This has to be a manufactured bio-weapon...the felching of bat anuses was a red herring
Relax it’s the 70 year olds and 80 year olds who are dropping like flies from the virus or those with pre existing health issues
How’s your impetigo?

Reefer, your thoughts
No worries from me, I prefer Japanese.

But there is some truth to your comments, did not the last major outbreak come from China. The issue is not just that the living conditions and methods of sterilizing where you prepare foods in China can be low it is how they deal with issues when they arise. As they are a dictatorship they try to minimize the impact so their country does not look bad. Look at the WHO doing their damn best not to upset China, Iran doing the same thing.

There needs to be a new level of control with flights no longer accepted to and from certain countries.

All major flu outbreaks come from Asia, normally China.
In part it is because 4 billion of the 7 billion people there are live in Asia. China and India alone combine for 3 billion.
This means even if flu outbreaks were evenly distributed throughout the world, which they are not, most would come from Asia.

In part it is because in the Chinese countryside pigs ducks and people live in close quarters.
This means the swine flu, bird flu and human flu viruses interact and influence eachother, and every now and then there is even a strain that jumps species. This time is slightly different, they blame the animal markets, and yeah, I’ve been to one. They’re insane. All kinds of animals - chickens, ducks, frogs, turtles, dogs, cats, racoons, monkeys, snakes, scorpions, rodents, pangolins, anything you can think of, in cages stacked on top of eachother, and then they’re slaughtered and cut into pieces right there, on a table where they also keep live animals... It’s insane. My wife couldn’t eat meat for several weeks after seeing it. I was shocked too, but hey - meat tastes good. :look:

W.H.O. says the Coronavirus death rate is 3.4% and the seasonal flu death rate is 0.1%

https://www.sciencealert.com/covid-19-s ... hould-drop

So yeah, not "somewhat deadlier"... 34 times deadlier! :wow:

But the worst part is... it's "spreading like the plague". :drink:

Highly contagious.

These numbers/rates are subject to change as the virus mutates of course.

This may/may-not be the bug that kills millions/billions, but said bug will be along eventually...

Therefore the number of people infected is growing exponentially.

(at a rate that dwarfs that of HIV)

It's not the media that advised cancelling this game...
Isn't this mentioned in the the Book of Revelations?
I'm a little rusty on Revelations but yes, I believe so.

I believe in Revelations the Pestilence prophecy was represented by "The Fifth Horseman". Wait... :shock:

Let’s not forget that there is a PLA biological/genetic research facility near Wuhan, where the outbreak began. Is there enough evidence at this time to connect it to the outbreak at this time? Not yet, but where there’s smoke... It’s public record via the CCP’s version of their defence white paper that genetic and bio-warfare research is a priority of theirs. Did something escape the lab, perhaps??
Love the Sport. Love the Team.
