Flu

[jazz]

So let this sink in. Canada refuses to restrict travel from China as the US has already done. BTW Trump was branded a racist for doing that.

Now incubation period could be 3 weeks or more, meaning everyone quaruntined for 2 weeks may have still been a carrier or infected. There is almost 250-400M people in lockdown in China. The constructed hospitals look more like prisons, people being arrested for speaking out about the true numbers. Cases could be a lot higher. One cruise ship has hundreds of infected people. Transmission through touch, airborne, mucus membranes and your eye.

Like what does it have to become before our idiot govt actually puts in some real measures to deal with this?

If you think this is a normal flu you need to watch this video inside a Wuhan hospital.

Accidentally hit the like. What a scary scene!

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

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.

Rigors. Must have been quite the fever.

[sawfly1]

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

[rumrocks]

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.

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?
