I am hoping for a rapid weakening of the virus.
How credible are these sources?
Is any one getting better, recovering from it?
I mean how many people die of regular flu’s and such vs how many people get them to begin with?
just wondering.
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.

And more have died from one of the more common influenza strains. But that doesn’t feed the hysteria now does it?
So about 1 in 45 die from it so far or about 2% of those who contract it.
Anyone who gets this coronavirus has a 2% chance of dying from it but a 98% chance of surviving - assuming no immune compromised systems.
And how many millions of people live in China? I have a hard time getting upset about this one it’s just like SARS and Ebola: overblown panic that leads nowhere, thank God. I got upset with SARS and Ebola; in I was very worried. I learned my lesson. I predict it will be contained and will not spread very much. Although I’m certainly no epidemiologist.
And how many millions of people live in China? This is infinitesimal.
Rule of thumb, any number of Deaths reported by a Communist Government should be multiplied by 100.
