Flu

[biglentil]

Over 100 people a day now dying in a country of 1.4B people.

That's the official number and unofficially it's much worse. But even the official number is scary considering that symptoms only surface after 2 weeks and peak at 3 weaks after initial infection. 3 weeks ago there were less than 300 confirmed cases. Today its 40000 and the WHO just came out to say that's the tip of the iceberg. There could be upwards of a million infected.

To find death rate most news outlets are using Deaths(1000)/Confirmed (40000) cases= 2.5%
This method understates the true death rate significantly imo. That would be assuming that every single one of remaining confirmed cases are going to make a full recovery. But like globull warming caused by C02 sheeple buy it because they said so.

The death rate for this virus is the number that most are trying to get a handle on. That number will increase rapidly after the hospitals become full and oxygen mask usage can't keep up with pneumonia demand. We may have to crawl to the shop.

Exponential will have its way, unless there are some positive unknowns that we don't know about this virus yet.

The last regions or countries to be infected will have an advantage, learning from previous mistakes.

If this virus continues to picks up steam world wide, the velocity of money will be painfully slow.

It just may be a good time to be a trapper in the North West Territories with a functioning Still.

Accidentally hit the like. What a scary scene!

Rigors. Must have been quite the fever.

Very scary. I think 7 billion people is enough already.
Or Mother nature will thin the herd for us.
Maybe not this go round , but sooner or later.

Remember when certain posters said US so bad, their medical system is for the rich, they are falling behind the chinese?

In the virus outbreak what did china do? Fumigated streets, built prison hospitals, locked up 400 million people in cities, burned bodies, hid information, arrested people, shot some people, silenced theor doctors, censors media etc etc.

And what did the US do? Well just leverage their world class technology to quietly find a vaccine in just mere hours.

Don't you ever fing tell me that China is going to overtake the US.

Good news everyone! They will be doing initial trials of the vaccine by mid summer. The bad news computer models suggest 85% of the worlds population will be infected by the end of May.

Local media here posted a story about one of the people in quarantine at CFB Trenton being taken to the local hospital “but not showing symptoms”. Within half an hour the story was deleted and today we’re being told of the hospital and media being under a gag order. Seems odd if the person truly has some other medical issue and not the virus

I just read an article saying the coronavirus can cause heart attacks in some people, which may explain the pictures of bodies laying in the streets in China.

It also says Asians may have more difficulties with this virus than people with European ancestry.

[sumdumguy]

Man you gotta take precautions.

Like, I would never eat at a place where they serve moo goo guy ding, or sum dum guy...

Me either, no sum dum guy please!. Would you get into an elevator full of China men?

I had given up on you noticing this...LOL!

[malleefarmer]

See last night kids remain almost unaffected and can be carriers.

Last night said 6.4% of worlds population under quarantine wow

[biglentil]

We can ignore the problem but we won't be able to ignore the consequences. Quarantines have proven ineffective, the kungflu moves as an aerosol.

"When historians look back at the COVID-19 outbreak, they'll remember this week as an important turning point in the crisis, when international public-health experts and investors started to focus their attention on South Korea, Japan and other countries in the region that have seen the number of new cases accelerate markedly in recent days.

Put another way,*evidence that the virus is spreading more rapidly within other Asian countries outside mainland China has become impossible to ignore,*which is probably why US futures are pointing to a lower open for a second straight day."

Likely a movie will follow. "Crazy Dead Asians" showing in select cities soon.

The Who's initial reaction was as if they wanted this to spread. They were more worried about coming up with a name that didnt offend anyone.

Then there is the cruise ship quarantine what a disaster. 14 cases turned into 500 cases after two weeks right when people started dieing they are forced to call it quits so truth doesnt get out. Hundreds of freshly infected left in taxi cabs and uber's.
