Corona Virus Updates

Yet another disturbing article about cremations of bodies without identifying them as having died from the virus(to keep the official numbers down-

William Yang, a journalist for German publication Deutsche-Welle, claims China is “hiding” the number of deaths from the virus.
Yang cited Initium Media as a “credible” source and journalists had “interviewed people working at local cremation centres”. The sources confirmed “many dead bodies” were sent directly from hospitals to the cremation centres “without properly identifying these patients”.
“Which means there are patients who died from the virus but not adding to the official record. That shows the current death toll of 133 that we are seeing is way too low,” Yang tweeted

And another about how China is reacting to criticism,by jailing people-

Chinese authorities are cracking down on negative media coverage and social media commentary about the coronavirus outbreak, threatening anyone who breaches their rules with up to seven years in jail.

Believe the lies.
Do not have your own thoughts.
Trust the government.

I could totally see this happening and forcing a change in the system. I don’t think they will charge for the vaccine if one comes out but I could see new drugs being used like monoclonal antibodies that could either block the virus from binding or block severe inflammatory signaling in the body. Many of these drugs can easily cost up to 6 figures, probably more if they’re in high demand.

We can save your loved one with this new medicine, just sign here and here, then you get hit with another mortgage because it’s not in the treatment protocol of the insurance company.

It seems like we're getting closer and closer to something like the CronoVirus mutating into something like Ebola and retaining it's Airborne qualities. Then it will be Game Over as entire Cities, towns, villages will be dying out over night.

I doubt that is even possible.

Yep. Just my conspiracy mindset running wild.

Numbers start to flow from China ot follow or it's getting worst then all the prediction we saw

It *might* even explain why all of these western countries took the ridiculously stupid path of breaking quarantine to bring planes of disease and death into each country, voluntarily, as most nations' tax payers will be more accepting of huge tax dollar outlays going to WHO if they see it's fighting a plague in their own country rather than one isolated to China.

Jesus...

I hope you're wrong about that.

But I wouldn't be shocked.

I guess time will tell. The biggest problem with all of this, is that you cannot vaccinate stupidity.

I don't know about that. My neurologist offers me Aimovig every year I go in, and it's monoclonal. I haven't jumped on it because I'm stable on my current regime. It's expensive, no lie, but it's also not 6 figures.

But one of the things that determines cost is how much you can sell, and in a worldwide pandemic, you're going to use a lot. More than with many other monoclonals.

a reply to: TheAMEDDDoc

Americans were very understanding and supportive of everything the government did. This was because of honest and open radio broadcasts, regular media updates from government sources in the newspapers and open lines of communication between everyone.

Yeah, that'll happen.

Not.

As far as I can tell, so far, viruses with a higher infectious rate also have a higher level of stability and are less likely to mutate.

Measles 12-18 Stable, single serotype, long-lasting immunity
Mumps 5-7 Stable, single serotype, long-lasting immunity
Rubella 5-7 Stable, single serotype, long-lasting immunity
Poliovirus 5-7 Stable, 3 serotypes, long-lasting immunity
Respiratory syncytial virus 1-2 Two major antigenic groups, multiple antigenic variants within the groups, re-infection can occur
Influenza 1-2

So, considering that this one has an R0 of approximately 3.0, who knows, I'm not a virologist.

There are currently 9,171 confirmed cases worldwide, including 213 fatalities.

Hey I still have account here!

I was thinking more along the lines of Spanish Flu when it mutated and the second tidal wave that went around the globe killing tens of millions.
File that in the Worse case scenario file which I don't believe will happen but I'm no virologist/epidemiologist.

That won’t happen, I can predict what will happen.. The inner cities will get infected First, the democrats will blame trump, declare he is racist, I bet there will be riots, marshal law will ensue.. just first things coming to mind, if this thing blows up..

I bet a wooden nickel it will play out something like that... INITIALLY

Looks like the virus has mutated to become less deadly sitting just below 2% death rate now it started off at around 3%. Every cloud has a silver lining etc.

From what info I have gathered those that recover are literally scarred for life...


It’s a painful disease.

Not to mention those numbers may be more than likely skewed.

Rumors on China, cremating unidentified corpses, also threatening people prison, sentences on reporting current events in the country, that is not state sponsored.

🤷‍♂️

It's going to fall short of prediction for the first time I reckon, no way this gets to 11K with Wuhan already included and the number is around 9200-ish.

still follow the one i check from the start beside the dead lowering (good thing)

adding some update
