You are not much help bro. I already said Corona is worse than the flu. The beer Corona is pretty bad too but that is another story.

This will be worse than the Spanish flu of 1918

Why do you say that ?

(I'm not doubting you - I just want to know what your reasoning is.)

I can think of one reason - everybody is dependent on China for their manufacturing.

The 1918 flu didn't shut down manufacturing.


This virus is squirrelly, contagious as hell, and anti-bodies don't work.

i.e. people who have just had the virus are getting re-infected and then dying. So either their anti-bodies aren't working - which would indicate that a Vaccine won't work.

OR the virus mutated, and their second infection is with a different strain.

The scientist I trust is calling this a 100 year flu, i.e. comparable to 1918. (but not a flu)

I'm waiting for him to revise that, to 500 year flu.


I was just talking to a friend about it.

At this point it's a wise move to stock up on just about everything, but especially medications, since they're also mostly made in China.

Also, even medications made in India or Mexico - they buy precursors from China.


I wouldn't be surprised to see China recovered in 6 months, and the US is where China is now. Because China is doing the quarantine and the US isn't.

You guys getcha some LDM-100, it may actually work.

As for the people waking up and noticing things they buy are getting kinda scarce, and maybe they better stock up before it's too late... I made another run this evening and am still thinking of stuff I should have around. A whole WMT carries about enough TP for maybe 10 families to last 3 months. People haven't been paying attention to the crisis in Venezuela and other supply shortages. Wait till it hits here. You won't want to be anywhere near a city. Or my place.

Like the filters the heat/AC use. Changes of oil/filter for the truck and grass mower.

I think it's on par with the 1918 flu ,the world is different. People are even stupider...besides the 1st world countries most others might as well be living in 1918 with a much larger population...the supply shortage to follow will mean massive famines and chaos in the 3rd world and developing countries.not to mention all the secondary diseases from just the sheer numbers of rotting bodies that surely will happen in the extreme poverty stricken areas.

Even with what the Chinese did and is doing, it had little effect to control it.

The asymptomatic stage in one person was 27 days...how many could that person infect unknowingly? Once it shows up in an area, thousands are already infected. It's too late.

Its starting to show up with no connection to China now,in places as far as Italy, migrating birds and insects,animals,packages, mail,money,the wind are carrying it. Cats out the bag.

I don't think its mutating the second time around but your just already very weakened by it. Those didn't get a chance to fully recover before reinfection.

The west will be slow to respond but will be in better shape than china I believe, with a smaller population and top technology. westerners are more ignorant of reality than the Chinese and dont have experience with such things like Asia does, they've had several wild rides in recent years.

U.S. just upgraded travel "watch " for Asian countries...2 more weeks before it gets really interesting.

At the present time there are four versions of the common cold accounting for 90% of all colds.
All colds are caused by corona virus, and no vaccine in a hundred years.

One possible outcome is this corona virus settling down after a rapid proliferation into an unprepared population. It will mutate continuously after that and rotate with the other four corona virus strains as it travels. Death rates of the common cold are low, some higher than others but generally less harmful than the flu.

So far the outlook is for a pandemic. The target is to keep the death rates low as it spreads. Secondary infections can be lessened.
The date is no longer in the early 1900's, we will do better.

Any Caucasian, Hispanic, Negro healthy people die yet? Why has the news been so quiet all of a sudden about the regular flu season, which has keeled a bunch of people so they say.

There's this... (best way I know cause the pic is twatter):

In Italy there is currently a 38 years old in severe conditions. He was healthy, practiced sport and never flown to China. The virus is actually spreading between locals and I'm quite sure that the same is happening unknowingly around Europe as I'm writing this.

Haven't heard by others that Asian males are more vulnerable to this virus than Africans or Causicians or Hispanics.Children seems to be less vulnerable.
Btw perhaps its already going on in Africa without any proper testing.In Iran 5 people died and 18 new cases.

Suspected to be sky rocketing in New York state which makes sense, lots of Chinese flown there and American coming back before the travel ban, NYC is on the brink I believe.

I am stupid beyond words so please give me some details so my feeble brain can try to grasp what you know, wise one. I have been following some news but not enough it seems.

Sounds like somebody isn't watching enough youtube broadcasts!

That's where the real news is that the fat cats in control don't want you to see!


Forget that Russian trolls are behind most of this. It's amusing watching the basement dwellers think they're on to the real dope meanwhile it's Vlad and Igor pulling strings again.

Armchair microbiologists. That's a new low.

Erdogon is asking for it

Erdogon is asking for it

Will Corona virus slow down this?

Syrian news agency shares footage of Russian strike on Turkish military

https://www.google.com/amp/s/ahvalnews.com/idlib/syrian-news-agency-shares-footage-russian-strike-turkish-military%3famp

Erdogon has invaded Syria and hs troops are shooting US supplied Stingers at Russian planes. he has already asked the US to patrol over his invasion, and since the S-400 won't work against Russian planes, NOW he wants the Patriot system.

These are Turkish Army guys shooting at a Russian plane. Bad idea.

Chinese aren't the only people eating wild animals.

Duck Dynasty practically turned Squirrel Brains into a Cuisine Classic.

I wonder if that virus is also spread around some American animals, e.g. bats.

I've had biscuits and squirrel gravy, with some old great depression era folks. Good stuff.
 
...Children seems to be less vulnerable.

Here are the numbers
German Spiegel reported about a report of the Chinese health administration. Here are the numbers:

Age / Number of infected people / casualties / death rate
0 - 9 years / 416 / 0 / 0%
10 - 19 years / 549 / 1 / 0.2%
20 - 29 years / 3619 / 7 / 0.2%
30 - 39 years / 7600 / 18 / 0.2%
40 - 49 years / 8571 / 38 / 0.4%
50 - 59 years / 10.008 / 130 / 1.3%
60 - 69 years / 8583 / 309 / 3.6%
70 - 79 years / 3918 / 312 / 8.0%
over 80 years / 1408 / 208 / 14.8%

Average case fatality rate of men: 2.8%

Average case fatality rate of women: 1.7%

You can find here:
https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft...t-sind-a-261c0cf4-2ca3-4a42-a85b-d3dc546faa98

When I see this numbers I think it is questionable which countries will be more affected: Countries like Germany and Japan with modern health systems but very old societies or Africa, with nearly no health system but young populations.

Btw perhaps its already going on in Africa without any proper testing.In Iran 5 people died and 18 new cases.

Latest news: Austria stopped all trains from Italy.

My prediction: Milano will be the European Wuhan.

US still have one or two month. If at all.

It's only Feb, we're not gonna warm up to kill the virus until May. Tee vee said they have spread Diamond Princess people to Anniston, AL where a chem weapons facility used to be. Gotta spread it around... good place.

https://www.al.com/news/2020/02/eva...s-quarantine-being-moved-to-alabama-site.html

https://www.chicagonow.com/uncommon-sense/2013/08/toxic-vets-ft-mcclellan-08072013/

It looks like bringing those 14 people back on the same plane with everybody else was contrary to what Trump was told. Of course he was pissed. Now those 14 are not going to Anniston, which it turns out is now the FEMA training center for ALL chem disaster and health emergency training. Imagine infecting the place where the responders come from?

Who is behind this idiotic response?
