I think if actually faced with the situation, you might be suprised. People are perfectly fine locking themselves down so that they don't catch this from others. If people riot, there is a good chance you will come in close contact with someone and get the virus yourself. Most of the people are locked down and content not because they are being told to but because they are scared of contracting the virus. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to cancel my trip to Japan and the Philippines in March... sighhhh I think this mass hysteria and fear mongering is getting out of hand. More people die from normal flu than this virus. out of 10,000 only 213 died so the mortality rate is less than Sars or Mers. No need to cancel your trip, the way people have bought sanitizers and masks all over the world, nothing will happen to you. The epicenter is in Wuhan not japan or philippines. Just go about your day and wash hands frequently. Edited January 31, 2020 by DefCon1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more fear that can be instilled the greater the power those that rule have over others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) Woman in her 20s confirmed as 3rd case of coronavirus in Ontario A woman in her 20s has been confirmed by health officials as the third case of the new coronavirus in Ontario on Friday. The patient returned from Wuhan, China — which is said to be the epicentre of the outbreak — to Toronto and took a “private vehicle” to London, Ont. Officials said the woman was asymptomatic when she arrived on Jan. 23, however, they said she began to exhibit symptoms of the virus the next day and went to the hospital. Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. David Williams said the woman originally tested negative for the virus, however, after additional testing, he said she was found to be positive by the National Microbiology Lab. Williams said the national lab “uses a more sensitive test that can identify the smallest trace of the virus.” Officials said the woman had limited exposure to other people since returning from China and has since been in isolation, except for time spent in the hospital. The woman’s recovery was quick and she was fully recovered within two to three days. Western University issued a statement Friday confirming the woman is a student of theirs but said she has not been on campus since returning from China. The statement said the Middlesex-London Health Unit confirmed there is very low risk to Western students. https://globalnews.ca/news/6489956/3rd-case-coronavirus-confirmed-ontario/ *************** 4 in total in Canada.

Lots of reporting that it is not.......... 'Burning Bodies In Secret' - New Accounts From Wuhan Detail Coronavirus Outbreak Almost 2,000 new cases of coronavirus were confirmed in China on Thursday, lifting the country's total to approximately 9,692, surpassing all of the 2002-03 SARS epidemic in a matter of weeks. All of the deaths have been in China, now at 213. Globally, there are 9,816 cases of the deadly virus. There have been doubts about the officially confirmed cases and deaths in China - could be much higher some claim. The New Zealand Herald has published a new report that alleges Chinese authorities have resorted to cremating bodies in secret. DW News East Asia correspondent William Yang cited a report from Chinese-language news outlet Initium, which said cremation facilities in Wuhan, the epicenter of the deadly virus, were receiving bodies directly from hospitals without proper identification and were excluded from the official record. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/burning-bodies-secret-new-accounts-wuhan-detail-coronavirus-outbreak 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 16 minutes ago, Kragar said: That assumes everyone who is currently infected will live. True. I've only been doing simple division, cases divided by deaths. So far, day by day, using the numbers that nuckin_futz has been quoting. Seems to be between a 2.5 to a bit under 3 percent mortality. I'm really hoping the mortality rate drops for those cases back here in North America, due to better medical care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
