Not sure why this isn't getting more discussion. Scary stuff...there is no way the statistics coming out of China are real in any way, shape, or form.

Not sure how keeping people in open areas like this with poor sanitary conditions is suppose to help stop the spread of it (instead of just assuming everyone in there has it and you are detaining/isolating them).


And does this look like the way we would handle something that is like the flu?

    Because we have been told a massive epidemic is going to wipe us out about 100 times and it always proves to be bullshit. This will be no different. Worry about the flu. That’s 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times more likely to kill you. Yet people won’t get a fucking flu shot because “I got a flu shot once and got the flu”. Fuck off.

    20,000,0000 cases of the flu in the USA every year with 10,000-20,000 dead.

    I've never got a flu shot and never got the flu.

    My Mexican Canadian genetics wins.

    I never got a flu shot and never got the flu. Until I got the flu. Fuck me and fuck that. If there is something that even has a chance to keep me from going through that again I’m in. #neverforget

    I don't worry about Chinese colds and the media lies and politicians lie. SARS, that Mexican flu thing 10 years ago are examples. Nothing ever happened. People with AIDS and Stage 4 cancer and 90 year olds die from it. Same as the flu.

    Except it somehow magically killed the 34 year old doctor who blew the whistle on it. Fucking commies. MacArthur shoulda fucked them into oblivion when he had the chance.
    Rightly or wrongly. MacArthur never had the chance. The final say was with Truman, who refused to grant permission.

    Ditto. Happened a long time ago and was shocked at how much worse it was as compared to “stomach flu” and/or “24 hour flu”, neither of which are flu bugs. Real flu will make you wish for the sweet taste of death. #neverforget #flushotseveryyear.

    I'm not worried about the health effects of the virus here...I think (hope) we have enough sense on how to address it. And with most of these things they hit malnourished and the very young/very old much harder than the general population.

    I am worried about the impact of what seems to be going on in China will have on the global economy. Everything points to it being a much bigger deal then they are letting on...you don't put almost 400MM people under Marshall Law unless you are worried, and you don't only have 30k cases and magically also run out of hospital beds and start housing massive amounts of folks in makeshift dorms everywhere. In one of the main manufacturing areas of the country. Supply chains are already strained from the shutdown...several SK auto factories are already planning on shutting down next week because of lack of parts and companies like Apple are warning if factories don't open in the next week or two they are going to start running out of products. Add to that the loss of oil demand which is going to dump a much more on the open market.

    If things don't start back up over there in a week or two its really going to start gumming up Global Trade.

    Or encourage more companies to move out of China which they should anyway

    Between Trump, Hong Kong, the African swine virus and the corona virus - Xi and his chicoms are facing some serious sh*t. Their debt load makes the US look like pikers. If I were Taiwan I'd be nuking up. Nothing like a war to deflect from domestic problems.

    This is all true and I'm already seeing major supply chain disruptions. Know a guy that works at Johns Hopkins(and ties to the CDC) and his belief is this will not be over in a week. Think more like months. Still not enough information coming out of China to make a call.

    And @RaceBannon , you don't just pack up and move full manufacturing facilities out of China overnight DF. And if they do take six months to 2 years to move it won't be to the US.
