Flu

[shtferbrains]

Alberta has good website. Fair bit of detailed data.

As of yesterday they had tested about 20,000 with an infection rate of less than 1%.

That is about 25% of the testing in Canada. I assume with a later start?

The 1% may indicate they have a much lower restrictions on who gets tested.

They also show the highest positives among the 20-30 age group.

Maybe the most traveled?

Many aussies calling it americanflu rather than Chinese flu lol. Majority of cases via stateside

Biglentil, you had been posting a lot of valuable information (if somewhat alarmist) on this from the start, earning a lot of credibility and respect. Why did you just go an ruin that with a conspiracy theory?

This event literally is the nail in the coffin of globalization, of which China's entire economy is built on, yet some conspiracy theorist thinks they blew that up on purpose?

I have no opinion one way or the other on conspiracy theories, and certainly do not dismiss BL's views.

If this doesn't put the globalist train off the rails, then we are beyond stupid, or hopelessly subjugated by special interests.

Do you still think it's just the flu Jazz?

Well if china releases a superbug, they fkd that up too like all their products.

This flu has targeted a small subset of our population, elderly, frail, smokers, vapors and hypertensive (due to ACE inhibitor drugs prescribed). They rest of the population is barely aware they have it or had it.

read the stats.

Trying to lock down an entire continent and give politicians the war measures powers for a couple hundred deaths.

You will not recognize this economy after this wild over reaction. There will be more suicides than virus deaths. But I fully agree globalism died this week, someone just forgot to tell china about it.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out when the dust all settles .
The culture of overreaction could collapse society in the meantime .
Hopefully this guy is right.

You are going to have something else to watch soon - peoples reaction to being squeezed and restricted. Already there are places where people are sick or suspect being sick and refuse to be tested because the govt just keeps clamping down so now we have even less information than before. And we could really use those numbers because it would drive down the fatality rate and the hysteria.

This is BSE times a trillion - shoot, shovel and shut up.

Provincial govts already enacting laws to fine or arrest people breaking quarantine. Looks very 1984 to me.

I give this 3 weeks at the most, after that you will need the army to keep people in when mid April rolls around. FCS there are 50 square miles per person in sask. You couldn't start a plague if you wanted to.

I sure as hell wont be voting for Moe after this one.

But its just a cold, snake bites kill more people. No worries mate.

The prolongation of the QT segment is the problem. Will covid or a heart attack kill more, that's the question.

Anecdotal from a flawed 6 patient study - but no one knows for sure.

edit: oh and as always USA #1 .... for new cases unfortunately. 7300 vs Italy's 6500. 516 Cases with an outcome 66% death.
