suthener :" Just for general information, I was just passing on information."

That is already understood - an observation !
There are many who do not identify as looking for prepper information,
but practice many of it's basic principles as a logical life-style.
Your post pointed out the chaos that happens when medical facilities get overwhelmed
I appreciate your posting because it demonstrates the response to immediate medical necessity.

Read up on it Einstein.
The Chinese President called it a grave situation and said the spread was accelerating.
Yesterday.

And over 50 million have been quarantined.
Enforced by regular army troops.

And as of yesterday, the US,France, and Russia are flying their citizens out of Wuhan.

True....but if they keep flying and spreading....who’ll be buying tickets when they’re dead?

It now seems likely that the airborne (sneezed) virus can land in your eyes and infect you.

Isn't that true of most any similar disease?

“On second thoughts, I guess what you’re saying is that the Chinese government is lying its butt off.”

That is what I was trying to say, but I guess that I must have written poorly.

When Chernobyl occurred, Gorbachov and the evil Soviet government initially tried to cover the whole thing up. Unfortunately for them, “The Americans” could see everything from our satellites, BUSTED!

To this day the Russians claim only 30 or so people were killed by Chernobyl.

Brutal totalitarian governments lie and cover up all the time because they can.

And when it happens (the peace treaty) people will still think it’s a good thing. Those things are Great Tribulation, of course, but they’ll happen in those 3 - 1/2 years. /as you already know

I read apost about this video here on FR in which the poster said that they understood some Chinese and the word wasn’t “infected,” it was “dead.” Either way, it is understandable why they are dealing of a major metropolitan area.

I think that aspect is very telling. That’s why I think this might be very big.

I’m thinking it is something that escaped from a military operation working on bio warfare.

I ran the numbers using beginning with 41 infected people, and each one of them able to infect 3 other people. At day 12 it came to 44 million people infected. That seems really high, so I either did the math wrong or made some wrong assumptions. For example, not everyone comes in contact with a bunch of different people every day.

But - 90,000 dead out of 44 million is a mortality rate of 0.2%. Last years mortality rate of flu in the USA was estimated at 0.3% - with 90,000 dead from the flu. Although the first thing I thought when I heard the Asian gal talking about 90,000 - “Hmm - I wonder if they just pulled that number out of wikipedia?”

I was reading where the 1918 flu hit places in waves, with each wave lasting a month or so. So being able to hunker down for a month (doable for many) is helpful. Being able to hunker down for a year or two - not as doable for most.
