Evidence if that is where?, tbh this year the a strain has been far worse but way more people have contracted the far less worse ( my English sucks!) b strain

a reply to: Adphil28

I’m from a town that unless you know it or live nearby, is almost guaranteed to be pronounced wrong. But then those Native Americans didn’t know English yet either.
Boy we learned them good! Gave them blankets and everything... wait a damn minute.

Neo is that you? Who’s black cat is this anyway?

Lol

Just that a lot of people have come down with it and the usual predictable numbers had died. Add them together, and they still total more than the corona virus, but it has been spread out across the country and across the entire season too. So we don't take any more notice of it than we normally do.

Tbh I think it looking less likely it’s going pandemic ( wuflu), the flu well we’ve all had it through various degrees from mild cold ( an excuse to stay off work for a week!) to lungs falling out dying for a month and 6 months of pneumonia and bronchitis (that sucks from experience!) but that doesn’t make it any less worse ( damm I suck at English tonight 🤦🏽‍♂️)

If this initially started end of November/beginning of December (which is obviously did since they have repeatedly claimed Patient Zero was first discovered December 1st) how certain can we be that the 14 day window is actually an accurate maximum from exposure to signs of symptoms? I still say a lot of virus strains have an initial dormancy period before they actually incubate, so how can we be certain this coronavirus doesn't do the same?

a reply to: Adphil28

Think I’m trying to say that things become normalised as we become used to them if you know what I mean, doesn’t make it less deadly or diminish its potential though

a reply to: ketsuko


Yeah okay. I get that there is 14-day arbitrarily induced mandatory quarantine. Not sure WHO gave the orders for it

And I admit I’m not great with numbers.

But isn’t the 4 weeks this things stays in the body longer than 14 days? Or did I completely miss the part where it’s not actively contagious then.

Ya know aside from it not being detected at all. Or after the fourth test in other instances..

Help a dumb American out here..

Bonus: see how this applies to my request for more info on Ashland NE. Three questions unanswered.

Like I don’t have cookies like texasgirl,

But I asking Pretty please. With a Cherry now...

All an epidemic is is a widespread occurrence of a disease in a community at a particular time. I think the threshold/Wiki is 15 cases for every 100,000. So it doesn't take much flu to make an epidemic.

I did say mid to end November in the first thread 🤷🏽‍♂️

I was just looking at Hubei numbers (province where WuHan is in). Their numbers do seem like total fiction:

Hubei, Mainland China
Confirmed: 22,112
Deaths: 618
Recovered: 867

More "recovered" than "deaths"? Somehow I do not think so.
Unfortunately, I would be more likely to believe that the 22k is more likely the "deaths", with infections being about a quarter-million.

Coronavirus update:
- 34,375 confirmed cases worldwide
- 26,359 suspected cases
- 719 fatalities
- 5,894 in serious/critical condition
- 1,838 recovered
- Most cases in China
- 25 countries reporting cases

There is an ongoing flu epidemic in the states.

Here in he province of Quebec (Canada) there is an influenza type B epidemic. Children are more impacted than adults.. There are schools where classes have only half he students present. Authorities said that this flu of B type impacts more children than adults because it’s more than 10 years that we did not have a lot of B so children are not immune to that.

Beside that, they say that we have 16 « common » corona virus infection in the province.

I get what your saying, put measles in to the same perspective, It used to kill many people, it was virtually gone ( until the dumb anti vaxers came among!, that’s an issue for another thread be right back), but do you worry about getting that?, of course not despite the fact getting it can leave kids deaf and blind , because it’s become normalised as a part of history, doesn’t make it less dangerous though does it?

a reply to: Rheowen

Yes thank you.

My condolences to Wuhan and the people of China

Might be. Depends on which web-site you're watching the graphs on. They aren't synchronized or anything.
