My take on the comparison is that with 50k-60k Americans dying each year of flu, all of us go about our daily lives with no real concern, even to the point of not getting a flu shot.

If the virus ends up killing 100,000 Americans, OK, we maybe should have taken it more seriously from day 1, but there’s no point in crying chicken little at this point. What would we each have done differently even if that’s the case?

What’s Hillary’s famous line?

This is already a problem with the supply chain and damaging business. That is what the RATS want.

Johns Hopkins has 59. This article is vastly understating.

I was saying the next one would be announced 10 min. after Trump finishes his presser. Guess I lose the office pool.

Bno here:

I’ve seen no assertions that either of these sites, which have been heavily used for weeks, are in any way bogus.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Governments lie. Every. Single. One. Of. Them.

Some much more than others...

I’m sure they are burning bodies non stop (sulfur fumes) and there are only around 3k dead.

That's being "explained" away by steel mills running hammer and tongs.

China must need even more steel than usual with all its other industries shut down!

Hmmm could a steel mill be used to dispose of bodies?

Nahhhhh, that's just crazy talk....

This seems to be a slow growth. If the government is being truthful, I am a little less concerned. I will still be taking certain measures to avoid infection.

.0000006% infection rate here, but let’s crash the markets which were rebounding nicely until some jackass Peter Marks from the FDA decided to tell everyone we are on the cusp of a pandemic. Yes, he joined during the Obama Administration.

Should America look into what is causing this virus and try to ELIMINATE it before it gets worse and worse?

It is going to get worse.

The 14 from the cruise shipe brought in by the State Department on a commercial flight, and those infected on that flight, don’t seem to count.

Conflating this new virus with the flu is abject ignorance.

Or, more likely, intentional ignorance. RThe original meaning of the word.
