Bruh David Icke sounds like Alex Jones

I haven't listened or read any Alex Jones or David Icke but have just been told a couple of facts about Icke, I don't really believe anything from anyone to be honest, I don't even really believe in history... Have you ever played a game of Chinese whispers? Takes about three-eight people for the story to change, and there's billions of people on earth with liars, exaggerators, and more of the like with corruption and self gaining purposes... but that's a whole another discussion. What I'm saying is if you weren't there how can you know it's a fact, just cause someone wrote it? Cause some hot news lady told you? But does that make me some ignorant cunt that doesn't care about anything? Idk... But with all the fucked up world leaders atm I wouldn't be surprised if it was man made, and even if it is, we probably won't ever know, because some "facts" say otherwise. But I ain't gonna do the study myself, I have parties to attend

God it would be really fun to engage with that, but I gotta remember what's wibbles and what isn't...

Wuhan symptoms sound a lot like flu, as well as how deaths are mostly associated with the old and those with pre-existing conditions, and that some are just recovering over time...

Any more information on this:
?

Haha I bet, I can feel your fingers twitching

The flu has been around for ages and our immune system has built a decent understanding against it.

nCoV-2019 is new and even healthy people and children could easily die with its effect of pnuemomia and respiratory illness without proper care, proper care will be accessible easily in wealthy countries unless it spreads efficiently to human-human and infects millions.

Most healthy people would be able to recover after a good immune fight. But your grandma? Your friend with asthma or existing lung problems?

These aren’t just numbers.
“Oh healthy people are ok so I’m fine.”

If this does reach the point where it is the next common cold and we fail to contain it in time it will continue to grow exponentially.

A Spanish flu type death rate is easily achievable with something like this, even more so if it spreads to areas of high population or bad healthcare (India would be devasting)

Just be prepared for any outcome

Here are some graphs updated daily comparing nCoV to other recent illnesses https://ncov.r6.no/

There is no confirmation for this chart but it is just a simple exponential growth formula, it has so far respected the actual rates somewhat but take it with a grain of salt https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EPOmPMgW...=jpg&name=orig

As of now :

Infected - 9815( surpassed SARS)

ok doomer

I'm living in China so I'll way in.

I think a fair amount of the news in many western countries (read: american news) is over-sensationalized to the point of being misinformation. I'm not saying it's fake news or anything but this virus is only barely worse than the flue in most cases and the death rate is never going to be anything like SARS. the main danger is the prolonged incubation period where people are contagious and don't show symptoms. The reason this virus has surpassed SARS in infection numbers is because many people who have it don't know. That being said China really isn't fucking around with this and is currently implementing curfews in my city where to be outside you must be wearing a mask at all times. Riding the subway now requires passing through a temperature check which while being a nice touch is also not super efective due to the aforementioned incubation period.

overall I still think this isn't worth the hype if you live in America or Europe you should be cautious for sure but you are currently exceedingly unlikely to actually get the virus and even then much more likely to have normal flu like symptoms then exhibit the critical respiratory issues.

but the news sites gotta get there clicks so....

2 confirmed cases in the UK as of this morning. My weak immune system lookin ass is puckered now chaps.

My room mate's dad is an epidemics specialist (dunno the actual job title, but he specifically did research into how infrastructure and governments should react to epidemics) who recently retired, did a lot of work in Thailand. I'm gonna try and get his thoughts on the situation, I'd be interested to hear from someone who spent their whole life planning for epidemics.

China has been killing its citizens for organs for a long time, let alone all that 20th century stuff. I've heard some very startling stories from my Chinese step mum, which aren't really relevant here, but...
Generally when the PRC is organ harvesting, they cremate the bodies afterwards.

But even if it's just to under-report the Wuhan virus, and not related to their normal operations, it's hardly surprising. All about the face, ukno, the image.

That said I think China is a cool country, there's despotic regimes everywhere, I'd still visit. As long as there's no pandemic at the time ofc. I bet flights will be cheaper after this! lol

Chinese economy is getting rammed right now. I'd say more, but I'm on my phone 🤷*♂️
