Well, this is concerning:

m.theepochtimes.com...

Chinese hospitals are turning sick people away, saying there's no space for them. This man has died, five relatives have fallen ill, with one in emergency care. The others were turned away. His sister is claiming Chinese officials are trying to silence her.

This feels very bad.

Toner's simulation of a hypothetical deadly coronavirus pandemic suggested that after six months, nearly every country in the world would have cases of the virus. Within 18 months, 65 million people could die.

"The outbreak of the mystery SARS virus is a chilling reminder of our frailty in the face of Mother Nature. This programme follows the story of an epidemic that brought the world to the edge of panic. A dramatic reconstruction and investigation into how the lethal virus spread across the world from just one super-spreader in a lift in Hong Kong, and how scientists tracked transmission, and dealt with it."

Beware the almighty coronavirus cold. Alert. Alert.

I see you're a reptile. This is all your fault seeing as how this thing came from snakes. We should probably burn you as a witch.

Just be prepared.

This will be worse than the ebola epidemic because anyone from China with any sniffle at all will be suspect, and seeing as how this is the time of year for sniffles of all kinds ... that will be quite a few.

Funny you say that, as we had the confirmed Ebola case here in Dallas. I'll never forget it.

It's really not as bad as it seems it's only killing people who are already weak .. Lets hope it doesn't mutate .

The first victim, as Fox News previously reported, was a 61-year-old man who was diagnosed with abdominal tumors and chronic liver disease prior to falling ill. Officials in the report said the man was hospitalized on Dec. 27 and died on Jan. 9. His death was followed by a 69-year-old man who passed away on Jan 15.


Of the fatalities, 13 were men and four were women. Most of the deaths occurred in older people who had underlying health issues such as hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, and Parkinson’s disease, among other health ailments.

The youngest fatality involved a 48-year-old woman who passed away on Jan. 20. She also suffered from pre-existing conditions. Two 89-year-old men were the oldest of the 17 victims, according to the report.
