Back to news...
NK is already taking a victory lap... let's see how that pans out.

They have been preparing for it since July 28th 1953. Not even Corona Virus wants to go to North Korea

We have innate immunity to flu, not so for covid 19. That means that you go longer where the virus replication goes unchallenged by any immune response, meaning more damge while showing no symptoms. This results in more contact transmission than the flu. Compound that with a more efficient means of attachment than that of the flu and you have an recipe for ridiculous spread. It's not "just the flu". It very much needs to be respected for what it is... a silent invader on the prowl for the immuno-compromised. This is the flu's big brother and if we're not careful it'll be happy to prove it.

My money is on at least 10 cases by Monday

So it begins. Hope you preppers have your bunkers built because if not then you're ****ed.

And mine said it may not be traditional, but she preferred lemon curd and that is where I got it from. I like the tartness better than the sweet against the crumbly scone

Plus, I subscribe to a British Cooking magazine and they have had a recipe for blueberry scones with lemon curd

---

Well, I will have to defer to British Cooking. On to trifle and Victoria sponge cake!

---

Try a London Fog cake.

It has become my new favorite.

That is very rich for us survivalists. We may have to rely on Rock Cake or Anzac biscuits due to the amount of oatmeal on hand.

Worried this will happen a lot more especially in China...

Scottish oat cakes! Those are great with butter and jam.

I do have many types of tea and a tea set, so I will survive in style. Until I am forced to eat the canned soups I bought.

Afternoon tea is just so lovely. That is something I wish we could adopt over here

Option 4: Concrete and steel safe room in a house in suburbs

Then do it.


I have done it dozens and dozens of time. It isn't difficult. Maybe a little bit of time.


Nothing stops you from having afternoon tea.

Great article explaining CDC's bungling of this outbreak so far:

If this hits a major city in Texas? It could go more than that if dozens are infected and schools etc close for a couple of weeks

Third community transmission case?

You care to wager? I'll take the flu kills more people this year, you take the silent invader? $100?

The tests can't be trusted!

Too many false negatives!

CDC working on the background to eliminate false tests and reduce mass hysteria...

Why isn't CDC testing everyone!

They know everyone is already infected!

This board is in constant contradiction.


I will say I went to cvs and the entire sanitizer section was wiped clean. Thanks texags

Sack up. Paint thinner, gasoline, kerosene work better anyway.

Chlorox

Are you talking Jan 1 to Dec 31 2020?

I'd be interested except profiting over a death count seems distasteful.

Yes...

Ok, the funds can go to help fight whichever virus wins out.

Infections
COVID-19: Approximately 84,119 cases worldwide; 62 cases in the U.S. as of Feb. 28, 2020.
Flu: Estimated 1 billion cases worldwide; 9.3 million to 45 million cases in the U.S. per year.

Deaths
COVID-19: Approximately 2,871 deaths reported worldwide; 0 deaths in the U.S., as of Feb. 28, 2020.
Flu: 291,000 to 646,000 deaths worldwide; 12,000 to 61,000 deaths in the U.S. per year.

So why the COVID-19 panic when there's no flu panic?

I'd like some of that action. I'll take flu. And give him odds.

Option 3. Line of sight. Remoteness. Can relocate easier.

Option 2 provided it is far enough away from significant populations.

Have you done the math yet? I let it sit with you a while to see if you'd figure it out. So, you're still much more afraid of Covid than the flu? Have you done the math on your odds of catching it, then figure you have a 2% chance of dying if you do get it. Versus the odds that you catch the flu and have .05% chance of dying, which is more likely that you die? Keep in mind, you have 0% chance of dying if you never get it.

But once you are found you have no way out.

1. They're not mutually exclusive. Having COVID19 out in the wild doesn't lessen the severity of flu. Right there the entire premise basically falls apart.

2. I'm not afraid of either one.

3. No one knows the risk of getting COVID19 at this point. It is likely large spread in risk based on public action and how the next few months go. It may be zero if it's contained. If not it could become a pandemic like Spanish Flu did, with similar results.

It's a stupid comparison. You can pick any risk. Drowning, lightning, driving, air travel, and say yeah these pose a greater risk. But that doesn't mean steps shouldn't be taken to mitigate a new risk.

If you think it's a zero risk and a waste of time, why are you even reading this thread? The conversation has been had over and over again. It's not the flu. It's not the same kind of virus. It's not the same kind of sickness. It's a dumb comparison.

I'm simply asking why there isn't a 300 page thread on the flu?

Hence the sniper tower...

Governments don't ban travel for seasonal flu... so your wager is silly. The simple fact that upper level officials are willing to do what they are doing in spite of the economic impact should be a red flag as to the seriousness. I'm glad our leaders are taking it more serious than some here... do some research and you'd be changing your tune. This isn't apocolyptic, but I'd bet the farm there are people close to you that would be seriously affected by this if things progress here by acting like its no different than the seasonal flu. The science clearly illustrates that this needs to be taken seriously. I hope the numbers are controlled to be lower than the flu, but to think that its on the same level of the flu is pretty ignorant. I don't want to be offensive about that, but it's true.
