“No idea why they stopped. I would guess that even China’s ubiquitous surveillance took a little time to track down and eliminate the early leakers and smugglers.”

I recall a few posts around the first of March that talked about a team of 1,800(?) Chinese that was activated to really crack down on the internet leaks. Discussion back and forth about if with only 1,800 people could stop it. Got into computer geek stuff that I couldn’t understand so I didn’t follow it closely!

Plus there were a few youtubes and twitters from westerners that went away once they were evacuated back to England or wherever.

This whole thing is media driven hysteria. In a few weeks flu season will be over and this won’t even make the topnews cycle.

The regular flu likely has the same death rate in elderly patients with underlying problems. Thats how we get to 30,000-40,000 deaths each year. 80,000 died in 2018. Never a moment of panic about it. So what? 57 dead of corona and the stock market is crashing? Seriously?

Yes you have my prediction and I'm keeping a list of all the hysteria mongers on FR so I can mock them at my leisure all summer. 😆

Good. Just to keep score here, here is a math problem for you.

Take a very very very very large piece of paper of standard thickness (1/10th mm), as wide as you need. Take that sheet and fold it in half. Then do it again. Do this for a total of 50 times. How thick is the resulting folded up sheet?

But, the factis, the virus is not threatening the population. It is the hype that is destroying the economy.

The goal is to destroy President Trump

Even freepers have jumped on the virus fear bandwagon and will soon be calling for the end to the Trump Presidency. It’s what they always do.

We don't have a math problem here. 57 deaths out of 330 million people is not even reportable. Temps will hit 80 degrees in many areas of the US soon. That will be the end of this particular hyped non epidemic as well as regular flu season. Then you can get back to the UFO threads. 😆

In other words, you can’t do the calculation. Thought not.

you do know that the Pangolin is an endangered species. why would you want to treat a Pangolin that way? one backwards would be worse.
