CORONAVIRUS: Update 2/17/2020

[Retirednsmilin308]

Same and I dropped 1K on extra supplies this morning. If nothing happens, then I will be glad and have supplies to last most of the year.

That is the good thing about "stocking and equipping up "....even if things pass over, it was still worth it.

Good luck to you and yours.
Though, you well know, good fortune also shines on those that think ahead.
Let's hope this is contained and our discussions were all academic.

Only problem is those numbers are most likely not accurate. Based on reports on the ground. The mortality rate could be 15 to 20% there could be a death toll well over 100K with millions infected. China would have never locked down or destroyed their economy for a death toll that is lower than a normal flu season. Not a chance. Out of the thousands who are officially recorded as having fallen ill, only a portion has been reported to have made a full recovery.

Granted some are unscathed. But there are some who have horrific injuries that will last a lifetime. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/s...s-to-the-body/ In many cases a re-infection means death. https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3876197

No. Several independent sources have arrived at that 2.5% mortality figure. What is interesting is that now they are coming up with this "2nd attack" bull$#@!. What they are saying is, "No escaping what we are doing to you or going to do to you."

I mean, have you ever heard of a virus that comes back even worse than its initial infection?

Abandon all hope ye who enter here.

Democrats are no doubt fully on board with whatever the Chinese government is doing to its citizens.

Send those people lots and lots of guns. Don't you agree, JaP?

I remain very skeptical of this. That the chinese government is offing its own for opposing its official version is strong evidence that they're lying.

Speaking of outbreaks.

Did you know that 1/2 the men in China now have Cataracts?

True.

The other half drive Rincolns.

What is a rincoln?

This can't be completely ruled out. See post 32, 34. http://thepoliticalforums.com/thread...-perfect-storm

They just went out for a stroll, huh?

My experience in buying and even a little selling into China has shown me that they are the most dishonest people that I have had to deal with. The truth escapes them. They are better than they used to be at dealing with Westerners but their word still means very little. I gave up and sell only to an intermediate in South Korea no that resells into China. On the other side they have tried to change pricing before they released containers of material to me by holding the containers hostage at their docks. I told them to keep their goods. Then about a month later they said they were ready to ship them to me at the agreed price. Too late.

Are they lying in this case. I would say I would bet on it.

It's a joke. Chinese say Rincoln instead of Lincoln which is a premium US automobile. They pronounce Cadillac as Cataract.

Hahaha... that's funny... Suddenly, I am thinking about South Park and City Wok

Jui sing woo and a few others said in Vancouver Canada that a man was arrested in a Walmart for taking off his mask and spitting on food carrying a knife. The man was implying he had the virus. Don't know if he has it but a lot of mental people out there and China reported people also spitting on elevator buttons and door knobs.
