COVID-19

Just reading that the Chinese government are saying the rest of the world are over playing the situation, that maybe so but as a Communist's they only allow news out of the country that suites China.

 

The next “Ebola”. Will be contained soon enough

 

If you compare it to normal flu, currently it is a storm in a teacup

Seasonal flu kills 291,000 to 646,000 people worldwide each year, according to a new estimate that's higher than the previous one of 250,000 to 500,000 deaths a year. The new figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other groups were published Dec. 13 in The Lancet medical journal.

 

Everyone has to die of something.
Although in years to come a super virus/bug will probably be more harmful than any wars etc

 

They will mostly be vulnerable people and that figure makes up 0.000022% of the population of that city, which gives perspective!

 

This is all a bit tin foil hat Brigade so humour me but there are rumours that patient zero of Corona Virus is in fact a graduate from China’s top biosafety laboratory and WHO will not release the name.

maybe we are further down the line than people think and this is some sort of stress test to see how countries cope?

As I said bit of a mad conspiracy theory there

 

We're all dooooooomed a tell thee.....

 

Now in Italy.

 

little holiday?

 

Such a little bug
But it could create a worldwide lockdown

Dont even kiss the wife!

 

Something doesn't stack up to me. Statistically it looks less deadly than regular flu, but there appears to be a very, very strong response being mobilised. Either its worse than is being reported, or theres some sort of concern about how deadly it could become if it mutated.

That's how mankind will become truly done for. A global virus of some kind. That, or twitter.

 

Any truth in this ?.

 

No.

 

What worries me is they say it’s less harmful than flue and yet there is all this fuss. What are they not telling us

 

An employee at my firm, her husband has just returned from Milan. He has no symptoms, but his employer has imposed a 14 day quarantine on him, so we we've had to do the same.

Its going to cause carnage.
