the current Corona virus strain has died of it. It's just like what happens in the movie Contagion! And there are two cruise ships in the Far East full of passengers under 14-day quarantine, as are Americans who were just flown back from China (I think); if I'm not mistaken, they're under 14-day quarantine at U.S. military bases here. Take your Vitamin C, and stuff! |

The coronavirus is overblown by the media, as usual.
for example... from what I have heard, in the typical year more people have died from standard flu variations than the coronavirus so far. so until deaths from the coronavirus greatly exceed the typical flu season, I would not worry about it that much.
but with that said... I can see people taking precautions just to be extra safe. because as the saying goes, 'it's better to be safe, than sorry'.

China is a cesspool of overpopulation, filth, disease, ignorance and totalitarianism. We should blow if off the face of the earth.

Yeah, this coronavirus spread so quickly after he spoke out in December, they didn't even have a chance to name it. I'm not sure if most people know that SARS was caused by a coronavirus, SARS-CoV. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_respiratory_syndrome-related_coronavirusThe way people are talking about it, even on the news, you'd think this is the coronavirus and that's its name, but that's the long-established category of virus (the full genus name is alphacoronavirus), analogous to other types of viruses like enterovirus or norovirus.

I can see people taking precautions just to be extra safe. because as the saying goes, 'it's better to be safe, than sorry'. If people in the U.S. who could potentially have been exposed to influenza were subject to a federally mandated 14-day quarantine, then you could compare fatality data. What is important about corona virus versus influenza virus (or any two viruses compared to one another) is how likely you are to catch it once exposed to it, and how fatal it is once you contract it. So, of course, geography has everything to do with a statement like yours. If you were speaking about central China, your statement would be akin to saying I'd be much more worried about a knitting needle than a loaded Glock. Especially with forewarning, and quarantine guidelines in place, the U.S. is its own story, but not the only story.

This is a deadly virus which is exponential , spreading like the bubonic plague , and is
airborne , entering through any opening on a person's face . About 10 people are dying a
day , with about 500 dead , and about 50,000 infected in just over a month .

I have no idea. But in the warehouse restroom used by the Chinese laborers, there was feces flung everywhere. And I also realized that they didn't eve use toilet paper. I sometimes used that john as well, and I always had to bring my own.

Here are Tang Sze-wing's comments regarding her video: Where were all those good Chinese people when the Chinese army was slaughtering people in Tibet? What are they doing to help the millions of Uighurs and political prisoners languishing in Chinese concentration camps? I know, I won't get an answer from you. You're too busy chasing after your cats.

It's no joke, that's for sure. I could be wrong, easily, but I think Ebola's deadliest tenure, at the end of the last millennium, may be more comparable to what we know of the Bubonic plague, in terms of human destruction. Any disease that popularizes the phrase "crash and bleed out"... you know, it's a lot.
