“I want HEADS”.
Drama Queen.
Apparently the Chinese govt believes it, as they have ~50M people under partial or complete lockdown.
yep
1 new death in Shanghai. BNO.
Only 85 out of 1,052 confirmed coronavirus patients in Hubei province has been released from hospital. At least 129 patients are in serious to critical condition.
BNO
“Someone wants to distract us from China’s imploding economy.”
It doesn’t seem that faking/overstating a pandemic would exactly help their economy.
Time to wake up. Lancet study showed that of the 41 initial cases, 6 or 15% died. 100% got pneumonia. Only about 30% of those 31 have been release from the hospital.
How many of the currently infected are going to die? With an R0 of 2.6, even a quarantine of an effective rate of 99% would only slow the transmission rate by a third in areas outside of the quarantine areas, so how many ultimately will be infected?
Quarantine is the only tool available to stop the spread, and with this transmission rate and incubation period, it looks like that may not be possible.
Even if the death rate ends up being much lower, and the rate of those contracting pneumonia much lower, how much can any nation’s system handle?
On a pike?
I was attempting to ridicule the hysteria.
Pretty much.
Two unconfirmed cases here in central Texas. One a Texas A&M student, and the other a Baylor student. On KBTX tv website.
Looker calling out the lady at the Canadian presser that said it isn’t contagious before showing symptoms
If it's presence in the host person is limited to being on the *inside* of 1 (or 10) cells for the first several days, then the host can't spread the infection to others during that time.
That could only happen "post-explosion" when infectious material spreads to the respiratory tract, right?
There are currently 1,822 confirmed cases worldwide, including 56 fatalities.

The two and possibly 3 being monitored in TX are also college students. Think about that for a minute.
The US just today brought in one plane full of diplomats from there. Expect more planes as there’s at least 1000 “diplomats and US citizens” the WH is getting home.
Yes, this is spectulation. But so is the underlying basis for this being The Big One.
It would also mean that an infected person would not be detected reliably and would be released into the population to infect later.
I figured as much..that’s why I posted to you..you are an island of rationality in sea of hysteria.
Not possible with every country bringing back their diplomats , their families, security, etc.

I’d be willing to bet every college campus with chinese students has a case or two within a cpl weeks.
