Flu

[malleefarmer]

Could be wrong here but definitely a death in oz.

Tricky bit seems he was cleared of the virus after being on the cruise ship and it kinda came back sadly he’s gone elderly chap.

Hairdresser did a chick from Iraq or Iran been in oz for 2 weeks before it flared up in Iran, now hairdresser has it and everyone that was at salon is being tested or quarantined or both.

Think above is all legit.

Jazz on vaccine that’s a negatory internet fake news did some checks and appears false. Not a shot at you jazz.

Far out there some BS out there mostly derogatory to ch8nese, it escaped from infectious disease centre were it was being manufactured all that sot of shitz so they could get cheaper food blah blah.

Two sorts of loonies in the world right wing and left wing both nutters at times

The data is overwhelming in favour of it being a bioweapon. Too many gains of function. From India to China scientists confirm HIV genetic splicing into the original coronavirus genome that was stolen a few years back from the Winnepeg Level 4 biolab. There have been a number of reports that the virus is reappearing in patients weeks after they recovered and were cleared. Not a good sign that a vaccine will ever come about. Do your own do dilligence. I think it's worth giving people the heads up, 'Hey maybe grab some extra arse wipe', but it's a waste of precious time trying to convince anyone. When shit gets real don't come to my doorstep looking to borrow a roll.

If its a bioweapon then its like a lot of things coming out of China - its not a very good one.

The apparent morbidity is in the 3.5% range but that's extremely over-stated. The denominator in that calculation is incidence and there's no chance all the sickos are getting counted. Try looking up how many people get the flu every year if you don't believe me. The numbers just don't exist and they can't exist.

Every few years there's something comes along that the media says is going to kill us all. This has more to do with selling soft drinks, toothpaste and feminine hygiene products than it does with medicine. Its primarily killing old people but you know what ---- life kills old people too.

It’s not the fall that hurts, it’s suddenly stopping. *In December 2019 the entire world, just-in-time global economy was humming along, a month later it metaphorically ran into a brick wall.

A stop so sudden that nobody has any clue how badly the system was harmed.* Because it’s a complex system it also means that nobody can predict any of the actual consequences.

Televangelists and fear mongers are having a hay day in our new information age and there are benefactors in this scare as with any. The common flu kills many each year but has it changed my life any? Granted its not a bad idea to practice enhanced hand sanitation, hygiene, quarantine if ill and crowd avoidance in affected regions but to extrapolate the threat to mankind to infinity is just like climate-change science.

Has any cold hearted analyst run the numbers on which would do the least damage to world GDP, and have the quickest recovery to growth:

Letting the virus run its course through the world, accepting the miniscule death loss, and somewhat significant loss of productivity due to sick people,

Or rolling quarantines(with apparently only partial effectiveness) around the globe, extending for months if not more, while global trade, commerce, tourism etc. comes to a virtual standstill?

Cruise lines are still running and Caribbean says they haven’t cancelled any cruises.

Let's see even the WHO admits that 16% of the cases end up with serious complications in need of hospitalization, the common flu is 0.2%. That's a factor of 80.

Albertafarmer if a fire breaks out the best course of action is containment. Unless it's a yellow combine :-).

How many years will it take the world to trust China again assuming the CCP will survive this oops moment, with what looks like a Dr. Evil altered virus.

Will this be the equivalent of a Pearl Harbor, or Holocaust event.

There is no way in hell I would go on a cruise right now.

Once again showing the rumors, myths and outright lies are far worse then the disease.

Invoke logic tweety and follow it to its conclusion. There are companies in the US and Canada losing $10k a day waiting for a $10 part from china, 10,000 miles away behind a communist curtain. Imagine a scenario where internal unrest happens, or a huge natural disaster, or the next outbreak. 3 have come from there now.

You don't think companies aren't going to look at diversifying their supply chains now. Even if it doesn't come home to the US, it will be split to more than one country now. Guaranteed. The china experiment is over.

Do you think the mutations are a natural evolution.

Yes I should of have waited for more facts, but it would just turn into a another cut and paste battle, more my scientists against your scientists, however this story is a rarity, as facts aren't as important because the jeanie is out of the bottle relating to peoples opinion on the origin of this mutant virus.

The reason being the CCP have an atrocious record when it comes to human rights and validity of information, government related.

Let me compare it to someone who is charged with child molesting, even if you're found innocent by the courts, all subsequent crimes against children will raise suspicion towards you by some people.

The people's opinion, be it right or wrong, will decide.

Your talking about the way the CCP and most of the ROW Leaders are handling controlling WuFlu?

Risk is very low.

Till it's not.

Basically none will test if you haven't been on an airplane.
