"1800s", seriously...

Do anyone actually use brain power when tweeting about the coronavirus?
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

London blowing up in cases.



Chevron closed their office there.
Chevron sent their office home because one person who had traveled from an area of known infections reported not feeling well and has been placed in quarantine. That's not "London blowing up with new cases"

This is an RNA virus like HIV, correct?

I'm worried it isn't necessarily "like the flu" ... what if it causes slow but chronic damage to organs and body systems and lessens life span in those that don't die suddenly?

Anyone seeing data to disprove this fear?


On a similar note... what if it makes your pecker fall off? Has anyone seen data to disprove that fear?
It is documented to make your balls swell up, so it would make your pecker look much smaller in comparison.

Interesting look at a small village in China. If you don't know who this guy is, he's a relatively well known guy worldwide thanks to his drinking abilities and that he's funny, likable, a good cook, and a good family man.

This is his Twitter account.


Sounds like the small villages in China are taking it upon themselves to quarantine. I could see things like this happening here if it gets bad enough. Though this would require some trust and I don't know if we have that here anymore.

Consider the source.

The CDC is so far behind on this thing. China doesn't matter anymore since it's broken containment. The focus now should be inward and not outward since it's inevitable it will spread here.
Go back and read the event201 analysis I posted yesterday (the outbreak war gaming by CDC/Johns Hopkins).

Maintaining global travel was one of the top five objectives of the federal government during a pandemic.

Containment / quarantine was not.

Some leaders are capable of handling perceived and/or real emergencies, some aren't. Time will tell how he handles this.


Not off to a great start IMO.....maybe he should use spell check. Someone needs to take his Twitter privileges away.

Oh I agree. Problem is, due to the PC culture in our country, doing the right thing would have had the left howling and Hawaiian Obama judges warming up their pens.

When it was clear China lost control of the situation late last month, we should have shut down all international travel to the U.S. Americans could be brought home on charters, but put into quarantine for 21 days after getting back to American soil.

And get that wall with Mexico finished stat.

We will probably have another 50-100 cases today trickle in. At least.

SK had a death cult running around the country actively trying to spread this thing. Their numbers are going to continue to be pegged for some time.

Maybe a CDC official related to Rod Rosenstein shouldn't go rogue and counter to Azar and POTUS.

wierd thought passing a Shen Yun billboard, but I wonder if their ticket sales have just totally tanked with all of this going on. The relationship between the Chinese gov and that production is not good, so I wonder if they ever even go back to Asia...still, I bet people arent buying.

also curious if people who purchase things from direct from factory sellers like Wish are receiving any product at all.

My aunt almost panicked when she realized she ate Chinese food a couple of weeks ago, so this has to be happening.

That has nothing to do with his tweet....

Don't get distracted by the shiny objects. Focus on the man that signed up for this job.

Ultimately he's the one that is going to be held accountable for his handling of this. Sucks to be him but that goes w wearing the POTUS label.

Harvard epidemiologist is predicting that 40% to 70% of humanity will be infected within a year.

It's the entire context of his tweet. He's talking about the market and if you were watching the market yesterday, it tanked on the CDC officials comments on a conference call that were completely counter to Azar and his.

Details are important, especially if people think the economy is going to tank and they are going to get sick and die.

The woman went counter to her bosses comments that instilled panic. It wasn't her job. You say POTUS signed up for it, then let him do his job. Not have some woman related a man that hates him go rogue with a conference call

Study published in The Lancet, I doubt it's been peer reviewed yet.

Synopsis:
Study of 52 critically ill patients from a single hospital.
The primary outcome 61% of the study was death by day 28.


Mean age 59.7
67% men 33% women
40% already suffered chronic illness
61% were dead at day 28
Average length of time from admission to ICU was 7 days
71% required mechanical ventilation (very taxing on the system)

98% had fever
67% Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
29% acute kidney damage
23% cardiac damage
29% liver damage

I focus on the facts. And right now, they are on his side, and he is 100% correct. Take your TDS elsewhere.

He's changed his tune to only say adults but still that is an enormous amount of people. Let's hope it doesn't come back for a second round like the Spanish Flu. Given this things reinfection rate, it's not a good scenario for anyone.

He misspelled a disease that has quarantined nearly a billion people, shattered the global supply chain, caused widespread fear, and has killed 1000s and has the potential to spread to every corner of the globe....does that instill confidence and trust in his leadership abilities?

He might as well said 9/12 was a great tragedy for the country.....

I had the same thought driving into work Monday and looked at tickets. I'm not sure how crowded it usually is, but there were large blocks of seats at every price level. They're obviously worried too...as demonstrated by the nice big "WE'RE NOT FROM CHINA" on the main page.

44 new cases and 3 new deaths in Iran. [source] [source]
- Epicenter of the outbreak is the central city of Qom.
- Schools and cultural institutions closed for a week in over 10 provinces as of Tuesday Feb. 25 in order to "prepare schools" which have to be disinfected and sanitized.
- More than 1750 tests performed.
- Iran's Deputy Health Minister falls ill with coronavirus (video).
- Iranian Government Spokesman Ali Rabiyee cautioned yesterday that "those regional states which have kept the number of their coronavirus-infected patients confidential will be bombarded by media reports about their conditions in the next few days."
Yep, lots of un-reported infections in Iran which was obvious considering their morality #s.

Not from China?

The backdrop picture does not look like it's from New York.

"Unlike in Italy, Iranian officials are refusing to impose quarantines in areas affected by the outbreak. They say quarantines are old-fashioned and that they do not believe in them"

The irony of that statement is outstanding!
Not if you understand that basically everything they push is exactly, perfectly wrong in every way.

Well at this point we clearly have to assume the absolute worst unless we have data to prove otherwise. I'm running with dicks falling off unless we have data to prove otherwise.

The Shen Yun show is definitely about China and Chinese Culture, but Shen Yun is a religious organization that is labeled as a cult by the Chinese government. The wiki page and rabbit holes you can head down are pretty interesting on the topic.
