The ChiComs slaughter thousands of cats and dogs in Wuhan.

Btw, not much press on this EO:

EO to Order the Selected Reserve and Certain Members of the Individual Ready Reserve of the Armed Forces to Active Duty

I found this:

COVID-19 testing is important but has 10 to 15% rate of producing false, negative results, pathologist says

but when was he tested?

There are many instances when the test came back negative but they really had the virus

Starting with Patient 0.

The viral load may not be enough to trigger the test...or the test could be faulty, etc.

Bottom line is the fact that he tested negative is not a true reading of whether he had it unless perhaps tested within a day or two of death...and even then there are examples of faulty tests

His family should self quarantine and assume he had it.

Wait, don’t people from outside Hubei go to Hubei to work, not the other way around?

If so, why are Jiangxi people blocking the Hubei people from leaving?

And isn’t Wuhan still locked down for another 10 days?

Something is wrong with this.

Thank you. It’s very suspicious timing. He was fb’ing on Tuesday. No indication of feeling unwell. Wednesday they say he passed from complications from the flu but the test was negative

“Most of the state-by-state updates I have posted that include age related data show the majority of cases being under the age of 60. Washington seems to be the outlier. Is that because of that one nursing home cluster?”

Yes, and also people believe it is more age focused than is true due to the earliest demographics of victims. But data-wise, yes, that is what makes WA the outlier.

In my opinion, there are too many cases of being negative in the beginning and turning into positive later to just be the fault of a bad test.

I really think it is more that good ole Wuhan Virus is tricky SOB and your viral load isnt high enough to test positive while the virus continues to wreck your body

“Boris Johnson revealed he had tested positive for the disease after developing a temperature and persistent cough.”

It’s going to be interesting to watch Johnson. He can’t go more than a day without appearing on video or people will start to questions whether he is in good enough shape to be running the country.

Maybe he was unwell and not just saying anything.

Even if he died from just flu complications it seems like it would take more than 24 hours.

The person in my family who went down that road had more than a day between death and initial feeling unwell.

That sounds like pretty sound information and advise.

And math is math - as long as you know the parameters and conditions.

The whole thing will be a shock to everyone.

And its not great in the middle of all it worrying that they have been exposed to Wuhan.

But in the middle of a weird situation- everyone just has to realize it is a possibility and take precautions

This virus has wiped out multiple members of families...and then others just dont have a problem with it.

That said, flu deaths can happen very quickly with the pneumonia/ septic shock angle.

You said: “Not nearly as deadly as the flu.”

I said that was a lie. A dangerous lie.

You said: “So, you’re saying this virus has killed more people than the flu? And you’re calling me a liar?”

Yes, you are a liar. Twisting words. This virus killed more people today than the flu does on an average day during flu season. Even in a bad flu year. That’s what I said. And it happens to be true. And tomorrow it will kill even more. If you want a projection - here you go: this virus overtakes the seasonal flu death toll in less than two weeks. God, I hope I am so wrong on that.

You are clearly just another death cultist, cheering on the current pandemic and spreading as much disinformation and doubt as you can to get even more people killed.

Go back to China, Winnie.

I just read in the Baltimore Sun that the peak in Maryland is in July. That sounds strange. I can’t click on the models because I hit my allotted number if views/paywall.

Are we seeing reports of “cytokine storm” with this Covid-19?

thanks for the ping, Jane

thanks for the thread, Mariner

my temp is 98.6. I have been self-quarantined for 10 days.

Chen Quishi and Fang Bin are still missing and the CCP still sucks eggs.

I’m not mad. I’m sad that people are dying at all.

I haven’t been wrong, yet, unfortunately.

At least I actually post data and conclusions based on that data. How much math you got, by the way? As far as I can tell, basic addition is outside of your skill set.

What I am, is disgusted that a troll with no actual knowledge or ability to contribute is spewing dangerous claims that will cause harm. Have you actually said anything that didn’t amount to “it’s a hoax”?

Get lost, Winnie.

Yes.

Thus the various discussions of how to calm it.

With some looking at Monolaurin
