But as has already been pointed out, the actual mortality rate of the flu is much lower (for a variety of reasons; could also be even lower but for dildo anti-vaxers) than for Carona (so far) so all things being equal I'd rather get the flu if I had to get one or the other. Stay tuned though, things can and will change.
No vaccine for corona has to effect the mortality outcome when compared to the winter flu.
the good news is the chinese technology won't work here because we all look the same.
This is why I bother to read threads like these.Quote:

Can one of you experts give me the green light to go back out in public.
Ahh, what’s the worst that could happen?
This could bring Trump down.

I'm told that "The heat, generally speaking, kills this kind of virus"
- Chinese apparatchiks deservedly received a lot criticism for initially ignoring and then downplaying the severity of 2019-novel-Coronavirus but the response from Chinese doctors and nurses has been heroic.
Because protective gear is in short supply front line hospital workers wear one level-3 suit without breaking the seal, no eating or drinking or bathroom breaks, for an entire 8-12 hour shift. In one hospital with an even greater shortage of protective gear workers went without and two-thirds of the medical staff became infected.
- As a result of the State putting its weight behind containing the virus, over the last couple of days new case counts have been dropping. That doesn't mean there aren't more total cases but the rate of growth appears to have flatlined.
It still took ~8 months to fully contain SARS and there's still a chance 2019-nCov will spread in other countries, so not out of the woods yet, but it looks like containment in China is working.

Lots of S02 produced by burning coal too, and we know they don't do any of that of China.
Did anyone else hear the interviews with several people who have been diagnosed with it and are quarantined on the cruise ship? They all reported being asymptomatic and that they would never have known they were sick unless they were told they had this virus.
Are people really getting sick or is this how martial law and a major crackdown on freedom of movement starts?
Good article worth reading.Quote:

Surprised the herald picked that up. Saw it a few days ago and wondered if it’s legit.Quote:

But for those infected exihibiting with severe lower respiratory symptoms, the fatality rate may be as high as 15-20%.Quote:

As a long time windy.com geek, I have frequently stopped to marvel at how a few of the pollution metrics typically look over China. Great source material for the likes of zh though.

In worse areas, everyone is on house arrest basically and social services workers are bringing necessities to the house, but there aren't enough social services workers so it makes for hungry days between deliveries.

Mr Walsh, who works for a firm providing gas analysis equipment, from Hove in East Sussex, caught the virus in Singapore and is thought to have infected 11 others at a French ski resort.
Five of the cases linked to Mr Walsh are in England, five are in France and one is in Majorca, Spain.

Oh I'm in the US. Massachusetts specifically. But the school I teach at has something like 18% of its students coming from China, so things that happen there tend to have effects here.Quote:
