Three is tres in Spanish, tres has 4 letters, therefore the chain is unbroken.

I don't know if that's a good or a bad sign for them.

That is some way thin logic. Run with it if it will make your day better.

It’s not like any of these numbers are correct anyway.

Families? Alot travel in groups of 4

That being said for those of you that read the long version of The Stand, the government sent out agents that had samples of Captain Trips to let lose to make sure it was not just the country that created it going down

I... I was making a joke. Sort of thought that was obvious, but guess not.

For Biblical, 4 links to appointed times also.

List of various meanings for the number 4.

In Chinese, 4 is unlucky because it sounds close to death. Hmmm ...

If they have a different version than what's been leaking out, then these "4 suspect" groups will tell the tale.

a reply to: FredT

Not necessarily families. Some cases one of them was a translator and the others were traveling for work reasons.

a reply to: burdman30ott6

No, no, I got it. But people get so serious on this site and run with anything I went the head down route. This virus is a somabitch.

But I thank you for the kevin hart gif. I like being reminded Im 6ft not five foot nuthin 👍

If I was going to speculate wildy-

Multiple 4 person infected teams sent by china across the globe to spread the infection,so the economic damage would spread,thus keeping the playing field "level."

Because if chinas economy tanks,and most of the other big global players manages to hold it together,that puts china at a disadvantage.
Also,if they are the only country who are having thousands of cases that makes them look bad/incompetant/inferior.
That means they(the horror!) lose face(or feel as though they have which is just as bad).
"Losing face" is of unimaginable consequence to china,its hard for us in other countries to comprehend how much importance they put on this-far more than the economy is putting it mildly.
In chinese society "face" sits high on its lofty throne,way above anything else.
We don't really have anything similar that compares..

Wild speculation over.

Yes. What I said is we're suppose to have more years ahead before the monkey.

That one works too. Rats were a main vector for the Black Death.

Yep, Spanish doesn't count because Spanish speaking countries are insignificant geopolitically

Eleven in Spanish is spelled once. Really? Where was the logic there? "We put a one behind a one once"

I love that movie. Lionel! Lionel!!!

Hahaha. Haven’t seen that or meet the feebles in years. Lets hope that little bugger stays in the movies.

Gang of Four: A popular name for four Chinese Communist Party leaders who rose to prominence during China's Cultural Revolution, but were ousted in 1976 following the death of Chairman Mao Zedong. Among the four was Mao's widow, Jiang Qing. Since then, many other political factions headed by four people have been called "Gangs of Four".

4

Four (四, formal writing: 肆, pinyin sì) is considered an unlucky number in Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Japanese cultures mostly in Eastern Asia because it sounds like the word "death" (死, pinyin sǐ). To avoid complaints from people with tetraphobia, many numbered product lines skip the "four": e.g. Nokia cell phones (there is no series beginning with a 4), Palm PDAs, etc. Some buildings skip floor 4 or replace the number with the letter "F", particularly in heavily Asian areas. See tetraphobia and Numbers in Chinese culture.
