nope. He talks quickly and drops plenty of name and lingo bombs. Nothing intelligent I could gather, but hey maybe that's just me. Couldn't watch it all so maybe I missed the point.

Cbc article Canada working on a plan to deal with a potential coronavirus pandemic. #workingonit Does it sound like they have a good plan in place?

Who knows the accuracy but WHO have changed there tune since initial announcement really think in wilds of western Canada and my patch were to a fair degree immuned.

I know jazz and I agree on most things but China rules the world virus a month on wolrld almost shut down.

Said a while back China India then Russia/USA vying for third spot on who biggest player.

Edit re who “ The new virus has a death rate below 2 per cent, while the SARS fatality rate was around 10 per cent.” this was on 12 th feb changed now I reckon

[malleefarmer]

And nutters suggesting China created the flu so it could by food cheaper geez I’ve got more chance in believing in GW and Climate change.

[rumrocks]

Why do I think the PM will designate this virus/kind that will kill some of us, special privileges because it can't speak for it's self.

I'm sure he has already booked an island in the Caribbean for his family and friend before things start to look questionable.

If he leaves, what will Canadians do without a seasoned and wise leader to guide us through the chaos and turmoil that lie ahead.
