Nah, it's only raysis for our resident evil actual literal super mecha-Nazi and white supremecist President Trump to close the US border to the Chinese.

Cross reference what was going on in the streets of Hong Hong, and what the world was looking at in terms of a more open China, and the international pressures being placed on them prior to the introduction of coronavirus; and now.

 

Now the world is backing away from China, the streets of Hong Kong are empty, videos are regularly emerging of people who do not appear sick being forced into custody, with what appear to be concentration camps rapidly being built.

 

I believe it's real, but that it's a man-made biological weapon that the CPP released it on it's own population in order to quell the uprising, and to kill off the poorer population which it's economy cannot afford to provide for.

 

I also suspect it was bio-engineered.  However i don't think it was released intentionally.  I think they just lost containment

 

Curious if anyone has seen HBOs Chernobyl series or are familiar with the historical events.  The severity of the reactor explosion was dismissed early on because the bureaucrats installed by The Communist Party did not want to lose position within the Party.  The explosion was denied to the outside world and when unable to cover it up anymore, the severity was covered up because The USSR did not want to admit to the world that Soviet nuclear technology was flawed and inferior to the West.

 

I think something similar is happening in China

Very good read.

 

The Lungs: Ground zero

For most patients, COVID-19 begins and ends in their lungs, because like the flu, coronaviruses are respiratory diseases.

They spread typically when an infected person coughs or sneezes, spraying droplets that can transmit the virus to anyone in close contact. Coronaviruses also cause flu-like symptoms: Patients might start out with a fever and cough that progresses to pneumonia or worse. 

After the SARS outbreak, the World Health Organization reported that the disease typically attacked the lungs in three phases: viral replication, immune hyper-reactivity, and pulmonary destruction.

Not all patients went through all three phases—in fact only 25 percent of SARS patients suffered respiratory failure, the defining signature of severe cases. Likewise, COVID-19, according to early data, causes milder symptoms in about 82 percent of cases, while the remainder are severe or critical.

Look deeper, and the novel coronavirus appears to follow other patterns of SARS, says University of Maryland School of Medicine associate professor Matthew B. Frieman, who studies highly pathogenic coronaviruses.

In the early days of an infection, the novel coronavirus rapidly invades human lung cells. Those lung cells come in two classes: ones that make mucus and ones with hair-like batons called cilia.

Mucus, though gross when outside the body, helps protect lung tissue from pathogens and make sure your breathing organ doesn’t dry out. The cilia cells beat around the mucus, clearing out debris like pollen or viruses.

Frieman explains that SARS loved to infect and kill cilia cells, which then sloughed off and filled patients’ airways with debris and fluids, and he hypothesizes that the same is happening with the novel coronavirus. That’s because the earliest studies on COVID-19 have shown that many patients develop pneumonia in both lungs, accompanied by symptoms like shortness of breath. 

 

Lots more info in article.

99 more cases on the Cruise Ship today. They should get everyone off that ship...

 

What a debacle that was.

How long did they keep those poor people cooped up in that incubator?

Aside from the fact that they probably got a ***** ton of unsuspecting souls infected, I wonder if they’ll ever be able to disinfect that ship.

Probably 14 days+ and then fumigation.

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE: 

 

Danger of getting coronavirus now is just minusculely low.’ 

 

” If China can contain their outbreak much better than they are and prevent wide distribution, we could avoid a global pandemic. If they don’t, we’re gonna have a global pandemic. We’re teetering right on the line of what’s going to happen.” Plus: “Another thing that we don’t know is why, with a respiratory-borne illness, are there virtually no children getting infected. I mean, there are no cases of kids less than 15 years old. Does that mean for some strange reason they’re not getting infected, or the illness is so mild in children that we’re not noticing it? It’s very clear the median age is 56 or 59.”

most Americans agree with me.  Go whine about unborn babies elsewhere 

To clarify, hold whatever opinion you'd like on abortion.  But if you think people on a football message board "not taking Corona virus seriously" enough for you has any impact on the world, then you need help.  

 

I'm not sure where "most Americans" stand on abortion and I don't think that really matters.  I'm pretty sure most Americans would agree it is sad and pathetic to joke about it to get a rise out of people.  This is another reason you may want to seek help.

what makes you think I believe any of you have any impact on the world?  Nothing you say here matters, and I can only imagine the giant impact you all have outside the internet (lol)

I am as concerned about corona virus as much I was about Sars, Ebola ,Bird Flu, Killer Bees from South America or any other fake disasters(particularly amused by the meteorite/virus combo that's pretty funny) thrown at us to make us run to the loving hands of the state. Which is not at all.  I'm more frightened of people who think abortion is roughly equivalent  to getting a mole removed. Much larger threat than any of this crap they roll out.

Most of us here are immune to the infanticide64 virus since we haven't been previously weakened by that TDS virus that pops its ugly head up now and then.

I'm still rooting for the meteor virus.

You were the one implying we don't care enough about the wu tang clan virus or whatever it is.
