CoronaVirus

Just FYI, the masks are really only good for those who are already infected to prevent them from spreading the infection.

Mortality rate is below 2% last I saw, so if you are a healthy person, you will likely take it like you would the normal flu.

Keep some hand sanitizer in your car, use disinfectant wipes every one and awhile on things you touch everyday, and things like that will help reduce the risk of getting it, but it is contagious before symptoms present, which makes it difficult to get under control.

How will you take it if you're like JAR and suffer from acute clitoral grainulosis?

~2% is the mortality rate. Its unknown the number of unreported infections, but you can be sure there are quite a few. Perhaps even some that have been exposed, had mild symptoms, and make a full recovery. With that in mind, that would bring that mortality rate down even lower.

Problem is that China is not telling the whole story.

True, but we can keep the stats of our own and hope the numbers stay low.
I think there are two deaths now in the US.

True, but one 'news agency' reported the victim as male, another reported it as 'female'....

So what was it? Male, female, or an 'it'?

And they wonder why we don't trust the media....

Please don’t compare this thing to normal flu.

A recovered person does NOT generate immunity to this. One can get reinfected.
It skips “normal” sequences of symptoms, directly attack the lungs, pneumonia like symptoms, which is not fun.
This thing leaves permanent damage, scar tissues in the lung. Small patch, a healthy lung can compensate the reduced effectiveness by working harder. Big patch may need lung transplant.

We really don’t know wtf this thing is yet, nor the real long term health implications. What one wants to do is one’s choice, just don’t under estimate it.

Why take chances until it's better understood.

And one more thing....among the more modern economies, big developed country, I can’t name one ruling body that can violate human rights the way Chinese government can.

Overnight, it can order a stop to an entire city...below things were done in a large scale...

All factory shuts down
All citizens stay home.
Police nailed boards to residential buildings entrances/exits to lock people in.
Restricting info outflow. Anybody attempting to report and record the truth disappears. Any recording evidences get erased (except for some IT savvy enough to bypass blockage to post videos to dark webs or western websites)

Don’t even get me started in the mortality rate....the funeral home workers in those heavily hit area are working OT on top of OT cremating dead bodies. There are dead bodies without cause of death being identified simply because there wasn’t enough coroners or time (there’s a newly imposed time limit of like 1.5 hrs from death @ hospital to picked up by funeral home worker).

So with all that said....with the extreme measures and cover up, this thing still blew up in China, so bad that citizens are getting outraged.

I have two little ones, I hope to god things get contained in US. But there’s no cure to virus (unlike bacterial infection). The only way to contain this is to be mindful, considerate and diligent. Under estimating this virus won’t do anybody any good.

To add to China's problems. Why would China quarantine 800 million people. Their population is 1.4 billion. That's over half being quarantined.

Adding to that, the Chinese government is not allowing food shipments into the cities that are 'quarantined'.... who knows how many people died from their bioweapon or died from starvation.....The problem can be solved simply.....12 empty tubes, 144+ mushroom clouds, it's Miller time....
